    Pronouns was/were.

    How could he say something so terrible? Was/were are clearly verbs.

    But in all seriousness, if this is hateful speech, then I guess all the transphobes that started using this joke years ago on Twitter are also mocking people’s deaths.

      The was/were thing directed at victims the right despises is such hateful claptrap and as you point out it’s been around for years, you better believe I was making that joke to myself about Charlie.
