TheWrap

Che is under fire for joking "I’m not going to have sex with you if you might have dated Charlie Sheen" while tackling Brett Kavanaugh's testimony on "Weekend Update." “Che was making a joke about Brett’s supposed alcoholism and, somehow, made people with HIV the butt of the joke,” wrote Matthew Rodriguez of the Grindr-owned news website Into. He added that the joke “reifies the worst stigmas against people living with HIV, namely that they are unworthy of love and physical affection.”
