The out host shot down homophobic tweets from the Trump-supporting actor and others.
Andy Cohen does not suffer fools.
The gay Bravo producer took to Twitter to slam James Woods and other trolls who were posting homophobic comments in response to the CNN New Year's Eve special Cohen cohosted with Anderson Cooper.
"Men in 2019..." Woods captioned a video in which Cohen and Cooper share a celebratory shot of alcohol -- a coded attack of their masculinity as gay men, as Cooper struggles with downing the liquor.
"Assholes in 2019....." Cohen tweeted in response.

Woods is no stranger to antigay remarks on social media. The 71-year-old actor, an ardent supporter of President Trump, aimed a homophobic tweet at Cooper in 2017, after the CNN anchor rolled his eyes in response to a snide remark from White House adviser Kellyanne Conway.

Watch What Happens Live host Cohen, who announced that he was having a child via surrogacy last week,revealed on the New Year's Eve broadcast that the child is a boy. "It's a boy, and I got to tell you something, I cannot wait to meet this boy," Cohen said on air.
This news -- coupled with reports that Cohen resisted a demand from Times Square organizers to abandon his clear umbrella on the rainy night -- produced other antigay attacks on social media.
