Bill Cosby Gets Ripped By Social Media For Calling Himself 'America's Dad' In Father's Day Tweet
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- An unexpected Father's Day tweet from comedian Bill Cosby led to some cringe-worthy moments on social media. Cosby referred to himself as "America's Dad" and said it's an honor to be called a father.
Hey, Hey, Hey...It's America's Dad...I know it's late, but to all of the Dads... It's an honor to be called a Father, so let's make today a renewed oath to fulfilling our purpose —strengthening our families and communities.#HappyFathersDay#RenewedOathToOurFamily pic.twitter.com/6EGrF87t6G

Cosby's spokesman said Cosby asked for the message to be sent out in support of a non-profit group.
But many criticized the post as being out of touch since Cosby is currently serving three to 10 years behind bars at a Skippack Township prison for drugging and sexually assaulting a woman.
