Few are laughing at President Trump's latest Twitter disgrace, where he retweeted a GIF this weekend showing him hitting a golf ball at Hillary Clinton that knocked her to the ground.
\u201c@realDonaldTrump Donald Trump's amazing golf swing #CrookedHillary\u201d— Donald J. Trump (@Donald J. Trump) 1505357554
"Every one of us should be offended by the vindictive and candidly dangerous messages the president sends that demean not only Secretary Clinton, but all women," Senator Dianne Feinstein of California said in a statement. She also condemned the tweet -- originally posted by an anti-Semitic Twitter troll -- as "apalling and disgusting"
Barbara Boxer, the recently-retired California senator, also released a statement on the GIF.
\u201cCan we all agree that hitting a woman isn't funny? Not for Donald Trump. Not for anyone. Not at all. https://t.co/gSQKhBSOtZ\u201d— Barbara Boxer (@Barbara Boxer) 1505747696
\u201cMelania should check out the retweet of her husband smashing Hillary with a golfball. It's time for the First Lady's antibullying project.\u201d— Barbara Boxer (@Barbara Boxer) 1505778053
Former Vice President Joe Biden, a longtime advocate of women's issues, shared the senators' sentiment.
\u201cJust had the chance to see President Trump's golf swing tweet. Enough. This has to stop. Our children are watching.\u201d— Joe Biden (@Joe Biden) 1505781330
