“House Judiciary Committee Republicans drew ire on Monday night after they fired off a gloating tweet following the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. The GOP-run account mockingly wished Democratic 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton a happy birthday with the news. Clinton turned 73 on Monday. Amy Coney Barrett, confirmed. Happy Birthday, @HillaryClinton!— House Judiciary GOP (@JudiciaryGOP) Oktober 27, 2020 Clinton did not respond directly to the committee’s post. In plaas daarvan, she criticized Senate Republicans for pushing through a justice “who will help them take away Americans’ health care in the middle of a pandemic.” “For them, this is victory,” het sy bygevoeg. “Vote them out.” Senate Republicans just pushed through a Supreme Court justice who will help them take away Americans’ health care in the middle of a pandemic. For them, this is victory. Vote them out.— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) Oktober 27, 2020 But hundreds of Twitter users were appalled by the post from the committee, whose ranking member is Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). You are hideous people. Hijackers of justice. Genocidal dictator apologists. Faux leaders who turn the other cheek to bounties on our soldiers. I hope your pearl-wearing agent of the patriarchy was worth it when you all lose your jobs.— Sophia Bush (@SophiaBush) Oktober 27, 2020 Did someone hack this account?— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) Oktober 27, 2020 You are fine examples for our children— Andy Cohen (@Andy) Oktober 27, 2020 All this focus on Clinton has me concerned she won’t win the 2020 verkiesing. Smart of the GOP to troll her childishly about the new justice in a stolen seat who’s going to take our health insurance away during a deadly pandemic. It’s almost as good as their 2018 election strategy. https://t.co/5h8rM2Mtq9— Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) Oktober 27, 2020 Did you see this tweet from the Republicans tonight?I’ve been telling you for FOUR YEARS now.A large percentage of these people are F SCUMBAGS.VOTETHEMOUTDONATEMOREMONEYNOWVOLUNTEER. https://t.co/MsqCpG12jI— Don Winslow (@donwinslow) Oktober 27, 2020 Tape this to your bathroom mirror. Let it rage inspire you to fight for every vote, every seat, every woman. https://t.co/OtBHjESd28— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) Oktober 27, 2020 You reap what you sow.— Katie Phang (@KatiePhang) Oktober 27, 2020 Imagine an entire political party having the emotional intelligence of a petty six year old who didn’t get invited to a birthday party — oh, wait, I didn’t have to imagine.— Amanda Webster (@AmandaWebsterCT) Oktober 27, 2020 Very cold @JudiciaryGOP. May you toil away in the away in the minority for decades to come. https://t.co/ECHUamgkyE— Michael McFaul (@McFaul) Oktober 27, 2020 230,000+ Americans are dead and millions more are sick or have lost their jobs. Yet \”owning the libs\” is the GOP’s top priority. https://t.co/AjDZuhhj0J— African American Policy Forum (@AAPolicyForum) Oktober 27, 2020 The GOP has gone full Trump. They LOVE nothing more than to cheat the system and shit talk afterward. https://t.co/TytjeOZa9m— Colin Hanks (@ColinHanks) Oktober 27, 2020 THEY ARE GLOATING. Giddy that they pulled off the Heist of the Century. VOTE THEM OUT.EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.#VoteBlueDownTheBallot #VoteEarly #FlipTheSenate https://t.co/WsI6EqrMKq— Debra Messing✍🏻 (@DebraMessing) Oktober 27, 2020 Never underestimate their capacity for petty hatred https://t.co/j3DAjmboT1— Greg Jericho (@GrogsGamut) Oktober 27, 2020 As someone who was a Republican when it was a principles based party, I am repulsed by its current juvenilism. Why don’t you all grow up?— Steve Metz (@steven_metz) Oktober 27, 2020 What an absolutely bizarre and psychopathic way to “celebrate” the “victory” of getting another right-winger onto the SCOTUS bench. Thanks for reminding millions to VOTE OUT the GOP at all levels of government.— MURRAY🧢🇺🇸 (@murray_nyc) Oktober 27, 2020 I’m screenshotting this and I will absolutely shove it up your asses over and over and over in 2021. You are going to HATE next year.— The Hoarse Whisperer (@TheRealHoarse) Oktober 27, 2020
