Claudia Tenney Embraces and Shares Astonishingly Offensive Comments

In her latest move to embrace extreme, incorrect and offensive comments, Claudia Tenney today, in the middle of the night, shared the comments of a right-wing twitter troll who claims that the President of the United States is “a senile old man that molests little children and makes out with his granddaughter.”

In the same tweet, the poster went on to say that the late Senator John McCain, a decorated veteran and prisoner of war, was “HIGHLY overrated.”

All of these comments, directed toward another twitter user that had engaged Tenney, were then shared by the congresswoman, who embraced them while name-calling the user who had responded to her.

 

 

After a CNN reporter noted her tweet, she again responded with a nonsensical comment about “Blue Anon” while ignoring the deeply offensive and untrue statements she

decided to disseminate as a Member of Congress.

 

“Claudia Tenney using her public platform to spread extremist statements and misinformation in the middle of the night further proves why she has no business serving in Congress,” said DCCC spokesperson Abel Iraola. “If she wants to spend her time sharing offensive and false tweets from twitter trolls, she should leave representing her district to someone better suited for it.”
