Claudia Tenney, Republican Representative for New York's District 22, retweeted a crude photoshopped meme mocking the attack on Paul Pelosi, and most of Twitter is calling her out for it—including California's Representative Eric Swalwell.

Tenney shared a photo of a house that was recently investigated by the FBI in their investigation into the attack on Paul Pelosi, over which someone had photoshopped several men holding giant hammers.

Tenney's caption:

"LOL"

@claudiatenney/Twitter

Nancy Pelosi's 82-year-old husband Paul was attacked with a hammer and suffered a skull fracture severe enough to require surgical repair. He is expected to make a full recovery, but remains hospitalized.

California Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell apparently wasn't willing to tolerate this level of cruelty from a colleague, and called Tenney out on Twitter.

"The husband of one of your colleagues is being treated in an ICU right now and this is your response? To mock his attack? When you were raising your son, did you ever tell him to laugh at the pain of others? Or did you teach him better? This is disgusting. Delete it."

Yes, 4 days after the tweet was posted, it is still live.

Although, as Aaron Rupar notes, she did disable the replies.

Many joined Swalwell in their scorn for Tenney's tweet.


Representative Swalwell was far from the only Twitter user taking Tenney to task for her gross lack of empathy.







Those calling Tenney out include her NY-24 Democratic challenger Steven Holden.

It remains to be seen whether this example of Tenney's cruelty will affect voters next Tuesday.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
