How the Hell did we get this man as president?

President Trump spent part of his Memorial Day weekend using his Twitter account to promote personal attacks on Democrats, retweeting posts that took aim at former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’s appearance and another that called former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as “HRC the Skank”.

Several of the attacks Trump retweeted on Sunday came from former GOP congressional candidate John K. Stahl ... In one tweet taking a swipe at Abrams’s appearance, later retweeted by Trump, Stahl wrote: “We just got a look at the official portrait for the self proclaimed Governor of Georgia. She fought a tough race, kissed a lot of babies and visited every buffet restaurant in the state. Joe will be a racist if he doesn’t pick her.”

The president also retweeted a post by Stahl that attacked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “Anyone know what’s going on with PolyGrip? I’ve noticed lately that her face seems glossy and she is sporting a poorly marked 2nd set of eyebrows," Stahl tweeted. In a second tweet attacking Pelosi’s appearance that appeared on Trump’s page over the weekend, Stahl took a shot at the Speaker’s teeth, claiming she wore dentures, and wrote that she drank alcohol “on the job.”

This is not the first time Stahl has used sexist language in criticism targeting women on social media. Stahl also once referred to MSNBC host Joy Reid as a “skank” on social media and called Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), another prominent woman of color, as a “ho” ... retweeted by Trump.

The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment (but has not heard back).
