For weeks, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump has been touting his youge! fanbase with Mexicans, women, a slew of other minorities often times alienating them with the same breath. On Wednesday, he added the gays to his list.
On a campaign stop in Atlanta, Trump attempted to frame this past weekends horrific shooting in Orlando as a reason for banning Muslims and other immigrants from entering the country, yet at some point in his remarks, he attempted to argue that he was a stronger ally of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people than Hillary Clinton.
The LGBT community, the gay community, the lesbian community they are so much in favor of what Ive been saying over the last three or four days, Trump said. Ask the gays what they think and what they do, in, not only Saudi Arabia, but many of these countries, and then you tell me whos your friend, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?
Almost immediately, the Twitterverse jumped on the phrase ask the gays and turned it into a viral hashtag, with the LGBT community responding with unequivocal sass, in the form of animated GIFs and video clips.
