HEEL TO PAY: DON GETS ONLINE SLAM
PRESIDENT Trump’s elementary school teachers have some explaining to do. Trump wrote “heel” instead of “heal” in back-to-back tweets Saturday that generated waves of online ridicule.
“Our great country has been divided for decade, but it will come together again. Sometimes protest is needed in order to heel, and heel we will!” Trump wrote in the first tweet, referring to demonstrations in Boston. But the University of Pennsylvania grad quickly deleted the post and replaced it with, “Our great country has been divided for decades. Somtimes you need protest in order to heel, & we will heel, & be stronger than ever before!” Then Trump got rid of that one, but used “heal” instead of “heel.”
Many of his critics were quick to pounce on the embarrassing typos. “Thurd times’ the charn!” comedian Billy Eichner responded in a mockingly misspelled tweet. A WHITE supremacist blogger says drugs and booze were behind a vile tweet about the woman murdered at a Charlottesville, Va., protest last week.
Blogger Jason Kessler was slammed by Richard Spencer and other members of the far right for the nasty online diatribe.
“Heather Heyer was a fat, disgusting Communist,” Kessler, who organized the Unite the Right rally, tweeted. “Communists have killed 94 million. Looks like it was payback time.”
The account also included a link to the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, which resurfaced with a new domain after it was booted off GoDaddy and Google, among others.
Kessler attempted to walk back his words Saturday, saying he is stressed out from the death threats he’s received in the wake of the deadly rally.
“I’m taking Ambien, Xanax, and I had been drinking last night,” Kessler wrote before deleting his Twitter account.
“I sometimes wake up having done strange things I don't remember.”
