Shortly after Minnesota Senator Al Franken (D) resigned on Thursday, Donald Trump Jr. thought it would be a great idea to go celebrate on Twitter (just like his daddy) and engage in some completely unnecessary celebrating:
…because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and God-darnit people like me. #Franken

Instead of recognizing that Senator Franken had done something noble and honorable, Trump decided to make a joke out of a somber moment and celebrate.
And of course, he completely missed the irony of him even daring to comment on sexual harassment or sexual assault in the first place. His father, accused of groping women, kissing them against their will, and even, as he bragged to Access Hollywood, grabbing them “by the pussy.”
What Trump Jr. also didn’t anticipate is the social media reaction he got for his flippant remark:

Good one. Enjoy prison.

Saving this tweet so I can look at it when your ass is in prison. Have a nice day.

It's funny because no one has legitimately liked you your entire life.

Well, he’s three up on you, then.

Franken: "I aware of the irony that I am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the Oval Office and a man who has preyed on underage girls is running for the Senate with the full support of his party"

How many times do I have to tell you that you're too dumb to post any public messages?

Sadly that does not apply to you or anyone in your immediate family. Mock if you will, for what Sen. Franken did, but at least he had the balls to admit what he did wrong, own up to it, and resign. Maybe your father can learn a thing or two from him.

Let's play a guessing game!
Rhymes with "truck blue"…

With the hypocrite still in the White House, we’ve seen it all.
