Boy Who Wore Hillary Clinton Costume for Halloween Attacked by Trump Trolls and Homophobes

November 1, 2016 by Andy Towle Leave a Comment

An 8-year-old  Brooklyn boy who dressed as Hillary Clinton for Halloween (predictably) became the target of Trump trolls and homophobes after his mom posted a photo of the brilliant costume on social media.

His mom explained how the costume came about: “The Backstory: Our 5 yo daughter had no costume. We said: How about HRC? Daughter: Nope. Son: Well someone’s gotta be Hillary!”

There were plenty of cheers (as there should be!)

That is some genuinely marvelous parenting! Feeling excellent about the future for a whole lotta reasons.

But of course the Trump trolls and the homophobes came out in force:
