Donald Trump Jr. said a Chelsea Handler tweet about Eric and Lara Trump’s pregnancy exposed the “liberal elite’s real hatred.”
President Trump's son Eric and his wife Lara recently announced they are expecting their first child, reports Fox News.
The news prompted Chelsea Handler, a comedian and very vocal Trump critic, to tweet, “I guess one of @realDonaldTrump's sons is expecting a new baby. Just what we need. Another person with those jeans. Let's hope for a girl.”
Donald Trump Jr., Eric’s brother, was quick to respond.
He tweeted back, “The liberal elite's real hatred is hopefully starting to be apparent to mainstream America (both right and left). Their whole 'party of tolerance' nonsense only applies if you fully buy into their dogma...Attacking the announcement of someone's first pregnancy would seem below the belt to most, but sadly that's not the case."
Donald Jr. also pointed out Handler’s use of j-e-a-n-s instead of g-e-n-e-s, and commented, “So much for the party of science."
Handler kept her reply brief, writing, “Sorry about spelling mistake…I'm a little stoned. What's your excuse?”
Many Twitter users didn't respond positively to her attempt at humor and criticized her for the first tweet.
One person remarked, "...keeping it classy as usual Chelsea making fun of an unborn baby."
Another said, "Maybe you need to get some therapy for your obsession with the Trump family."
