Donald Trump, Jr. lashed out on Twitter Sunday after The Washington Post aired a Super Bowl ad praising journalism, blasting the media’s “leftist BS” and suggesting journalists could save money by reporting the news “for a change.”

Donald Trump Jr. tweeted...

Others pointed out to the president’s son that a history of lies challenges his own family’s credibility.

Junior is the reason tigers eat their young. But I wouldn't wish prison rape on anyone, that's an unintended poor choice of words I'm sure.

That got Jr.'s undies in a bunch. Why? Because it tells the truth that those who give us the facts pay a price in the end to keep us free.

Never has Jr. joined in going to war, exercising our rights, soaring to great heights, nor mourning and praying. And right now, he and his kin are the single, greatest threat to our nation.

Tom Hanks's words found a very raw nerve, so he responded the only way he knows: jumping on Twitter and taking pot-shots from the safety of 1600 PA Avenue or 666 5th Ave.

Not worth even replying to his tweets, he's an asshole who gets off on pissing people off, like an obnoxious teen.

When Don Jr is frog-marched by the US Marshals Service, the photo will run full-bleed on Page A1.

When his even more hideous father is frog-marched, it’ll be a double-truck, and they’ll sell prints suitable for framing.
