Today, #GOPSensitivityTips trended on Twitter, as progressive users joked about Republican “sensitivity training” for women’s issues.
It’s no secret that Barack Obama in part nailed 2012 due to an issue within the Republican party on female outreach — hence the #GOPSensitivityTips hashtag today.
Comedian Bill Maher joked at the time that female voters sent a message to the GOP of “get off of me,” and the humorous trend today was generally in the same sort of vein. Here are some highlights:
