Not Surprisingly, #ImpeachTheMF Is Trending On Twitter Today
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s announcement of a formal impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump on Tuesday not only set into motion his potential removal from office, it also inspired a slightly off-color hashtag.
By the afternoon, #impeachthemf was a trending term on Twitter. For those living under rocks, “MF” is shorthand for “mother fucker,” and is generally not considered a positive term.
Twitter users reacted in all sorts of memish ways.
Some were surprised it was actually happening.
