#ImWithHyena: TBS Deletes Hilarious Tweet Comparing Hillary to Hyenas
2016-07-26
Cable TV network TBS was forced to delete a funny tweet yesterday comparing presumptive Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton to a pack of laughing hyenas.

The comedy network conceded to deleting the tweet, which showed clips of the former secretary of state's trademark cackle spliced with footage of hyenas, after leftists on Twitter were butthurt offended.

"Move over Donkey! There's a new mascot in town," the tweet's text read, crediting @thehecklertbs, and using the hashtags: #ImWithHyena and #DNCinPHL.

"This post was obviously a poor attempt at humor and has been taken down," the network apologetically wrote. "Moving forward we'll leave political satire to professionals like Samantha Bee."
Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark.
A couple of Twitter users called out the network's hypocrisy.

#3  As I said in a previous comment:

...... have good hearing and sharp eyesight at night. They are fast and can run for long distances without tiring. They can work together or in packs effectively to isolate a herd animal, sometimes one that is ill or infirm, and pursue it to the death. The victors often squabble over the spoils, either among themselves or with other powerful animals like lions. Traits also found among the Crocuta crocuta or Spotted Hyena.

#2  ooof, Samantha Bee.
If she isn't a deep-mole parody of leftist thought, she is a Franken-Silverman gene cross gone haywire.
