Oklahoma lawmaker doesn’t want Internet trolls tweeting about her butt….

One by-product of the Trump presidency is that we're going to see more politicians copy his controversial communication tactics. They're going to be direct. They're going to be confrontational. And they're not going to take shit from anyone.

Case in point, meet Oklahoma lawmaker Tess Teague. She's the new mimosa-sipping State Representative for House District 101. Yesterday, she confronted a parody Twitter account that apparently made a wisecrack about her butt:

Before we continue, I want to be very clear – we had nothing to do with this. We stopped creating parody Twitter accounts when they stopped being funny way back in 2010.

Anyway, I agree with Tess Teague 100%. You should never anonymously tweet about a sitting female legislator's butt. You should only do that when they are standing and everyone can see it.
