Ah, Twitter. An incredible world of insights, jokes, news, viewpoints, and of course, people dunking on each other like crazy.
It’s practically a national past time – and certain a spectator sport – to show off clapbacks on people who maybe should have thought about what they were saying and who they were talking to.
Here are 11 great examples of times people on Twitter got totally slammed.
11. Hell no
Didn’t your dad literally campaign for accused child molester Roy Moore?
Ivanka: “There’s a special place in hell for people who prey on children.”
@POTUS: It’s called the Senate GOP Conference.— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) December 4, 2017
10. Band wagon
I mean, this guy is clearly not such a big fan himself.

8. Extreme
Is getting disrespected at airports just Tony Hawk’s whole life now?
TSA agent (checking my ID): "Hawk, like that skateboarder Tony Hawk!"
Me: exactly
Her: "Cool, I wonder what he's up to these days"
Me: this— Tony Hawk (@tonyhawk) March 21, 2017
7. Marvelous ignorance

His name AND his face are right there, dude.

4. Source?
This just in: that kid came from me.

3. Proper evidence
Self-reflection is important but this is ridiculous.
A man once used a paper as evidence that I was wrong abt a policy proposal & should rethink my analysis. I wrote the paper.

2. Check it
Seriously are people incapable of looking at names on things?
So many “solutions” to the lack of women in tech don’t get at the actual problems http://t.co/02yirpyiBG

@caseyjohnston read the full article. There’s a chicken and egg problem w/ female tech role models. Men want to be the next Jobs/Gates/etc.

@tsancio I wrote the article

1. Absolute Kander
(Jason Kander is very very much a veteran.)
Guessing that you never served your country as a military serviceman?
— Tom Metcalf (@tommet01) September 25, 2017
I guess it just goes to show you probably shouldn’t go running your mouth without thinking twice about it, lest your words forever become a part of Twitter infamy. When in doubt, better to keep your thoughts to yourself.
What’s the best Twitter slam you’ve ever been witness to?
