That @Fox2News story was way out of line.
I’m tough, I can take it.
In my speech I was encouraging people to see the humanity in one another in this cruel political environment. In an era when so many women are stepping up to lead, I’m hoping people will focus on our ideas and accomplishments instead of our appearance.

Until then, I’ve got a message for all of the women and girls like mine who have to deal with garbage like this every day: I’ve got your back.

I will not be commenting on this any further. I genuinely tried to reveal the nasty trolls bashing @gretchenwhitmer, & now I'm being attacked as a person. Sad. Offer stands to speak with her. Why aren't we calling out the people who wrote the nasty comments in the first place? ??♀️ pic.twitter.com/TWBKNElvBW
