'Smart Enough' Twitter Critics Smack Down Sarah Huckabee Sanders' Insult Over Trump's Taxes

To my friend Rep @SeanCasten, White House @PressSec Sarah Sanders thinks we are too stupid to understand taxes. Maybe she's right because I don't understand why the @GOP tax law increased taxes on middle class families in my district. Can you help me understand? https://t.co/JdkY6mQQyQ

All the President’s men and women seem to share his fear of giving his tax returns to Congress, as the law requires.

Sorry @PressSec— you can go on TV to hurl juvenile insults at the entire United States Congress all you want, the President still has to comply with the law. https://t.co/RT7tieUuiA

Let me remind @PressSec that WE have MA in Political Economy, we are doctors, lawyers, former CIA agents, former Mayors, scientists maybe it’s you who wouldn’t be able to explain? Either way using insulting comments are never a good way to begin this or any conversation https://t.co/LODgzdxxyy

165 members of Congress have law degrees. 8 have master of law degrees. 16 are medical doctors, 6 are scientists, and 5 are accountants.13 have PhD’s.

Meanwhile, Sarah, what’s the name of that crappy little Bible college where you got your undergraduate degree in communications?

I should laugh at this but I’m too devastated from my recent diagnosis of windmill noise cancer.

Maybe Sanders is too obtuse to understand Congress has many staffers who are experts on the tax code -- folks who are probably a lot smarter than Sarah Sanders and Donald Trump and who understand the tax code far better than Trump does.

Deliberately continuing Trumpists campaign to demean any institution/person who might challenge his authoritarian reign.

It is especially provocative as it is a direct slam at our Constution, as slur is aimed at a co-equal branch if government that, um. WRITES TAX LEGISLATION.

Well then she should have no concerns about releasing them.

I'm sure the 600 forensic accountants employed by the FBI could muddle their way through them.

I “love” that we can simultaneously be the BEST county in the world & have a congress that is too stupid to read T’s tax returns. Which one is it, Sarah? Are we exceptional or dumb? These people put together the budget for the entire country but Trump’s return is too hard?

Oh? Were they prepared in Russian?
