Ugh.
If we never hear or see this stupid, offensive phrase again, it’ll be too soon.
But now Donald Trump‘s awful words are on a t-shirt and it’s actually sold out! America, you’re doing it wrong.

The Spencer’s Gifts tee includes the following description:
“He’s done it again. The Donald grabbed America by the pu$$y this election, now you can too with this hilarious political tee! This laugh out loud Spencer’s exclusive shirt is perfect for reminding everyone that Trump’s in charge.”
Barf.
The shirt is currently not anywhere on the site, but there are plenty of other pro-Donald tees available.
People have been calling it out ever since it was tweeted out by Mary Numair, prompting it to go viral. Critics of the top have been saying it normalizes sexual assault and equates it to patriotism.

Sexual assault is not patriotism, @Spencers. It’s not a joke or a slogan. For too many, it’s a lived experience of violation & violence. https://t.co/fn6m8yErqi

This tee shouldn’t have made it past the pitch room, @Spencers. Not a matter of being offended; it’s elevating sex assault as patriotism. pic.twitter.com/0mtgkNgR2a

Apparently @Spencers is pro-sexual assault, which is a curious thing to be, really. But I guess if you can make a buck off of it. https://t.co/fpoN3H6f8Q

Like, this isn’t a joke, @Spencers: https://t.co/cXwpvJY3zT. This happens in real life to real people.

What the actual fuck, @Spencers. You’ve always been low-class, but this is a spectacular new low. https://t.co/aKIigZjuMn

For its part, Spencer’s tweeted the following:
@smilesand_We consider many items as adult in nature, and due to this, our store’s management teams use discretion on that basis.

This unfortunate phrase is crude, disgusting, and not at all funny. It should not be on a t-shirt or anywhere.
We hope Spencer’s comes to its sense and pulls it off the shelf for good.
