Indiana state senator under fire for 'fat women' post

Indiana Sen. Jack E. Sandlin is facing a social media backlash for a Facebook post that called the masses gathered for last weekend's Women's March "fat women out walking."

Sandlin, a Republican, took down the message but not before screenshots had been widely shared on Facebook and Twitter.

The post appeared Sunday and showed a photo of protesters, many in pink hats and carrying signs, with the words "In one day Trump got more fat women out walking than Michelle Obama did in 8 years." — referencing the former First Lady's campaign against obesity. An estimated 4,500 people in Indianapolis and an estimated 500,000 in Washington, D.C. participated in marches over the weekend.

This is hilarious, especially because it's correct.
They should just ignore the criticism.

Its annoying that we are so thin skinned - you know if you are fat - I'm fat and I think that the comment is a hoot and its probably very true.

Come on people get real

Sen. Sandlin needs to not feed the perception that these marchers are all fat. Just gives them more reason to say they are right. Wait and re-read before you post.
