President Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., misspelled the name of slain Iowa college student Mollie Tibbetts in a tweet bashing Democrats for their response to her death.
Trump Jr., bashed “moronic politically correct culture” following Tibbetts’s death, misspelling her last name in a hashtag on Thursday.
This is what happens when moronic Politically Correct culture is allowed to rule over common sense and rational thinking. Truly one of the dumbest takes on a terrible tragedy I’ve ever seen. #mollietibbits https://t.co/IkNYWQhmDG

The president’s eldest son was responding to a tweet by CNN contributor Symone Sanders who said Tibbetts’s death was about “toxic masculinity” and not immigration.
“Mollie Tibbetts was murdered b/c she told a man to leave her alone while she was jogging,” Sanders tweeted. “Her murderer happens to be undocumented. This isn’t about border security. This is about toxic masculinity. Mollie Tibbetts lost her life b/c a man couldn’t take her saying no. Full stop.”
Trump Jr. called it “one of the dumbest takes on a terrible tragedy I’ve ever seen.”
Many social media users quickly pointed out his spelling error, including British actor, Tom Payne, who stars in AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”
“Your tweet might be strong if you SPELT HER NAME RIGHT,” Payne commented on Trump Jr.’s tweet before adding “#DonaldGumpJr.”
