"No billionaire has ever worked harder than anyone that cleans toilets for a living."

He added a followup tweet indicating that the term "work" was subjective.


The responses were overwhelming and many of them put things into perspective.

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
