The internet was collectively outraged on Wednesday, August 19, when Mike Pompeo, the U.S. Secretary of State, tweeted a GIF of Lisa Simpson crying and tearing papers, seemingly in response to a Democratic National Convention segment on domestic violence.
The video, which focused on Joe Biden's role in crafting the Violence Against Women's Act, featured many survivors of domestic violence endorsing the Democratic Presidential candidate.
Pompeo seemed to be mocking these survivors with his tweet.

Mike Pompeo has made it clear how he feels about survivors of domestic abuse.
It would seem in his opinion, they need to stop whining and roll over so he and his boss can stay in power.
