LGBT Comedians Blast Donald Trump Jr.'s Horrifying Skittles Analogy

When Donald Trump Jr. borrowed from Nazi propaganda to compare refugees to poisoned Skittles candies Monday, the internet rightly called him on it. We turned to Twitter's LGBT users (the most official experts we could find on tasting the rainbow) for their responses, which, as usual, were hilarious and on point.

How can we organize this?

\u201cFeel like people throwing Skittles at Trump is how this is going to end, and not really feeling sad about that.\u201d
— Mark Harris (@Mark Harris) 1474335128

I've never been so scared of candy.

\u201cNext we'll learn that most Tropical Skittles are rapists.\u201d
— Louis Virtel (@Louis Virtel) 1474335413

I don't know if it's really fair to use logic in this debate.

Wait, is that not the same thing?

They don't have some kind of gold candies for you people?

\u201cIf your dad is a billionaire and you still eat Skittles then what's it all about?\u201d

Welp, I'm just gonna go eat a carrot, thank you for the depressing truth.

Taste the irony.
