We’ve had to listen to some pretty nasty, and ridiculous, remarks spewing from Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s mouth over the last year.
Now, Trump is saying that he is such a great ally to the LGBT community in the wake of the horrific massacre at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. He even said, “Ask the gays.” First, if you say “the gays,” you are not an ally.
This is what he said:
“For the gays out there—ask the gays and ask the people—ask the gays what they think and what they do in, not only Saudi Arabia, in many of these countries, with the gay community, just ask, and then you tell me—who’s your friend, Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton?”
The remark sparked the hashtag, #AskTheGays, and brought out some of the most creative people on the internet.
I present to you the top 12 of the best Twitter GIF reactions to this remark. Twitter GIF parties are always fun:
1. From the Golden Girls
Someone brought Rue McClanahan from the dead to take down Donald Trump, and I’m sure she would not have approved:

If you still can’t believe The Donald actually used the phrase, “Ask the gays,” listen to him say it during his full speech from the Atlanta, Georgia, rally.
He says it around the 52-minute mark:
