First it was employees and job seekers, and now it looks like even members of Canada’s Parliament can’t resist saying really stupid things online.
Michelle Simson of the country’s Liberal party was annoyed with the behavior of Dean Del Mastro (a Conservative) during a committee meeting.
In response, she took the not-so-savvy political move of complaining on Twitter — insulting Del Mastro as well, all while staying well under the site’s 140-character limit.
She wrote: “Del Mastro should grow up (not out).” Del Mastro, as Reuters notes, is not a slim man.
Simson apologized, but only after Del Mastro stood up in front of Parliament and demanded she say she was sorry.
