8-Year-Old Went as Hillary for Halloween & the Internet Went Crazy

On Halloween, two moms shared a picture of their son dressed as Hillary — and can we say, he killed it.

He sported a bright yellow coat, briefcase, Hillary logos, and clip-on earrings as he went out trick-or-treating in Brooklyn. His two moms shared his costume on Twitter and the post went viral with 3.9K retweets and 15K likes.

Unfortunately, his costume brought out the bigots and homophobes. Some accused the moms of child abuse and turning their son gay. One said, “This is why gays shouldn’t be allowed to adopt.” Other comments focused on bashing Hillary.

Despite the hateful messages, the moms look right past them to the positive messages:

@DebbersGar you’re an amazing mom with an amazing kid <3

@DebbersGar: What a fantastic reminder to us all that this election 100% impacts our children and how they see themselves. 🙏🏽

@DebbersGar @HillaryClinton you are the best, your son is the best, and don’t listen to the hateful no-brain idiots. You are both AMAZING.💞

Like the last tweet says — don’t listen to the hateful, no brain idiots. This costume slays!
