If you haven’t already this morning, be sure and take a digital stroll over to Twitter and check out what topics and phrases are trending.
As of 9:00 a.m., one of those trending hashtags is #OrangeTurd.
Where did that phrase come from? It was brought out during cross-examination of Stormy Daniels on Thursday, and the person who used it first was none other than one of former president Donald Trump’s attorneys.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell had a field day with the fact that “orange turd” was now part of the court transcript in Trump’s ongoing hush money and election interference case in Manhattan, HuffPost reports.
One of Trump’s defense attorneys in the hush money trial, Susan Necheles, was questioning porn star Stormy Daniels, a key witness, when she pulled up a tweet where Daniels once called Trump an “orange turd.”
“Susan Necheles brought the orange turd into the courtroom and kept it there. The questioning about the orange turd went on and on,” O’Donnell told viewers before reading from the court transcript.
O’Donnell added, “Imagine Donald Trump, sitting in that courtroom today … being forced to listen, with eyes closed or eyes open, to one of his criminal defense lawyers, on whom he has lavished money — money provided by his political contributors — listen to her repeatedly call him, ‘the orange turd.'”
Here’s some of the remarks from other Twitter users on the subject of the #OrangeTurd:
