White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany gave a personal speech tonight at the Republican National Convention, speaking about how she underwent a double mastectomy and how President Trump and the First Lady were there for her.
Windsor Mann, a senior advisor to the Lincoln Project, found humor in the speech though. In a now deleted tweet, he asked if people should “vote for Trump because McEnany had a mastectomy with Jesus Christ?”

Trump supporter John Cremeans had apparently retweeted the tweet, which now says “unavailable” and called Mann an “intellectual turnip.” He exclaimed, “Kayleigh Mcenany has more courage than you’ll ever show in your worthless little life!”
WINDSOR MANN: Retweet and Share! @WindsorMann is one of the most despicable humans on the planet! He attacked and belittled @kayleighmcenany after her story of fighting cancer and showing incredible courage. He wants you to forget. Don't! Here it is!@USAToday pic.twitter.com/HKDim9kGfC

Full Kayleigh McEnany Speech:
In a tweet that is still active, Mann attempted another witty insult last night, aimed at the First Lady and her RNC speech. “‘You are the backbone of this country,’ Melania Trump says to people who build tennis pavilions,” he tweeted in an attempt to paint her as a spoiled elite.

From Vox Transcript of Melania Trump’s Speech:
More profound and sadly unavoidable examples of our country’s strength and character have appeared in the communities that have been impacted by natural disasters. Hurricanes, tornadoes, and flooding shows the ugly side of mother nature, but they can show us a beautiful side of humanity. My husband and I have visited many places that have been affected by natural disaster and we are deeply moved by the strength of the people who have lost everything. And the kindness of neighbors and communities.
The common thread in all of these challenging situations is the resolve to help one another. I recognize the stories I just told about people who survive extraordinary circumstances, but Donald and I are also inspired by the millions of Americans who wake up each day with a simple yet courageous goal of providing for their families and keeping them safe.
You are the backbone of this country. You’re the people who continue to make the United States of America what it is. And who have the incredible responsibility of preparing future generations to make everything better than when they found it.
Just as you are fighting for your family, my husband, our families, and the people in this administration are here fighting for you. No matter the amount of negative or false media headlines or attacks from the other side, Donald Trump has not and will not lose for you.
