Here are the Funniest Reactions to Donald Trump Jr's Skittles Tweet

Welp, this election year wouldn't be complete without Skittles somehow getting involved, right? Yesterday Donald Trump Jr. tweeted the following image in order to bolster an argument about America's refugee program.

This image says it all. Let's end the politically correct agenda that doesn't put America first. #trump2016 http://pic.twitter.com/9fHwog7ssN

Not surprisingly, the tweet is being met with both vehement support and disapproval. While Skittles certainly wishes it could be excluded entirely from this narrative, it's parent company Wrigley Americas offered this statement in response:

So. Now that you're all up to speed, here's what some of the funny folk are saying about the whole ordeal.

"Yes, that's correct. I put my Skittles in a bowl. I use a spoon & eat them like cereal. YES I use RC Cola for the 'milk.' Next question."

Remember when Jesus was like, "ugh I really want to help you guys, but your brown skin makes me assume some of you are murderers. Skittles."

Even harder question: If I had a bowl of M&Ms and I told you just three were skittles. Would you take a handful? http://pic.twitter.com/1VCcI5wxyg

If five Skittles leave Cincinnati at 4 pm going 60 mph and 11 Skittles leave Philadelphia at 5 pm at 70 mph, which Skittle is a terrorist

It's the age old saying:
When life gives you skittles, use them to incite racial hatred and oversimplify a humanitarian crisis.

The fact that we are waiting for @skittles to respond to a presidential candidate's son is one of the least weird things about this election
