People have been reacting to the election of Donald Trump in some unusual ways. Of course there were the riots, but unfortunately, those hardly count as unusual anymore. Women in particular have been taking the election results badly, and as New York magazine reported, they’ve even been hitting the salon to have their hair cut and dyed as a political statement.
George Washington University teaching instructor Dr. Kristian Henderson was one of the women featured in that piece, explaining that Trump’s election “felt like an attack on minorities, women, and marginalized people in general,” inspiring her to cut off her long hair, which was her “attempt to fit into society.”
Henderson appeared on Fox News with Tucker Carlson Wednesday evening, giving the world a look at her new ‘do that was only hinted at in print, and it looks … nice. Is it OK to say that?

@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews young lady was very charming and personable but who gives a rat's behind whether she wears her hair long or short??

It’s a good thing she explained the symbolism, because it’s a certainty that a lot of people missed it.
@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews Uhh – whatever. I think it looks a whole lot better short, though…

@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews She is MUCH cuter with short hair.

@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews I like her new hairdo!
— Mary Rose Moskowitz (@veritasjc) December 15, 2016
@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews don't necessarily agree with her politics, but I liked her. And she looks better with short hair.

@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews wow she looks better! Trump did her a solid!!

So, if someone compliments your hairdo that was meant to be a political statement, is that a bad thing? A hate misdemeanor? This is confusing. What are Trump supporters supposed to do?
@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews Does that mean we grow our hair out?

@RepStevenSmith @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews That's not a good option for some of us

@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews What is wrong with these kooks. You know how I protested Obama's election, I got up and went to work the next day.
— Enraged Corrupt Liar (@KuntEnraged) December 15, 2016
@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews I put my pants on one leg at a time and went to work every day for 8 years of Obama. I'll do the same with Trump.
— Clarence Voyance (@SettlesSean) December 15, 2016

@SGTMAJ05 @TuckerCarlson @FoxNews People shave their heads to Support Cancer Victims…That's Fearless!
— Gigi Ann (@thematrixqueen) December 15, 2016
@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews Being truly brave would have been shaving her head! Many do it in solidarity of those fighting #CANCER #Marshmellow

@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews Study Iwo Jima, Omaha Beach, and then tell me a stupid hair cut means you live fearless. #DelusionalLeft
— Gustav Vader (@GustavVader1) December 15, 2016
@FoxNews So? @TuckerCarlson She was fearful to cut hair when Liberals were in charge? Now she's fearless b/c Republicans in charge. ??
— Liberty Lady (@Libertylady64) December 15, 2016
@tuckercarlson @foxnews The only people who are “fearful” are the left-wingers.
Ironically, she cut her hair because she’s fearful.
— Rainbow Warrior (@RainbowSWAT) December 15, 2016
@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews she's right, a lot of people voted out of fear of getting another Obama term in HiLIARy Clinton. We wanted success!!
— Serg Valens (@ValensSerg) December 15, 2016
@TuckerCarlson @FoxNews Whatever happened to accepting elect. results and moving on? Safety pins, crayons, puppies, now hair cutting? OMG???
— Terri Adams (@TerriAd68836249) December 15, 2016
