Rupert Murdoch wonders how 'fat lady' who fell through sidewalk managed to reach 400 pounds

Rupert Murdoch certainly isn’t shy about asking questions, and today’s he’s curious how a 400-pound woman in New York City who fell through a sidewalk managed to get so large.

Ulanda Williams broke her arm in two places in the fall last Friday but told the New York Post that her weight actually saved her from being injured even more seriously. The Post and other news outlets identify Williams as a social worker, making Murdoch’s query about how the “fat lady” gained so much weight on welfare and food stamps even less tactful.

“Anti-bullying activist” Dan Savage was quick to answer Murdoch’s tweet with a similar level of class.

@rupertmurdoch Pull your tongue out of Chris Christie's ass and ask him?

Could someone who reads Savage’s “Savage Love” sex advice column regularly please let us know if that’s intended as an insult?

@rupertmurdoch say man. That's not cool. At all bruh. Really it's not.

Apparently @rupertmurdoch thinks only people on welfare & food stamps could be fat. #smdh

Dear @rupertmurdoch: unless you have personal knowledge of whether or not this woman is obese due to medical reasons, just go away.

Step away from the Twitters “@rupertmurdoch: How did fat lady who fell thru street get to 400 lbs? Welfare, stamps, etc? ”

Before stepping away from the keyboard, Murdoch managed to turn his attention to another matter.

Constitution right about guns for self defence and hunting. Founders did not mean modern weapons of war.

The Constitution is correct about the right to own guns for hunting? Maybe Murdoch should step away from Twitter and ask Piers Morgan if he can borrow that “little book” for review.
