As we told you earlier, McDonald’s is saying its Twitter account was “compromised” when somehow a tweet was posted that called President Trump “disgusting” with “tiny hands,” but what’s Business Insider editor Josh Barro’s excuse?

Barro was quickly called out by the Guardian’s Chris Arnade, who has been chronicling poverty in America for years and is a defender of McDonald’s:

Arnade went on to criticize all the “front-row kids” and their belief that they’re smarter and have better taste than everyone else:

Others jumped on Barro as well:
I don't understand why some people think media elites harbor contempt for the working class and the poor. https://t.co/Kd9ASdqUEk

This is so condescending, but it's how many in the media think of Trump supporters so it's not surprising. https://t.co/5BsvOB3S7w

McDonald's is literally only safe/cheap place for seniors, working class to gather in MANY communities. Shut up. https://t.co/ZK5AHCZwc7
