'It’s this thing called a JOKE': Kat Timpf takes hilarious jab at Kirsten Gillibrand and her Comms Director just can't DEAL

Admit it. When you read Kat Timpf’s tweet about Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand you can actually see this happening.

Any moment now, @SenGillibrand is going to swing down on a flying trapeze in a pink pantsuit shouting “I’M A MOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!”

And then she’ll take her jacket off to show her gay pride t-shirt before yelling ‘GAY RIGHTS’ and spinning in circles.

No?

Guess she only does that in a bar, our bad.

Seems Meredith Kelly, Gillibrand’s Communications Director, didn’t find Kat’s tweet quite as amusing as the rest of us.

what's your point? https://t.co/nCIuByEs9S

Well, there really wasn’t a point … pretty sure she doesn’t really think Gillibrand was going to drop down from the ceiling.

Kat herself responded.

Hi, Communications Director for @SenGillibrand! Happy to explain. It’s actually this thing called a “joke.” https://t.co/lRjcuOKkJA

A joke.

And the point of a joke is to laugh which is probably why Meredith missed it.

Yes, I'm sure this was a joke rooted in respect. Let me know when you're a mom running for president. https://t.co/PoMcbwbFqe

SHE SURE SHOWED KAT.

Oh, wait.

Jokes aren’t meant to be respectful. They’re generally geared toward people who can recognize and process humor. It’s not for you so don’t worry about it. If you hear one, just ignore.

What has Gillibrand done to earn respect? Was it when she was doing shots for bucks or was it her totally spontaneous cooking with an apron that still had the creases from the bag and a giant fish way too big for her pan?
