Washington: Most Democratic supporters have failed to accept Trump victory over Hillary Clinton, protesting the results with various slogans, the most popular being ‘love trumps hate’, but one set of protestors set the social media on fire with a vitriolic message against the next first lady: Rape Melania.
The picture from the protest outside the President-elect’s hotel in Washington D.C. on Sunday night caught the attention of the Twitter users when the "offensive" phrase against US President-elect Donald Trump's wife Melania started trending on the social media platform on Sunday night.
While several Twitter users condemned the protesters, the social media giant was also slammed for letting ‘offensive’ ‘Rape Melania’ phrase trend.
According to a report in The Washington Post, Twitter said that the phrase was trending because users denounced it, not because they supported sexual assault.
Below are a few tweets where people condemned the Hillary Clinton supporters protesting against Trump’s victory in the US presidential election.
Rioters outside of Trump Tower in NY are protesting to protect women's rights by holding up signs that say Rape Melania. Morons or Scumbags?

Calling for rape of woman because you hate her husband. Tell me again how our election set feminism back 50 years but that doesn't? #Melania pic.twitter.com/jwf7YfupCz

The fact that #rapemelania is trending on twitter makes liberals and Hillary supporters look demented, hypocritical, & cruel. Inexcusable.

Liberals think Trump is bad for women so they respond by going in front of Trump tower and calling for Melania's rape. #MakesSense

Wow, liberals have truly sunk to a new low. The hashtag #RapeMelania was trending on twitter this morning. We won but they still slander.
