As families and schoolchildren hunkered down in storm shelters to avoid a massive tornado today near Oklahoma City, a liberal “comedian” found time to use the disaster to attack conservatives.
The subtext of a tweet from “Daily Show” co-creator Lizz Winstead was clearly meant to insult the pro-life and family values people who live in the state of Oklahoma, one of the most Republican-oriented states in the nation.
This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives.

At a time when “PrayforOklahoma is the highest trending topic on Twitter, conservatives noted Winstead’s lack of class.

.@sarahbellumd Mocking tornado victims is less offensive to me than @lizzwinstead‘s lack of humor. I mean, at least be a FUNNY shitheel. — Lachlan Markay (@lachlan) May 20, 2013
This is the same Winstead who attacked Michele Bachmann on abortion and raises funds for Planned Parenthood.
UPDATE: Winstead tweeted an apology at approximately 7:00 p.m. ET.
Made a political joke, Twas before devastation revealed. In hindsight, had I understood, I would have refrained. Beyond sorry. #LetMeHaveIt
