The tragic death of Otto Warmbier, the former prisoner of North Korea returned to the U.S. in a coma, sparked a lot of awfulness on Twitter.

Millions of Americans speak out and protest against unjust police killings. North Koreans who speak out are put in torture camps. Fuck off. https://t.co/qiMh1ABm2z

If the regime in Pyongyang is willing to do that to an American citizen just imagine what they do to their own.

Simply perfect

I would be convicted of hate speech crimes so fast in the U.K. Thank you, God, for allowing me to grow up in America.

The DNC spent the last few months throwing their full weight behind the special election in Georgia 6 for a single seat. They proclaimed it was an incredibly important election & would be a "referendum on Trump." But tens of millions of dollars, ringing celebrity endorsements, and all the publicity in the world couldn't bring home the trophy. Cue the narrative switch! 

These are fun. pic.twitter.com/sV1gTx1mmv

Is was supposed to be easy for Republicans? The R President has a what, 35% approval rating? □□ https://t.co/0VCaRYVDAc

Employing Democratic national machine, celebrity campaigning, & outspending the R by $19 million? Tell me more, Dems!!!

It's like when you don't win, you still win, so the winner is the real loser. https://t.co/qyC233NCVu

If only there were some common thread causing Democrats to lose all these flyover elections. □

Like every other normal, I'm pleased that Handel won #GA06. But the best bit is that it proves once again how stupid leftists are. $31M? LOL

— LunaticRex (@LunaticRex) June 22, 2017

Tbh I'm a little disappointed Ossoff won't lose by just the one vote he wasn't able to cast.

— Kayla (@VixenRogue) June 21, 2017

The worst part for Ossoff will definitely be that long drive home. Always tough after a road loss. #GA06

Of course, we can't keep our mouths shut and covered a lot more topics than just those above, here's a sampling of those!

Call me old fashioned, but it seems pretty bass ackwards that many people view taking a higher % of people's own money as innately moral.

So, you're saying Bernie "I own three houses and was kicked out of a commune for slacking" might be a fraud? No. Way. https://t.co/hvEHqyQ3fe

To counter the Republicans' health plan, the Democrat Party today rolled out rising stars Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.

Still waiting on @NRA Philando Castile response.

The man did everything a responsible gun owner is supposed to do and still ended up dead.

No, Dems want people to agree that the federal government should care for everyone and force people to prioritize kindness. https://t.co/oqipHOosFT

Conservatives come in all races, creeds, colors, orientations...difference is, we don't use that as a weapon of division like liberals do. https://t.co/juJBLnwLxS
