In a lighthearted tweet posted on Thursday, Republican Senator Ben Sasse relayed the funny message he’d just gotten from his wife after the family dog Teddy went to the vet to have his...er..."little teddies" removed.
Text from my daughters:

"Be quiet when u get home tonight. Teddy [dog #3] had his nuts chopped off today & we don't want him jumping around"
Of course, rather than simply laughing at Sasse’s humorous personal moment, left-wing Twitter just couldn’t let neutered dogs lie, and instead hijacked the Nebraska senator’s tweet to blast the GOP’s new health care bill.
Hm. Reminds me of your sackless ability to only stand up to Trump on twitter

Funny the Republican Senate caucus has also had their nuts cut off by President Bannon

Is this supposed to be a metaphor for the GOP?

OK. So hey, Mr. Chuckles McGoodvibes, why are you going to make it so that your dog can see the doctor but I can't?

Hey your dog has health care unlike the millions you want to screw over!

One guy saw the tweet as a chance to take a swing at President Trump...

...while another person took a jab at the senator’s pro-life stance.
Glad that Teddy had the freedom to make that choice

At least one user had the decency to call out those addicted to over-politicizing everything.
Im worried about hc & my autistic son, too.

But cant he just be a person & not get caustic comments at every turn. Please?
It's worth noting that none of these tweets conveyed sympathy for poor Teddy -- who, let's be honest, was the real victim here. But if the left can’t even laugh at a simple tweet like this without getting their panties all twisted, maybe the partisan hatred has gone just a little too far.
