Aside from the fireworks inside the debate hall at Sunday’s second presidential debate, one campaign controversy that bubbled up that CBS and NBC refused to acknowledge in their post-debate analysis was a tweet from a Hillary Clinton campaign aide telling Donald Trump to “go fuck [himself]” regarding his treatment of the Khan family.

Clinton campaign foreign policy aide Jesse Lehrich dropped a tweet during the debate on his personal account stating the following: “hey @realDonaldTrump — regarding your claim that Captain Khan would be alive if you were president: go fuck yourself. #debate.”
