I didn't like that either, but put it in context. It's 1 of 17,000 tweets. There aren't many users with that many tweets who haven't lost their cool and called someone else a name. It's one of the most common things you see on twitter. Not excusing it, just saying it's worth looking at in context and importantly it's not something he's repeated.

He double downed on it when a simple apology would have sufficed.
