Well, aside from a toxic combination of privilege and obliviousness, they all got their asses handed to them on Twitter this weekend. And each instance was glorious.
First up, while the world mourned the death of Muhammad Ali, feminism-discerner Piers Morgan followed a string of tweets praising the legendary athlete with a bizarre subtweet.
I hope people don't make me sound too perfect when I die.

No coats of sugar please.
Twitter was quick to soothe him.
@piersmorgan Don't think you need to worry about that. You're an asswaffle.

Meanwhile, Canadian comedian Dave Foley—who you might know best from The Kids in the Hall or NewsRadio—started a Troll War with Trump supporters with this tweet:
I don't think all @realDonaldTrump supporters are stupid but if you support Trump & you're not stupid you should be ashamed.
— Dave Foley (@DaveSFoley) June 3, 2016
As you might imagine, enraged racists and idiots rushed to defend their putrid candidate. It didn’t go great for them.
@JWMartinGoNoles @realDonaldTrump I believe you have no cause for shame.
— Dave Foley (@DaveSFoley) June 3, 2016
.@PikesvilleAL Nothing you need to worry about Al.
— Dave Foley (@DaveSFoley) June 3, 2016
@Angrydad273 Well, you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Lastly, stand-up Moshe Kasher alerted us to the regrettable wardrobe equivalent of “I have a black friend.” And while he engaged with those who defended the terrible T, he only needed one tweet to shame its existence.

In case you were wondering, this is an actual thing that exists.
Kristy Puchko can’t even sometimes.
