Twitter users lashed out at conservative provocateur Ann Coulter this week after she suggested that Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore’s alleged sexual abuse of a 14-year-old was like President John F. Kennedy having a consensual affair with a 19-year-old.

In a tweet defending Moore on Sunday, Coulter shared a link that accused Kennedy of “seducing” a 19-year-old intern.

Hey Dems! JFK had an extra marital affair with 19-year old Mimi Alford when he was 45 years old. https://t.co/E5l3ncflDG — Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) November 13, 2017

By Monday morning, the message had been replied to over 11,000 times — and most of the comments shamed Coulter for making the comparison.

You are aware that 19 is very different to 14? Sex with a 14 year old is a criminal offence! — Theon_Orbis (@Theon_Orbis) November 13, 2017

I know that some politicians are old fossils, but I had no idea they'd exhumed JFK's body, propped him up, and stuck him on a ballot for a Senate seat. Oh, and 19 year olds are legal adults. — ChicksDigScars (@Chezhdchick) November 13, 2017

Aw, she tried and FAILED. — Jessica Jurado (@jessj432tx) November 13, 2017

Bizarre that an abhorrent thing that was done in the past is now used as a reason that justifies their present day candidates behavior? Don’t they want a completely different morally upright guy to run as a gop candidate? — AnneC (@annegrace_C) November 13, 2017

Shut the fuck up, Coulter, you stupid, soulless, empty excuse of a person! Pedophile Moore’s behavior in no way compares to this insipid excuse of a remark about a past President long dead. WTF is wrong with you! — Betty Buckley (@BettyBuckley) November 13, 2017

Two dudes wanting to sleep next to each other is the end of civilization, but a 32 year old fondling a 14 year old is just good old fashioned America. — Wagner the Wagnerian (@wagnerock) November 13, 2017
