A day after Massachusetts lawmakers discussed a bill sponsored by Rep. Daniel Hunt that would make it illegal to call someone “bitch,” commenters plastered the word across the legislator’s social media pages.

On Twitter, Hunt, the Democrat representing Suffolk’s 13th district, explained that state law allows every resident to present bills to the legislature for consideration, providing “every Massachusetts resident a voice inside the Halls of the State House.”

Social media commenters didn’t care where the idea originated and directed their disapproval at Hunt. As of Wednesday morning, more than 320 comments appeared below the post. Most of them used the term his bill looked to criminalize.

Similar language was used on Facebook regarding posts that had no link to the bill.

On both platforms some of the commenters appeared to be from Massachusetts, but many accounts listed their locations from out of state and at least one outside country.

The bill was filed in January and heard before the Joint Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.

It drew criticism on Tuesday including from the Massachusetts GOP.

The group’s official Twitter account encouraged the public to “Let 'em have it.” in Twitter post on Tuesday.
