Open Image Modal

Mitt Romney made one thing abundantly clear during Wednesday night's debate: He likes firing birds, too.

In a discussion on the deficit, the presidential candidate said to host Jim Lehrer, Im sorry, Jim, Im gonna stop the subsidy to PBS. I like PBS, I love Big Bird -- I actually like, you too -- but I am not going to keep spending money on things [we have] to borrow money from China to pay for.

Naturally, Twitter responded, and responded with vigor.
