It was this debate’s shimmy.
The third and final Presidential debate was almost over when Trump took Clinton’s cleverly spun bait. In response to a jab about finding a loophole around paying taxes, Trump looked in the camera and said, speaking over her, “Such a nasty woman.”
It was the shot heard ’round the Internet.
Some people were relieved that the stress of picking a Halloween costume was over:
I’m dressing up as a #nastywoman for Halloween. By which I mean, I will dress as a competent, calm, and brilliant woman #debatenight

Especially since it works perfectly as a couple costume with the night’s other major verbal gaffe!
pls tell me someone is selling matching couple t-shirts that say “nasty woman” and “bad hombre”

The phrase was quickly reclaimed by women proclaiming their “nastiness” on Twitter:

A pink-and-white “Nasty Woman” T-shirt is already for sale online, with 50 percent of funds going to Planned Parenthood.
The kicker? Wednesday morning’s surprise that nastywomengetshitdone.com now redirects to Hillary Clinton’s website.
