PA lawmaker calls internet troll's grandma - LOL

Democratic Pennsylvania state Rep. Brian Sims had a message for an internet troll: “David, I can’t tell if you’re just a really dumb little boy or an angry bigot but I know for sure that you shouldn’t have posted your grandmother’s telephone number on your Facebook so many times. She and I just had a very disappointing chat about you.”

A Pennsylvania state lawmaker on Wednesday hit back at an internet troll who called him the n-word and a "fa----" by calling his grandmother and telling her what her grandson had done.

Pennsylvania House Rep. Brian Sims, an openly gay lawmaker, posted on Facebook Wednesday with a screenshot of his interaction with the troll. [...]

”I explained to her exactly who I was and what he had done,” Sims said. “Like any grandma she was very embarrassed at having this kind of convo and very ashamed at the actions of her grandson. The conversation ended with me telling her that I wanted to hear from him.”
