Gigi Hadid slams islamophobic tweet in the best possible way
Gigi Hadid has earned the respect of thousands of Twitter users after she expertly took down a far-right blogger for posting an islamophobic tweet.
On Tuesday, Laura Loomer posted a photo showing two Muslim women walking close to the scene where eight people were killed in a ISIS-inspred terror attack in New York City earlier this week.
In the caption, Laura accused the women of “rubbing [the attack] in everyone's faces” by “aimlessly walking around in hijabs.”

You'd think they'd have the decency to not walk around in hijabs @ cross street of the attack. But they don't. I bet they're loving this.

People were quick to condemn her comments, with many branding the ignorant post as “ridiculous” and “digusting.”
One notable figure to speak put against Laura's controversial tweet was US supermodel, Gigi Hadid.
Clearly furious with the statment, the 22-year-old wrote: “Laura, I hate to give you the attention, but I need to tell you- You're a f**king moron.”

Laura then hit back at the star, saying: “Every verified liberal in Hollywood & MSM is tweeting at me today. I guess I really pissed them off!. It's not like I killed 8 ppl…”
alas.. your RT only proves your classless desperation to spread hate for attention..

To which Gigi replied: “alas.. your RT only proves your classless desperation to spread hate for attention..”
Needless to say, her expertly executed response went down well with fans.
Omg I love you Gigi
