PITTSBURGH — Controversy seems to follow every time Donald Trump tweets, and this one is no exception.
After spending the day campaigning on Monday, Trump tweeted a photo of himself eating KFC on his private plane with (gasp!) a knife and fork.
Great afternoon in Ohio & a great evening in Pennsylvania – departing now. See you tomorrow Virginia! pic.twitter.com/jQTQYBFpdb

Twitter users were quick to react to this insult to fried chicken.

It has been pointed out that Trump's hands are too small for hormone enhanced KFC chicken breasts. https://t.co/QfqKFLQn9I

This isn’t the first time the GOP nominee has drawn outrage over his utensil use. In 2011m he and Sarah Palin stopped for pizza in New York’s Times Square and dug into the slices with forks and knives:
