Politico reporter Marc Caputo mocked the attendees at President Donald Trump’s rally in Tampa, Florida on Tuesday night.

Caputo tweeted out a joke Wednesday insinuating that Trump supporters are missing teeth, writing, “If you put everyone’s mouths together in this video, you’d get a full set of teeth.”

Conservatives on Twitter slammed Caputo for the joke, noting that his condescending attitude toward Trump supporters are why many of them have such disdain for the media.
