Teen smacks down alt-right troll mocking her wheelchair: Youre mad it gets ridden more than you

Stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt received some Twitter hate from a user who made an awful joke about Oswalt’s late wife, writing that he was “channeling [Oswalt’s] wife’s opinions.” An alt-right troll chimed in, calling the comment “hilarious,” when Kylee Koenig, a 13-year-old girl with osteogenesis imperfecta shot him down.

The exchange started with the troll @hansolo telling Oswalt, “Get a sense of humor pls ‘comedian’. Arent (sic) you friends with Jim Goad? Harden up.” That’s when Koenig responded, “Easy to hide behind a screen to make these comments. Be a man put your words next to your real name. Coward.”

The conversation escalated from there, when the troll commented on Koenig’s wheelchair, and noting that “everyone feels sorry for (her).” Koenig responded with a smackdown, however.
