NEWSPAPER CALLS VOTERS 'MINDLESS ZOMBIES' OVER TRUMP WIN
GOP front-runner depicted as 'clown' with red-painted lips

The New York Daily News, which just came under fire for an insulting front-page headline that told Sen. Ted Cruz to “drop dead,” has done it again and published its post-New Hampshire primary paper with a bluntly offensive lead that calls out voters as stupid for picking Donald Trump.
The newspaper tweeted: “Front page: DAWN OF THE BRAIN DEAD – Trump comes back to life with N.H. win.”
The cover itself showed Trump with a white-painted face and huge red-painted lips drawn into a smile – akin to the Joker in Batman movies. And its headline, in all caps, blasted “Dawn of the Brain Dead.”
The subtitle read: ‘Clown comes back to life with N.H. win as mindless zombies turn out in droves.”
Trump reacted with characteristic tough talk.
In a series of tweets, he wrote: “Dopey Mort Zuckerman, owner of the worthless @NYDailyNews, has a major inferiority complex. Paper will close soon!”
And again: “Worthless @NYDailyNews, which dopey Mort Zuckerman, is desperately trying to sell, has no buyer! Liabilities are massive!”
Twitter followers were quick to comment, as well.
One wrote: “Keep in mind @NYDailyNews knows Trump up close and personal. They know him better than just about any news outlet around.”
Another: “@NYDailyNews … Not very tolerant, is it?”
And one more: “@NYDailyNews Mindless zombies, says the newspaper of the least free state in the union – the overtaxed, debt-riddled state of New York!”
The same newspaper in January put out a front-page headline that blasted Cruz for his criticisms of New York liberal values, saying, as WND reported: “Drop Dead, Ted. Hey Cruz: You don’t like N.Y. values? Go back to Canada!”
But the Daily News was not alone in its criticism of the Trump win in New Hampshire.
The Huffington Post’s front page reacted to the billionaire’s win with a headline that blasted, above a photo of Trump: “NH Goes Racist Sexist Xenophobic.”
