Twitter users wasted no time cooking up some fowl play on Friday after Donald Trump reneged on his intentions to debate Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The tag #ChickenTrump quickly picked up steam after the presumptive Republican nominee said he would not debate the Democratic candidate, even leading to an actual Chicken Donald Trump account, as seen below:

This is me, @realDonaldTrump! Going to go hide from a debate and think of more idiotic things to say. #ChickenDonald pic.twitter.com/yh8lWqzAZ4

Poor #ChickenTrump afraid to debate Bernie – he can't even uphold his own pseudo strongman persona. SAD! #FeelTheBern

… then let us make a small request. Like you, we here at Raw Story believe in the power of progressive journalism — and we’re investing in investigative reporting as other publications give it the ax. Raw Story readers power David Cay Johnston’s DCReport, which we've expanded to keep watch in Washington. We’ve exposed billionaire tax evasion and uncovered White House efforts to poison our water. We’ve revealed financial scams that prey on veterans, and legal efforts to harm workers exploited by abusive bosses. We’ve launched a weekly podcast, “We’ve Got Issues,” focused on issues, not tweets. And unlike other news outlets, we’ve decided to make our original content free. But we need your support to do what we do.

Raw Story is independent. You won’t find mainstream media bias here. We’re not part of a conglomerate, or a project of venture capital bros. From unflinching coverage of racism, to revealing efforts to erode our rights, Raw Story will continue to expose hypocrisy and harm. Unhinged from billionaires and corporate overlords, we fight to ensure no one is forgotten.

We need your support to keep producing quality journalism and deepen our investigative reporting. Every reader contribution, whatever the amount, makes a tremendous difference.
