An 8-year-old boy who decided to dress up as Hillary Clinton for Halloween was attacked with anti-LGBT slurs on Twitter over the weekend.

A Brooklyn mother on Sunday tweeted a picture of her son in the Clinton costume.

“Our 8 year-old son is with you @hillaryclinton today and everyday,” the tweet explained.

In a follow-up tweet, the mother said that her son had stepped up when her daughter declined to go trick-or-treating as Clinton.

The Backstory: Our 5 yo daughter had no costume. We said: How about HRC? Daughter: Nope. Son: Well someone's gotta be Hillary! @HFA #Proud https://t.co/LYzayVSlkq

@marylovefreedom @DebbersGar @HillaryClinton @HFA Because they are a lesbian couple and they're indoctrinating him into becoming gay. Sick.

Dressing up a boy as a girl is stomach-churning.
