On Monday morning, National Public Radio ran a story about the health risks of sitting for hours every day, particularly for people in late middle age and older.

Titled “Get off the couch, Baby Boomers — Or you may not be able to later,” the “Morning Edition” story by correspondent Patti Neighmond explained that prolonged sitting and binge TV watching are contributing factors to becoming less mobile in old age.

However, Trump supporters saw the #GetOffTheCouchBabyBoomers hashtag starting to trend and — assuming it was aimed at them — spoke up in their defense.

Some people could only look on in horror.

"Get Off The Couch Baby Boomers" is trending, people automatically assume it's political and not about fitness. Bad messaging. pic.twitter.com/IJXHryXFNh
