Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump sparked outrage Wednesday night after calling Democratic rival Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman” during their third and final debate in Las Vegas.

As they were nearing the end of their 90-minute slugfest, Clinton landed a blow about Trump possibly evading social security taxes. As she continued talking, Trump moved closer to his microphone and said, “Such a nasty woman.”

He immediately heard from many on Twitter who used the term as a symbol of empowerment for women.

Some used it to defend Trump and attack Clinton.

But it appears the name had already been taken.
