In the penultimate question of the last presidential debate, Hillary Clinton, while discussing Donald Trump's tax payments, was yet again interrupted by the Republican nominee with yet another slur.

As Clinton discussed the inflationary rise of taxes and how she and Trump will have to pay more, she said, "assuming he can't figure out a way to get out of it."

Trump immediately responded, leaning into the mic to say, "such a nasty woman."

Well, that didn't go over to well with viewers.

Calling Clinton a "nasty woman" came at the end of three very tense debates when both candidates were constantly at each other's throats. It also comes at the end of a punishing few weeks for the country's perception of Trump's treatment of women, following a vulgar leaked conversation and multiple accusations of sexual assault.

The phrase, uttered so soon after Trump roundly insisted that no one has more respect for women than him, quickly became a trending hashtag. #NastyWoman took over Twitter.
