Donald Trump supporters took a big swing and a miss recently, much like batters do when facing the Chicago Cubs’ Jon Lester.
Many Trump supporters took to Twitter to express their disgust with NBC anchor Lester Holt, who moderated the debate between Trump and Hilary Clinton last week.
Problem is, they hit up the pitcher instead:
@cirstenw I think you have the wrong Lester

@MikeBrowne44 I’ll be pretty busy doing my own thing so I think I’ll be okay. Perhaps you should send this to Lester Holt

@SharNeal hey Sharon, might want to dig a little deeper in your Twitter search. I think you meant @LesterHoltNBC

Hilarious, especially because Lester was probably pretty confused at first when the notifications started rolling in.
How did we miss this. People were tweeting at Jon Lester after the debate thinking he was Lester Holt pic.twitter.com/jTZkeclKiK

Kudos to Lester for handling it like a champ. No need for silly distractions while his team competes for a championship—whether the political world realizes it or not.
