Neil deGrasse Tyson's epic thrashing response to small town columnists criticism

Larson: Neil deGrasse Tyson is a horse’s astrophysicist

<50%

Just a few days into the Olympics, the steadily updated medal count proved it was clear Rio was going to turn out to be a good year for the United States. My short moment of American pride was swiftly interrupted, though, by the conditioned realization that liberals would start finding ways to either dismiss or apologize to everyone for it. Because in any progressive’s world besides politics, winning is shameful. The victorious side of any disparity represents some kind of “privilege” for which the victor is obligated to adopt an apologetic stance.

Almost on cue, celebrity astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson shared this gem on that intellectual storehouse, Twitter:

“The USA has 3x as many Olympic golds as Hungary, but 30x the population. Adjusting for this, Hungary is kicking our ass.”

Hello Neal

First, I'll forgive you for not spelling your name correctly.

Second, and more importantly, I don't mind being labeled a horse's astrophysicist (I see what you did there), provided it's based on factual information. So what we must do is subtract the false information from your article, and then re-assess what name you choose to call me. If it still justifies "horse's astrophysicist", then so be it.

Tyson then lays out an epic thrashing
