GOP Slams Democrats Early in Debate on Twitter

Republicans took to Twitter early as the third Democratic debate got underway Saturday, slamming front-runner Hillary Clinton over the voter-data breach that has caused a rift between the former secretary of state and challenger Bernie Sanders.

As Sanders explained the circumstances behind the data breach, Mike Huckabee tweeted:

Why are @TheDemocrats more upset about @BernieSanders having access to @HillaryClinton's computer system than Russia/China/Iran? #DemDebate

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus soon weighed in:

.@HillaryClinton has some experience with independent investigations...

Jeb Bush slammed Clinton on her tying gun control to battling terrorism:

More gun control isn't the answer to defeating radical Islamic terrorism, @HillaryClinton. #DemDebate https://t.co/6TLbmtfWBy

John Kasich and Rick Santorum slammed the candidates on foreign policy:

And Chris Christie contrasted himself to President Barack Obama on his need to watch more cable television to get a stronger pulse on the American public:

I don’t need to watch cable news to find out that they’re filled with anxiety https://t.co/26pFFc2M2H #Christie2016 #FITN

Bush later slammed Clinton again, this time on destroying the Islamic State, and then the three contenders on middle-class tax hikes:

No @HillaryClinton - We are not "where we need to be" in fight against ISIS. #DemDebate https://t.co/PFPpF5lADy
