GQ Magazine released an article entitled “Fuck Ben Carson” by controversial writer Drew Magary in order to gain attention and support from many liberal cosmopolitan readers, but the story has had the opposite effect on social media.
Critics on Twitter lambasted the publication and author as racist, smug, and full of intolerance and not just by conservatives.
