Underwear Company Has Ridiculous Response To Senator Barbara Boxer's Retirement

AP Barbara Boxer at a September 2014 hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. After Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) announced her decision not to seek reelection in 2016, the underwear retailer Fruit of the Loom marked the occasion with a decidedly silly Twitter pun:

Congrats to Barbara Boxer on a term that was anything but brief. #WeLoveBoxers

— Fruit of the Loom (@FruitOfTheLoom) January 8, 2015

Boxer has served in the Senate since 1993, and before that spent 10 years in the House of Representatives.

Fruit of the Loom's joke quickly earned mixed reviews from Twitter politicos.
