It's common to see people troll those they don't agree with online - but trolling your own kid? Conservative radio host Jesse Kelly of The Jesse Kelly Show on KPRC-AM 950 in Houston, was held under fire over the weekend for a series of tweets in which he trolled his own son for his participation in the Lego robotics tournament.
According to Buzzfeed, the event is a competition for kids to program autonomous robots to complete tasks. While watching his 10-year-old son compete, Kelly, shot off a series of tweets that mocked the competition and seemed to allude to some embarrassment over his son's participation. The troll job was met with a hoard of negative reactions and support for his kid. Scroll down below to read all of Kelly's tweets and people's reactions.

In response to the outrage, Jesse told Chron.com the entire incident was a joke and that he was not sorry he had done it. "I'll probably do it again," he told the outlet, "I think it's hilarious, as does everyone with a sense of humor."
