Fox News analyst and one-time MSNBC host Monica Crowley caused a bit of an uproar on Twitter this morning when she tweeted a picture of her at the Berlin Wall with the caption “walls work.” The tweet is being met with outrage, support, and sarcasm, as well as a follow-up tweet from Crowley (see below). Walls have obviously been a hot topic since presidential candidate Donald Trump made it a cornerstone of his campaign to build a wall separating the United States and Mexico.

Here are some of the reactions tweets directed at Crowley:
@MonicaCrowley They may work, and that’s amazing to see, but the comment is in poor taste considering the families kept apart, etc.

@MonicaCrowley Also, one could argue that the wall didn’t work as it came crumbling down eventually. Best probably to remove post.

@MonicaCrowley well, that and the armed guards, and the minefields, and the mile of no-man’s-land where people were shot on sight

@jimpjorps @MonicaCrowley You do know the Soviet Union (ie Communists) built that, don’t you? Not naturally a Fox audience?

@MonicaCrowley “Mr. Gorbachev, keep that wall up!” -Reagan, before those evil libs distorted the quote.

@monicacrowley The only instance walls work is when they hold up buildings. This, as u might suspect, was not one of those instances. #idiot

@MonicaCrowley @robdelaney Ah yes, East Germany. What better model to emulate

@MonicaCrowley @robdelaney FACT: Not one MEXICAN ever made it over the Berlin Wall.

Later, Crowley tweeted:
For those of you who have missed the point, this is what remains of the Berlin Wall. pic.twitter.com/XwGZLfSQeT
