A waitress who was given a $40 tip by George W Bush later trashed the former president on Twitter accusing him of 'doing' 9/11.
Smith tweeted a photo of herself with Bush and wife Laura and added: 'Bush did 911 but he did me a solid and left me a hella tip #'.
But Leisa Smith's joke has backfired and many took to social media to call her out for her 'insensitive' and 'stupid' comments.
One tweeter commented: 'Bush didn't 'do' 9/11, terrorists did. Bush retaliated against them'.
While another said: 'I hope you work there till you 70 lol. You ain't ready for the real world! haha #Stupid.'
And a user called Bob Koch wrote: 'You gladly take his money and then dog him on social media? So disrespectful and uneducated. I hope you grow up and learn. Good luck'
But Smith claims that she was 'only joking' when she sent the tweet and 'doesn't actually think that Bush 'did' 9/11.
She told Mic: 'I have a couple of friends that use the meme a lot and they were the only ones I was expecting to see the tweet.
Smith also tweeted a statement that re-iterated that it was only meant as a joke.
She said: 'I don't believe Bush did 9/11 it was meant as a sarcastic joke. I didn't mean to make fun of 9/11 or the people involved, I was only trying to mock the people that believe in the conspiracy.'
She also added: President George W. Bush (sic) and his wife were the nicest people I have ever met and had I known the tweet would blow out of proportion like this I would have never tweeted it.'
And while the $40 tip on the $21.47 bill was generous, the former president is currently valued at around $20 million, according to TIME.

Of course Hillary's arithmetic was quite correct. 20% of zero is zero.
“Hella” is so 2000s.
LOL!!
Despite differences many of us here have had with President Bush, I know people who have met him in person, and they all agree that he is a gracious and decent man.
It’s not a joke if I’m not laughing
Should have learned that long ago
Right, like he should have left her what, a new car?
Reminds me of when Oprah gave away new cars and then when the recipients of the gift found out they had to pay taxes on it they were outraged.
Bush did 9/11: this chic is b.s. crazy.
Not to mention it looks from that photo that Laura is in much better shape than she is.
I believe 2 egg sandwiches.
It's a Daily Mail (UK) article, they just use a figure 'according to' TIME. Usually, the DM, for some inane reason and a running joke in the comments section, quotes the value of the house someone lives in. Guess they didn't have that figure for GW and used another wealth indicator this time.
She said: 'I don't believe Bush did 9/11 it was meant as a sarcastic joke. I didn't mean to make fun of 9/11 or the people involved, I was only trying to mock the people that believe in the conspiracy.'
“she said she was being sarcastic and didn’t mean to say that he did it. leave it alone.”
I agree completely.
There’s plenty ‘nough to be getting outraged over. We don’t need to be doing the molehill to mountain conversions that SJWs excel at too.
Yet another example of how no good deed goes unpunished in today’s world, which is becoming more insane by the minute.
W will be 70 years old on July 6th.
Maybe it’s because I am older, but when I hear the phrase “did me a solid”, I just automatically think the person is discussing a BM.
