Former Army intelligence analyst and transgender activist Chelsea Manning responded in the best way Monday night to a violent message she received on Twitter. <\/p>\n

The whistleblower, who posed in her bathing suit for a profile in the September issue of Vogue, has been considered a highly polarizing figure ever since she releasedthousands of sensitive government documents related to Americas Iraq and Afghanistan wars in 2013. <\/p>\n

As a result, Manning still receives messages like the one she received on Monday night from a Twitter user who told her You should have been shot for treason. <\/p>\n

Her response was priceless. <\/p>\n

Since Mannings release from prison earlier this year after her sentence was commuted by then-President Obama, the activist has used her platform to draw attention to the injustices trans and gender-nonconforming people face in America. Most recently she slammed Trumps ban on transgender people in the military, calling the move cowardice. <\/p>\n
