Ms Horton took a moment to address the email directly, stating, "I'm just going to respond to an email that I just got saying, 'Congratulations on your pregnancy.'"
She continued, reading aloud the email's cruel message: "If you're going to wear old bus driver pants, then you have to expect emails like this." "So, thanks for that," she replied sarcastically.
