Republicans are throwing a hissy fit after incoming Biden Deputy Chief of Staff Jen O’Malley Dillon accurately described some of them as “f*ckers” and called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) “terrible,” and Rick Wilson was having none of their flagrant hypocrisy.
During an interview with Glamour magazine, O’Malley Dillon discussed Biden’s desire to work with Republicans in a bipartisan manner while conceding that they’re not good people.
“The president-elect was able to connect with people over this sense of unity,” she said. “In the primary, people would mock him, like, “You think you can work with Republicans?” I’m not saying they’re not a bunch of fuckers. Mitch McConnell is terrible. But this sense that you couldn’t wish for that, you couldn’t wish for this bipartisan ideal? He rejected that. From start to finish, he set out with this idea that unity was possible, that together we are stronger, that we, as a country, need healing, and our politics needs that too.”
Of course, it didn’t take long for Republicans to get their panties in a bunch and whine about supposed “incivility” from Biden’s team.
But after four years of letting Trump be uncivil unlike any president we’ve ever had before, former GOP strategist Rick Wilson didn’t want to hear their hypocrisy and told Republicans to prepare themselves to reap what they sowed.
Yeah…I don’t want to hear one goddamn word about civility from the people who spent 5 years ignoring, eliding or excusing the open sewage hole of Trump’s insults and outrages.
Suck it up, buttercup. You bought the ticket. Now you get to take the ride.

Of course, it shouldn’t shock anyone; Washington is full of weak, ambitious men more familiar with the geography and odor of Trump’s ass than they are with anything remotely resembling honor, integrity, courage, or strength.

Civility, my ass.

Indeed, MSNBC host and former Republican advisor Nicolle Wallace pointed out many of the instances of incivility outgoing President Donald Trump has displayed over the years that Republicans largely failed to condemn.
Are we really talking about the f word in any context other than the f-ing people who stood by Trump as he boasted about “grabbing women in the pussy”, smeared “shit hole countries” called black NFL players “sons of bitches” and assaulted our democracy while ignoring covid?

In fact, Trump basically subscribed to letting millions of Americans get infected with coronavirus, which has now claimed the lives of over 300,000 across the country.
Trump has also viciously attacked and bullied his political rivals and anyone who disagrees with him, resulting in many Republicans cowering before him rather than call him out. For them to be even remotely upset about being referred to as “fckers” is laughable considering what Trump has said and done as the leader of their party. But there’s a far simpler way to dismiss their complaints. In the words of Trump’s own supporters, “Fck your feelings.”
