Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro referred to Democrats as “demon-rats” Saturday, pulling a phrase usually reserved for internet comment sections and social media trolls onto prime time television. Watch below via Media Matters’ Matthew Gertz:
This needed to be preserved for posterity.
Jeanine Pirro just now on Fox: "The establishment Republicans have buckled, caved, and bowed to the Democrats. or should I say, Demon-rats. That's what I said, Demon-rats!" pic.twitter.com/EXArYFJfPS

Eustice! She’s stealing your stuff.
The ENTIRE GOP (also referred to as Rethugs) can be described thusly.
When they go low, they go lower.
Who’s selling the t-shirts? I’ll buy one. Better than being a “Repub”.
This is what we’re dealing with and what we’ve been dealing with since the rise of Limbaugh/Gingrich/Fox in the mid-1990s. Toxic hatred that is concerned only with achieving and sustaining political power by any means necessary, but primarily by attempting to demonize and dehumanize Democratic politicians and those who tend to vote for and support them. I’m tired of going high. Short of illegality or falsehood, we should spurn no strategy or tactics when it comes to fighting people who are so despicably authoritarian and corrupt.
