After four years of delighting in President Donald Trump’s unapologetically spiteful crusade to “own the libs,” conservatives are now suddenly scandalized by incivility after former Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon, who will serve as President-elect Joe Biden’s White House deputy chief of staff, mentioned in explicit terms the difficulty of working with the GOP.
Dillon made the comment during an interview with Glamour on Tuesday as she was discussing Biden’s push for unity with Republicans despite the GOP obstructing Democrats at virtually every turn.
“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,” the Biden aide said. “But this sense that you couldn’t wish for that, you couldn’t wish for this bipartisan ideal? He rejected that.”
Conservatives, including people who work for the Trump campaign, were utterly aghast at Dillon’s rudeness:
Unite you F*ckers! https://t.co/N8YQY0VIJ6

Thank goodness civility and presidential behavior has finally returned to the White House. It's really incredible the Democrats were able to pull that off on the country. https://t.co/40otdix9TW

While @JoeBiden calls for “unity” his potty mouth incoming Deputy COS calls Conservatives (expletive) in mag interview. If Biden wants to spur a #Resist movement against his Admin alienating 1/2 the country is a good way to do it https://t.co/rLCEr2uPZJ #mapoli @senatemajldr @gop

They ARE a bunch of fuckers – nihilistic fuckers.
GOP a bunch of obstructing fuckers? Of course they are but that probably finishes Dillon as deputy Chief of Staff: can’t have the unvarnished truth can we? Gotta give the turd some patina, buff it up a little to shelter sensitive reich-wing psyches.
I’m sorry, what’s the problem here? Are they all celibate?
She could of said they are pieces of sh*t… Same thing…
She didn’t say they are fuckers.
She just said that she wouldn’t say that they are not fuckers. Presumably to avoid offending the hordes of Democrats, progressives, and others who think that the GOP is a bunch of fuckers.
She was just being PC
