Republicans Suddenly Outraged at Naughty Words

Karen Tumulty flags a tweet from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) who is suddenly outraged that a top Biden aide referred to Republican lawmakers as “fuckers.”

“Rubio was joined in his outrage by many other Republicans, who apparently are unaware that among the things that President Trump has achieved in his single term is bringing swearing into the mainstream. On just one day in 2019, this newspaper used the word ‘bullshit’ five times in quoting Trump’s rants about his impeachment. Trump cusses liberally at his rallies, knowing it brings cheers from his devoted supporters. They see it as evidence of his toughness and willingness to call things the way he sees them.”
