Republican National Committee chair whines about civility after ex-DNC chair tells her to “go to hell”
In a political atmosphere dominated by President’s incessant insults and crude mockery of all who oppose him, it is beyond infuriating to hear members of his own party complain about civility. Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel took to FOX News on Wednesday to whine that it was “out of line” for former DNC chair Donna Brazile to tell her to “go to hell” in a fiery exchange on national television.
“It’s never fun to have your teenagers come home from school and say ‘Hey mom, you’re trending on social media because some woman said you should ‘go to heck'” sniffed McDaniel. “That being said, politics is a contact sport.”
Whether Donna Brazile likes it or not, Establishment Democrats are going after Bernie.
Nearly 100 superdelegates (party elites) told @NYTimes they won’t support him.
The DNC changed the debate criteria for Bloomberg.

The incident in question occurred during a discussion before Super Tuesday about the Democratic primary. McDaniel brought up news reports that indicated that Democratic superdelegates were considering rigging a broken convention against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to deny him the nomination.
Brazile reacted with fury at the insinuation, telling her to “go to hell” and condemning the idea as “Russian talking points,” despite having written a book that argues that the process was rigged against Sanders in the 2016 election.
While those reports were quickly denied, we can all agree it is really rich to see a prominent Republican complain about civility when the President of the United States has spent the past few days making fun of Mike Bloomberg’s height like a schoolyard bully.
Mini Mike, “Three months ago I entered the race for President to defeat Donald Trump, (and I failed miserably!).

Mini Mike Bloomberg will now FIRE Tim O’Brien, and all of the fools and truly dumb people who got him into this MESS. This has been the worst, and most embarrassing, experience of his life…and now on to Sleepy Joe!
