Marco Rubio is sad that a Biden aide called Republicans in Congress a naughty word.
Marco — and he’s not alone among Trump devotees — got his panties in a bunch when Jen O’Malley Dillon, Biden’s soon-to-be White House deputy chief of staff, insulted the GOP while defending Biden’s desire for unity despite GOP intransigence:
The president-elect was able to connect with people over this sense of unity. 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.

Such language!
In response, Rubio reached for Twitter, that trusty faux-outrage machine:
A perfect example of a snowfake — defined in the fictionary as “a person who displays a spurious and often hypocritical sense of outrage over comments that challenge his or her sense of entitlement.”
If I ever need a picture to illustrate the definition, I’ll know where to look.
By the way — as is often the case — the most trenchant response comes from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:
Preach, sista!
