A few rightwing nutter sites were complaining about the lack of respect they feel Bob Dole was getting by people on the Left. RedState took it to an extreme, calling a tweet by MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan “the most disgusting, obsessive take on Bob Dole’s death.”
What did Hasan say that was so vile?
This:
Wow. And you thought Ilhan Omar had it rough this week.
Bob Dole was a Trumper, but he also said in July that he was “trumped out.” Neither statement is disgusting or vile—just factual. Disgusting and vile are the racist personal attacks that Donald Trump made fashionable in the GOP and carried out each week by the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Madison Cawthorne, and Lauren Boebert. I haven’t heard any complaining about that, though.
Speaking of vile, this is literally how Donald J. Trump responded to another Republican icon’s death, Colin Powell:
"Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement released Tuesday morning. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!"
Donald J. Trump is the definition of a classless oaf. If you want to see a night and day difference between Trump and an actual class act, then just watch below:
Even if Trump had all the money he pretends to have, he still couldn’t buy class. He is, and will always be, trash.
If you are surprised by Trump’s behavior, you clearly never paid attention. Trump treats everyone like ass, including his own wife. Trump always ran ahead of her, berated her in public, and even refused to share his umbrella when it was raining.
Even back then, Obama had to set the example.
As my Republican friend used to say: Thanks, Obama.
