Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Thursday took to Twitter to push back against any Trump supporters “offended” by President-elect Joe Biden’s former campaign manager cursing when talking about GOP lawmakers in a recent interview.

Republicans had aim at incoming deputy chief of staff Jen O’Malley Dillon after she called GOP lawmakers “a bunch of f---ers” and said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is “terrible” in an interview published by Glamour Tuesday.

Clinton responded to the criticism in a tweet Thursday, writing, “People who stood by Donald Trump for the last four years are now claiming to be offended that a Democratic campaign manager used a curse word?”

Users who responded to Clinton’s tweet were quick to point out Trump’s past use of explicit language, especially in a 2005 “Access Hollywood” video clip which resurfaced weeks before the 2016 election in which he bragged about kissing and groping women without their consent.

1. As always, Hillary nails it!

[Mike Nelson]

2. Yikes!

... how can a Trump supporter claim to be offended by anything?

[CaptYossarian]

41. Let's see...

wearing N95 face masks
kneeling at a friggin' game
Black people in public
voting by mail
marrying someone you love
clean water and air
having a second political party
women saying "no"
everyone having health care
speaking another language
Democracy
calling a traitor a traitor

I started with 12 examples, while God only had 10 Commandments. My 12 only scratch the surface.

50. 3rd one nailed it for me. n/t

[JohnnyRingo]

52. That's a whole lot of clutched pearls there.

Sometimes I wonder how anyone in that party survives the outrages of daily life, especially this time of year. And by that I mean the Holidays.

Certainly can't be fun watching the late shows.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. Keep exposing the Republican HYPOCRISY by telling the truth...

No matter how brutal it is.

[SheltieLover]

15. This!👆

[Budi]

4. Jen O'Malley Dillon should put out a stament to include the word RAT

"RATFuckers & Fuckers."

[George II]

5. They obviously forgot about this: I moved on her like a b*" , "I did try and f* her."

That wasn't a staffer, that was trump HIMSELF!

[Budi]

7. And this:

They are fuckers & that's being nice as possible.
There are no words to i.d. the Trump admin who sat in their little group & decided the fate of 300,000,000 American citizens.

[LaMouffette]

6. They lost any right to be offended by a lack of civility when Joe Wilson called out "You lie!"

during one of President Barack Obama's addresses to Congress. And of course their continued support of the vile Trump no matter what vulgarity came out of his shriveled-up anus of a piehole also denies them the right to put on airs over curse words, especially when those words are spot-on accurate.

[LovingA2andMI]

11. So Are You Suggesting We Tap Dance....

The Answer to that suggestion is HELL NO!

[UpInArms]

9. Pearl clutching hypocrites

They make me sick

[bluestarone]

10. She was right a million times over when she

Called his base a bunch of DEPLORABLES!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StatGirl]

12. To be precise, she didn't call them f---ers.

She said that she wasn't not calling them f---ers.

"I'm not saying they're not a bunch of f---ers".

Not the same thing.

[CoryTrevor]

13. I'll stop calling them F'ers if they meet me halfway, and

stop acting like a bunch of F'ers.

[LiberalLovinLug]

14. Hahahahahahahahaha

No, sorry Mitch, but you, and even all those evangelical supporters have all lowered the bar.

As I heard one liberal host say, thank gawd, its a relief, we now don't have to worry about tip toeing around using foul language. They've opened that up. So I guess ....thanks?

But no, you can't put the swear words back into the jar now. You fucking bloated turtle fucker.

[Traildogbob]

18. Fuck em all

Remember the toothless brain dead brother sister old married couple with the matching “Fuck Your Feelings tee shirts”? Fuck you, you fucking fuck wad fuck faced mother fucking sister fucking and many of you fucking child fucking refucklicons.

Hillary was going easy on ‘em when she called them out and referred to them as Deplorables. They’re LIGHTYEARS beyond merely deplorable!

[musclecar6]

17. The Orange Nazi

In a 2018 conversation recorded by former friend...the first lady griped about decorating the White House for the holiday.
“I’m working like a, my ass off at Christmas stuff,” she said. “You know, who gives a fuck about Christmas stuff and decoration but I need to do it, right?

[Marcuse]

53. I somewhat misquoted her from memory. I hate when that happens. Thank you.

21. Li'l Dubbie called a reporter a "major league asshole." Cheney did worse.

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/major-league-remark/

Upon spotting a veteran political reporter in the crowd and pointing him out to his running mate, Dick Cheney, as the two stood at the podium waving to the assembled crowd, Bush said, “There’s Adam Clymer, major-league asshole from The New York Times.” Cheney, also unaware the microphones were turned on, agreed, saying, “Oh yeah, he is, big time.”

Not everyone in the crowd caught the exchange, but many did. It was also captured by dozens of video cameras, destroying any chance of anyone’s later denying the statements or attributing their wording to misquoting. What was said became a matter of public record.

President Bush was subsequently criticized both for the remark itself and for the way the fallout from it was handled. When his aides were questioned about the “asshole” comment, rather than offering the candidate’s apologies for what he had said, they instead defended the remark, attributing it to justifiable ire over particular items Clymer had written about Bush’s career as Governor of Texas. “There’s been a series of articles [by Clymer] that the governor has felt have been very unfair,” said Bush’s communications director, Karen Hughes.

Typical.

https://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/06/25/cheney.leahy/

(CNN) -- Vice President Dick Cheney has said he didn't regret cursing at Sen. Patrick Leahy earlier this week, and said he felt better after the incident.

In an interview with Fox News on Friday, Cheney said he was "forcefully" expressing his unhappiness with the conduct of the Democratic senator from Vermont -- who Cheney said had publicly questioned his integrity, and then wanted to be friendly when he saw him in person.

Sources who related the incident to CNN said the vice president had told Leahy either "f--- off" or "go f--- yourself."

Cheney would not confirm using the word.

"That's not the kind of language I usually use," the vice president said in the interview during a campaign stop in Michigan.

When asked if he had cursed at Leahy, Cheney answered, "Probably."

"Do you have any regrets?," Neil Cavuto asked.

"No. I said it," the vice president responded.

I remember being more concerned that Cheney couldn't make up his mind about whether he said it or not.

22. Another

snowstorm whipped up by flakes. How newsworthy! HA!

[cojoel]

23. they lost their rights to complain about just about anything

We should not allow complaints about anybody's coarse conduct and language, boorish behavior, executive overreach, balanced budgets, well-connected family members, and the list oges on and on and on...

[mpcamb]

24. "a bunch of f---ers" Aw, com'on! If the shoe fits those republican feet, ...

[SpankMe]

25. Yeah, here comes the Republican amnesia

Mysteriously, all of the crass, over-the-top behavior and verbal diarrhea coming out of Republicans during the last 4 years will be conveniently forgotten.

They'll go back to raging against and disqualifying Dems for even the slightest non-G-rated quip or misstatement.

Hypocrisy runs deep in that crowd, those Republicans.

[ancianita]

26. No Republicans get to take offense about anything Democrats do or say ever again. NEVER EVER.

They know why. So never explain or defend.

Democrats got nothing to prove and no fucks to give to Republicans.

27. this is a classic example of the double standard for powerful women!!!!!!!!!!

spare me the virtue signaling...

31. Just like that

[iluvtennis]

37. Love it... nt

[IsItJustMe]

32. Hypocrites are the worst POS in my book.

[Leith]

33. I've been offended by rethugs for years

They lead chants to lock up people who have committed no crimes. The first soft porn model says "fuck Christmas" and publicly announces that she doesn't care about families torn apart and toddlers tossed into cages with nobody but other children to care for them - not even forgetting about the big bucks they collect from charging the government like they are in 5 star hotels.

Fuck it - I'm done with them. It makes me ashamed of my species.

34. Show 'em this (NSFW)

35. Rt.. TY Hillary!

36. Hillary has got the tweeting thing down. Brava Hillary! nt

38. wow am shocked these bastards who stood back while the asshole in the white house

46. Two hours later and I'm still certain one hide already is more than enough for me, thankyou sweetly.

I used to be a serious believer in "if you don't know it, it isn't there." These people carry it to the nth degree.

[Evolve Dammit]

47. Fuck 'em. We were gaslit and demonized for four and a half years. No shits left to give.

[Skittles]

49. it is amazing what offends repukes and what does not

Hillary is absolutely correct.

[JohnnyRingo]

51. His supporters can't complain about ANYTHING now.

I don't care if Biden bought stock in BioNTech the week before the announcement, grabbed Hayleigh McEnany's ass, and took a souvenir brick home from Ft Knox.

If it was Trump, republicans would have said it's because he's so smart.

[jimlup]

54. She calls it...

standard rightwing hypocrisy but then maybe we should change their name to that. Thy hypocrisy party = republicans
