When Joe Biden was still out on the campaign trail, he played the part of a unifier. He made speeches about being a “President for all Americans”…even the ones who didn’t vote for him.
And while this sounded good in theory, it’s hard to imagine just how Biden will navigate a nation that has suffered months of civil unrest, economic collapse, and citizens who have been divided by the mainstream media’s addiction to conflict.
As it turns out, his cheery disposition is just a mask that his team is hiding behind waiting to fight Biden’s battles.
President-elect Joe Biden’s deputy chief of staff, Jen O’Malley Dillon, called Republicans “a bunch of f—ers” while praising Biden’s call for unity in an interview with Glamour magazine.
O’Malley Dillon was responding to a comment from Glamour reporter Glennon Doyle in the interview published Tuesday about redefining “compromise,” saying Biden “rejected” the idea that he could not work with the GOP.
“The president-elect was able to connect with people over this sense of unity,” O’Malley Dillon said. “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 f—ers. 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.”
There’s no telling what sort of monsters will be released from their cages after Biden is presumably inaugurated on January 20th. One thing is for sure, this will not be a smooth transition, and that may be by design.
