Apparently Senators withholding approval of Biden nominees don't need check their own rhetoric

...they'd keep Neera Tanden out of OMB for mean tweets, reserving their own right to make whatever vile attack they please with impunity.

What do you call an authority that demands benignity from subordinates as they publicly demean them?

Andrew Solender @AndrewSolender 5h
GOP Sen. John Kennedy calls Haaland a "neo-socialist left-of-Lenin whackjob," per Hill pool. On Tanden, he says, "I'm not saying she's a smoked turkey, but the smoker is heating up."
