Republican Party's Weird Salute To GOP Presidents Quickly Flies Off The Rails

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Republican National Committee tried to honor its favorite presidents on Presidents Day.

It didn’t go well.

The official GOP account tweeted a meme mocking President Joe Biden while celebrating Richard M. Nixon and Donald Trump, among others:

It’s unclear why the RNC chose those specific presidents. It’s not simply a reverse-order list of the most recent Republicans in the Oval Office, as it skips Gerald Ford and Herbert Hoover. It’s also not a list of the most popular GOP presidents, as it omits Theodore Roosevelt, who consistently ranks near the top of polls and surveys.

1. That whole "respect the office" thing doesn't apply, sometimes?

It's a shame (it's not a shame) that Rush Limbaugh is dead; I'm confident he could have explained the finer points and nuances here (he couldn't have).

3. I just hope Joe Walsh apologized to Tammy Duckworth....

When she ran against him for the Congressional seat he once had about her Military service. He was not very nice to her.

Good that he left the Republican Party. That party is toxic. Those who remain become even more toxic.

4. According to her Wiki

Jacobus was born in the early 1960s. That would make her in her 30s in the 1990s, building up her career. Is she really trying to say that she does not remember Newt Gingrich, Ken Starr, and the rest of that lot? Has she never heard of Nixon or Ford's pardon of? Those were disgusting, anti-American and stupid.

Any rethug who was still a rethug after the Brooks Brothers riot has to do a lot more than say nasty things about the current crop of toxic weeds to rehabilitate him or herself.

6. Love that last one.

She certainly didn't mince any words.
