A deeply enjoyable day to be a Democrat

Donald Trump Jr. and the kamikaze tweetstorm that set Washington on fire

By Monica Hesse and Ben Terris July 11 at 5:44 PM

Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin smiled merrily when he saw the reporters approaching him. It was Tuesday, the day of Donald Trump Jr.’s kamikaze tweetstorm, and a deeply enjoyable day to be a Democrat in the hallways of the U.S. Capitol.

“If I were in a similar situation and that request was made,” the Maryland Democrat said, “I would have called law enforcement.” And then a flood of additional reporters swept over him, and he gamely accommodated this media mosh pit, taking on the next question, and the next, and the next.

Nationwide, the rattled American psyche tried to soothe its Twitter jitters, and meanwhile the halls of Capitol Hill were split into two neat camps: Democrats who had oodles of time to talk about the tweets in question, and GOP lawmakers who had not even heard of the tweets in question, and who is Donald Trump Jr., and what is a Twitter anyway?

“I really haven’t seen it,” Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) demurred, as he fled a storming flock of journalists, all of whom had time to see the tweets, discuss the tweets, get in cabs and descend upon the Hill to bring up the tweets with senators.

“I haven’t seen it yet, no comment,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) as he waited for the elevator to liberate him from the media pack.

1. Impeach the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

and his ignoble Cabal of Colluding Comrades as they engage in treason against America.

2. ++I havent seen it yet, no comment++

They lie constantly.
Their party and their media lie, lie, and more lies.

3. Yes but they're not calling it "fake news"

...so I guess that's a win.

They can't pretend it's not happening any more.
They know now - they have to face the music and dance.

4. LOL ...perfect.

5. Yet another excuse for the GOPers to cower in their offices, throw themselves a pity party and get wasted while listening to Leslie Gore.

" It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to, cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you "
