It is their responsibility to correct these assholes. Guests from the Democratic Party should also call them on it and walk off the effin set iwhen it is repeated. Likewise every time an elected ReTHUG says it in a legislature , an objection should be raised. It has always been an attempt to delegitimize the Democratic Party.

Dems should also call them weird - how hard is it to remember the name of the Democratic Party.
