It’s no secret that since the red MAGA hats regained power in Washington, Democrats have been cursing a blue streak. Reporters have noticed, as have late-night TV hosts. Democrats are announcing congressional campaigns to “unf— the country,” and because their party needs to “grow a f—ing spine.” On social media, Ways and Means Democrats responded to the White House’s reaction to tariff news with this: “To f— around is human, to find out is divine.”
After a House Judiciary Committee vote Wednesday, California Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell took to Instagram to decry it in no uncensored terms. “That’s a dictatorship. It’s a f—ing dictatorship when you allow a president to deport your own constituents,” he said.
Democrats have even started seasoning press releases with salty language. “Boyle Calls Bullshit on Republican Budget Lies,” was the subject line of an email from House Budget ranking member Brendan F. Boyle of Pennsylvania. And he wasn’t the first to pepper a written statement — normally a milquetoast medium — with a soupçon of swearing. When Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth demanded Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth resign over Signalgate, she called him “a f*cking liar.” (She toned it down with a well-placed asterisk, but the other bleep-outs are mine.)
