The Left has, of course, lost their freaking minds (more than usual) over Trump’s comments about the Fraud Squad, particularly Ilhan Omar, which to be honest isn’t exactly all that Twitchy worthy. Oh, look, more shrieking and accusations of racism, wow, that’s never happened before.

Right?

But what is interesting is watching some on the Right condemn anyone who isn’t condemning Trump, once again falling into the ‘we have to be better’ rules that don’t seem at all fair when we’re in a fight to protect and defend not only this country but our way of life.

@Mellecon wrote a pretty damn powerful thread on ‘the rules’:

Small Rant before I log off: "We're supposed to be better than that." That's a delusion I've held onto for year. I held on to it when Bush was called Hitler — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

I held on to it when they made fun of McCain's inability to use his arms and while I watched him be civil to people who called him a racist. — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

Yikes.

We forgot about that one.

I held on to it while they destroy health insurance, and called everyone a racist if you said anything critical of President Obama. — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

I held on to it when they fired a rodeo clown, and when they accused Romney of killing a woman with cancer. — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

Don’t forget his evil binders of women!

I held on to it when Hillary Clinton called people deplorable, and when the left made the Trump voters a collective. — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

Told you this was good.

Keep going.

I held on to it when I refused to vote for Trump both in the primary and in the general. I held on to it when they accused a good man of sexual assault — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

I held on to it when a VA governor who wore black face was not held accountable, neither was the Lt. Governor investigated for sexual abuse allegations or the Va AG also wore black face. — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

*admit it, you’re nodding your head as you read this*

Now there is a contingent of anti-semites in Congress and people who put target on good men and women in ICE and CBP. — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

Fraud Squad.

I find I'm not better than them. I'm sick of being called a racist. I'm sick of being called a stepford wife with internal misogyny. I'm sick of being called an Islamophobe. — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

Amen.

The only way I can be better than them is to lose, because they don't fight fair. So, I no longer want to be better than them. My children's future depends on it. — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

They absolutely do NOT fight fair.

If you want to stick to "principles" and "being better" I respect that, but in ten years don't wonder how the country descended in to socialism. You've been warned. pic.twitter.com/DTSEEmsHB7 — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) July 17, 2019

In other words, IT’S SO ON.

And you know what? We’re seeing a whole lot more of THIS from people on the Right than the shaming and poo-poo’ing the media is highlighting.

If they want to fight dirty maybe it’s time to fight dirty.
