The Lincoln Project took the high road at 9:10 a.m., tweeting that 9/11 is a “reminder that we are all Americans first”:
On 9/11/2001, it wasn’t democrats or republicans that were attacked, but the United States.
Today is a reminder that we are all Americans first.

And then at 11:50 a.m., the crapped all over the meaning of today and attacked President Trump with this ad:
There has been a tradition where political ads are pulled down on 9/11.
But never before have we had a president who attacked the men and women who rose to defend our country, calling them suckers and losers.
This ad is necessary to remind Americans of the character of Trump. pic.twitter.com/96bONFPBQc

“Zero class”:

LOL:
The Lincoln Project's entire selling point was that they're GOP ad guys who make great ads. The account slowly turned into #Resistance memes and repurposing other people's tweets/videos without credit. Now they're finally like, "Fuck it, you make the ads for us." It's beautiful. https://t.co/fbWfQmKPdQ
