As we told you, on garbage person Joy Reid’s garbage MSNBC show last night, Lincoln Project alumnus and fellow garbage person Kurt Bardella took a misogynistic and all-around gross swipe at GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert, whose re-election status is uncertain.

Get it? Get it? Conservative Partnership Institute policy director and Federalist tech columnist Rachel Bovard was rightly disgusted, and she called out Reid as well as former Democratic senator and current NBC/MSNBC analyst Claire McCaskill for letting Bardella get away with his disgusting remarks:

For what it’s worth, McCaskill is defending herself this morning:
I did not chortle. And I sure as hell am not gonna be lectured on hypocrisy by any “conservative” who supported Trump and his minions. https://t.co/lcgx8YZ7WZ

Her first point is actually fair. If you watch the video, McCaskill’s response is more of a jaw drop with the corners of her mouth upturned. Not technically a chortle, but an open mouth with a hint of a smile.

As far as the second part is concerned, though, the “I sure as hell am not gonna be lectured on hypocrisy by any ‘conservative’ who supported Trump and his minions” bit, well, she can take that part and shove it. Plenty of conservatives who didn’t support Trump (and who may not even support Boebert) are still calling her out on her hypocrisy.

In other words, when your side does it, it's okay.
Believe me, we know who you are.

You enabled Kurt's misogyny. Own it.

Own it, Claire.
Do you have anything to say about the repulsive, misogynistic and creepy comments made right in front of you by @kurtbardella, and the way that @JoyAnnReid almost laughed herself to death in response, or will you just scream about Trump and Fox as a way of avoiding commenting?

She’ll just scream about Trump and Fox as a way of avoiding commenting.
She's been so bitter since Missouri voters finally saw through her act and gave her the boot. https://t.co/nvIlrGvzYT

And not a moment too soon.
Really solid argument there, Claire. So apparently, because some generic voter supported Trump, likely for his policies, that means that gross sexism pointed at Republican women is fine.
I can see why you lost your job in the Senate. https://t.co/TRIK44eEeC

… and landed at MSNBC where she could shrug off or smile at blatant sexism and misogyny.
Another reason to #DumpTrump: He's a convenient excuse for these hacks to behave just like him. https://t.co/tdTlwHNvkA

You have become what you profess to hate, Claire. Just like the rest of the Resistance. Enjoy the company.
