Good.
“Shut up you ugly f—.” That’s what the Democratic Party’s official account told Stephen Miller, after he mocked a Senate candidate as “transgender” to insult his looks. And honestly? Good.
Here’s the full exchange, because context matters.
On Wednesday, the DNC posted a photo of Talarico, the Texas Senate candidate, with the caption “Fired up. Ready to go. It’s time to take back Texas.”
Stephen Miller, the architect of family separation and the cruelest immigration policies in modern memory, quote-tweeted it: “The Democrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender senate candidate,” needling Talarico over his appearance.
For the record, Talarico is not transgender. He’s a straight, cisgender Christian man with a girlfriend.
Miller knew that. The “joke” wasn’t really about Talarico. It was the same tired playbook: use “transgender” as a slur, treat an entire group of people as a punchline, and dehumanize for sport.
So the DNC fired back. “Shut up you ugly f—.”
Predictably, conservatives clutched their pearls. “WHAT THE F—? DEMOCRATS TURN TO PROFANITY INSTEAD OF POLICY,” screamed Fox News.
The party of “f— your feelings,” the people who turned cruelty into a brand and put it on hats and flags, suddenly discovered the importance of civility the moment someone gave it back.
Yes, some Democrats winced and called it embarrassing.
That’s the instinct that’s gotten the party steamrolled for a decade. The endless belief that if they’re just polite enough, dignified enough, the other side will play fair. It never does. Stephen Miller is not owed politeness. He’s owed exactly what he dishes out.
You cannot shame people who have no shame. You cannot out-civility a movement that mocks the dead, the disabled, and entire minorities for fun. Sometimes the only language a bully respects is being told to sit down.
For once, a Democrat didn’t bring a strongly worded statement to a knife fight.
More of this.
