For those who remember Trump’s tweets from back in the pre-pandemic, pre-insurrection days of 2019, one of the more pathetic moments of the twice-impeached one-term loser’s four debt-ballooning years in office was when he attacked John Legend and his “foul-mouthed wife” on Twitter.
The tweet was standard fare from the aging pervert Trump, but the incident became more memorable when Teigen tweeted back: “lol what a pussy ass bitch. tagged everyone but me. an honor, mister president.”
The incident is back in the news because of some otherwise uninteresting hearings today about a private citizen’s laptop and a social media platform that used its First Amendment rights to moderate some unverified content being pushed by extremist trolls and political operatives.
The news that stood out today was not that Chrissy Teigen called Trump a “pussy-ass bitch” (although that is now part of the Congressional record).
The news was that the Trump White House “immediately reached out to Twitter, demanding the tweet be taken down.”
So, thanks to Gym Jordan and the House GOP, we can now say without a shadow of a doubt that: a) Chrissy Teigen was right; and b) The only President violating Americans’ First Amendment rights was #PresidentPAB himself.
Funny how Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss missed this.
