MSNBC forced into 7-second delay after GOP strategist's expletive-filled rant

GOP strategist Rick Wilson was abruptly muted for seven seconds during an appearance on MSNBC after going on an expletive-filled rant about President Trump and his supporters on Monday morning. When asked by MSNBC co-host John Heilemann during the program how the president can continue to “genuinely boast” about his high approval ratings among his party, Wilson said in response: “Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.” “They love the fact that Donald Trump finally gives them this sort of id of the Republican Party,”

1. LOL

you go, Rick Wilson

[DetlefK]

2. Is that expression from the comedy-skit with Dave Chapelle and Rick James? Or is it older?

[oberliner]

6. Robin Williams used that expression a lot back in the day

But I think most people quoting it now are doing so because of the Dave Chapelle skit.

8. That's straight up Rick James.

And yes, from Chapelle's show.

3. Well, Crap!

I thought this was about the white powder Jr. get in the mail.

Hair Furor would approve!

4. Is Rick Wilson still a "GOP strategist" ?

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Well, Probably Not Now!

He might have disinvited himself to the party.

9. On Twitter he replied, "If you call that an expletive filled rant

you don’t know me very well.”

BTW his new book is “Everything Trump Touches Dies”.

Title of the year. 😂

10. Kudlow can attest

11. Last month,

Wilson said that Trump supporters "want anyone who’s darker than a latte deported" on CNN while also arguing that some in the administration enjoy seeing migrant kids being separated from their families.

Such a rare wit, something we don't usually see in republicans.

12. I'm really liking Rick Wilson these days

"Wilson later took to Twitter shortly after the broadcast to share what he said that had been censored by MSNBC.

“I said ‘Washington is full of profiles in chickenshit. You and I both get calls from members of Congress who say I can't stand this asshole,’” Wilson said in a tweet."

I love the "profiles in chickenshit" phrase! The description really fits the Republican ninnies in congress who are so petrified of Trump. "Expletive-filled" seems a bit like an overstatement though. Oh dear, the republicans are swooning and carrying on because he said two fairly mild swear words? Big deal!
