Trump campaign lawyer Joe diGenova resigned from the elite Gridiron Club earlier this week after he suggested that a former cybersecurity official should be executed after touting a secure election and rebutting claims of widespread fraud made by President Donald Trump and his allies.
Joe you cancelled yourself. You got too caught up in the game, and you lost.
Now Joe’s remarks were made on Howie Carr’s show. And we’ve heard the clip of Joe being Joe, but did Howie push back? Did he laugh? Shouldn’t Howie bear some scrutiny?
During the Clinton administration a former friend threatened to kill me “when the race wars start.”
Threatening death is not a fucking joke.
You and your scumbag wife made a living trying to screw over public and political figures for decades.
Step in front of a bus. The both of you.
(How to make an extremist remark avoiding censure.)
My feeling is that diGenova should be stretch in the rack, locked in an Iron Maiden, and garroted at dawn… liked my joke? ha ha ha!!
Gee, Joe, if you’d have used your head you might have realized that with daddy donnie losing the election there can now be expected consequences for being a belligerent asshole.
At least decent Americans can hope so.
“It’s their club, and we’re at a strange time in American history, and, I guess I was canceled,” he said.
Paraphrasing @JoshMarshall, it would be pitiful if diGenova hadn’t long ago squandered any claim on our pity.
Well that’s good to know. He wasn’t screaming, he was bellowing at the top of his lungs.
Like the Allies cancelled the Axis powers on the beaches of Normandy.
I wonder if Idi Amin told everyone that the genocide was a joke?
Or Manson ? “Yeah, I was just goofing around. Didn’t mean Sharon Tate any harm. My followers didn’t get that I was joking…”
Joey, your remarks, like tRump’s, could lead to somebody being killed. It’s already happened. Social repudiation should be only the first step in your never-ending punishment. Same with Boss tRump and his whole gang.
Wait what? You’re not an just an aficionado of medieval corporal and capital punishment methods?
Every day in every way a bit more trump crap fades away.
Yes, Joe, “we’re at a strange time in American history” when threatening to murder a public official has consequences. At least, we’re trying to remove the Trump stench and get back to that point.
I mean, it’s almost like there are consequences to actions and words.
almost…
Any “club” that would have had DiGenova as a member in the first place, is no club I’d ever want to join.
Sorta h/t to Groucho…
See, if you’re forced to resign then maybe you did a shameful thing and the club doesn’t want to see your stupid face any more. But if you were “canceled,” well, that’s a bunch of liberal snowflakes who can’t take a funny funny joke about having someone shot just because we’re living through tense national circumstances your own scum friends have created that greatly exacerbate the threat of easily foreseen stochastic violence against the guy you said should be shot. Damn snowflakes OH I HATE THEM SO MUCH I WANT TO—um—haha.
He lives about a mile from me. Would it be wrong to walk my dog by there every day to give him a chance to shit on Joe’s lawn. In jest, of course.
Joe, your inflammatory rhetoric caught up with you and now you’ve been kicked out of a club. Boo hoo.
Prefer aneurysm-level bellowing if possible.
