To the January 6 insurrectionists:
"I regret that the heads and bodies of police officers got in the way of your truncheons and flagpoles while you were engaging in Legitimate Political Discourse at the Capitol. I hope that you didn’t hurt your fingers while gouging their eyes, and that their blood didn’t stain your tactical assault gear; if it did, please send me the dry-cleaning bill! I am so sorry that, on your Normal Tourist Visit, you didn’t get to use your noose or all the guns stockpiled at the Comfort Inn in Alexandria. Please forgive me for previously quibbling with your plan to “hang Mike Pence” and your use of the Confederate flag in the halls of Congress. I apologize that you had to break windows and doors, climb scaffolding and rappel into the Senate chamber. My bad! Next time you want to overthrow an American election, just knock."

To the MAGA Republican "semi-fascists":
"I’m
so sorry you’ve convinced millions of people to believe the egregious
lie that the 2020 election was stolen. I’m sorry you are making heroes
of the criminals who attacked our seat of government. I’m sorry you’re currently fomenting violence against the FBI and the IRS. I’m sorry you’re passing laws giving yourselves more power to overthrow the 2024 election results if you lose, and I’m sorry you’re nominating candidates committed to doing so. I’m sorry you don’t like it when the Justice Department enforces the law and protects national security. I’m sorry you’ve lionized Hungarian strongman Viktor Orban, and I’m sorry you say that the Democratic Party, not Vladimir Putin’s Russia, is the real enemy. I regret that you’ve taken away women’s rights. I regret that you’re banning books and censoring history lessons. I regret that you are shunning science, expertise and
the truth. Above all, I’m truly sorry that, because of such things,
Biden called you semi-fascists. There’s really nothing 'semi' about it." -- Dana Milbank in the Washington Post responding to the Malignant Loser's saying the country would apologize to the January 6 insurrectionists should he become President again, and to odious lickspittle Rep. Kevin McCarthy's (Sedition-CA) demand that President Biden apologize for rightfully calling MAGA Republicans "semi-fascists." If only the timid, equivocating editorial board of the Post had the same understanding of what the times demand (hint: ffs, President Biden wasn't out to persuade MAGA Republicans).
BONUS: Don't miss Alexandra Petri's hilarious take on the "non-polarizing speech" President Biden should have made. Also, fellow Post-er Greg Sargent's twitter take.
