After newly sworn-in Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) pledged to impeach that motherf**ker, referring to President Donald Trump , during a progressive rally Thursday night, Republican lawmakers on Friday immediately turned up the outrage machine.

Youve had very foul language used, said House GOP chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), whose dad, former Vice President Dick Cheney, in 2004 told Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) to fuck yourself while the two were on the Senate floor for a group photo.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) also condemned Tlaibs remarks as wrong, and lauded the previous Republican freshman class because they put a resolution together to actually work with one another, to not use foul language.

Some Democrats also took aim at Tlaib, like House Judiciary chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.).

I dont like that language, he said on CNN . More to the point, I disagree with what she said. It is too early to talk about that intelligently. We have to follow the facts and get the facts.

But as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) pointed out Friday, Trump himself regularly uses explicit language.

Im not in the censorship business. I dont like that language, I wouldnt use that language, but I wouldnt establish language standards for my colleagues, Pelosi told MSNBC Friday , when asked about Tlaibs comments, before adding that I dont think its anything worse than what the president has said.

A reminder of just some of what the president of the United States has said: he referred to Haiti and several African nations as shithole countries, called NFL player and anti-police brutality activist Colin Kaepernick a son of a bitch, and infamously bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.

Here's the entire compilation of Trump swearing up a fucking storm.

But most Republican lawmakers, aside from sometimes calling Trumps language very unfortunate and briefly expressing some concern, routinely shrug it off or look the other way.

On Friday, a reporter asked McCarthy if any of his GOP colleagues called out the president for that type of language, referencing the time Trump characterized Stormy Daniels to whom he allegedly directed his then-personal attorney Michael Cohen to pay campaign money to silence his extramarital affair with her as Horseface (among many other times Trump has made derogatory comments about a womans appearance).

I think a lot of them did in that process, McCarthy replied.

Then-House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) gave Trump what amounted to a wrist slap, telling CBS News that he should not have said that.

I think its unacceptable. I disagree with the rhetoric. Ive disagreed with the presidents rhetoric numerous times when it comes to how he addresses women, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) added in the same interview, before arguing that GOP voters are instead really paying attention to, both male and female voters, the record of results.
