MEDIA LOSER: Democratic strategist Kurt Bardella Democratic Party strategist Kurt Bardella suggested Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) might have to resort to online pornography if she fails to win reelection. Bardella made the crude and sexist joke on MSNBC’s The ReidOut as he discussed Boebert’s too-close-to-call race against Democrat Adam Frisch. Yes, Bardella made the poor excuse for a joke on-air, and actually dared to utter it in front of two women -- host Joy Reid and former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO). Unintentionally setting Bardella up, Reid asked the strategist what it would mean if Boebert, “the second most popular QAnon congressperson in MAGA" lost the election, especially as her restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, closed this year. “I guess it might be a gain for OnlyFans,” Bardella responded. Reid laughed while the comment appeared to genuinely stun McCaskill. As it should, McCaskill, as it should. OnlyFans is a subscription service where users post content that is often sexual in nature. The service is often suggested as a revenue source to insult struggling young women. Despite McCaskill's shock, neither she nor Reid, both self-proclaimed feminists, commented on the sexist undertones of Bardella’s comment. Not to mention that putting down OnlyFans as something shameful or embarrassing is pretty lame in itself -- it's almost 2023, Bardella, keep up. Bardella has since apologized, vowing to be "more thoughtful about my words in the future," adding, "It is NEVER my intention to shame women. I apologize. Period." He did, however, use the apology to further attack conservatives. |
