President-elect Joseph R. Biden’s deputy chief of staff, Jen O’Malley Dillon, is getting roasted by conservatives on Twitter after she called Republican Congress members “f kers” while in the same breath calling for unity during a new interview with Glamour magazine.
“The president-elect was able to connect with people over this sense of unity,” Ms. O’Malley Dillon, who formerly served as Mr. Biden campaign manager, said in an interview published Tuesday. “In the primary, people would mock him, like, ‘You think you can work with Republicans?’ I’m not saying they’re not a bunch of f kers. Mitch McConnell is terrible. But this sense that you couldn’t wish for that, you couldn’t wish for this bipartisan ideal? He rejected that.
“Joseph Epstein had it exactly right in his Wall Street Journal article,” said Peter Wood, president of the National Association of Scholars. “He had the temerity to say aloud what almost every academic, and lots of other people, know but seldom say.”
Mr. Epstein’s column began, “Madame First Lady Mrs. Biden Jill kiddo: a bit of advice on what may seem like a small but I think is a not unimportant matter. Any chance you might drop the ‘Dr.’ before your name?”
National Review correspondent Kevin D. Williamson said that Mr. Epstein “made the perfectly obvious point that ‘Dr.’ Jill Biden is showing bad form,” while RedState’s Nick Arama said it was “generally considered pretentious” for Ph.D.s to use the “Dr.” title outside academic settings.
Whether he bans leasing or drilling on public lands the federal government owns nearly half of the land in the 11 continental Western states Mr. Gordon said that “the economic predictions are devastating, to be blunt, to Wyoming.”
“These funds fund our schools, fund the important work we do for wildlife, mitigation corridors, the work we’ve done to do a better job on drilling, really advance all of our production efforts and technologies,” the Republican governor said during a virtual press conference.
The report comes with Mr. Biden under pressure from the environmental left to make good on his promise to prioritize emissions reductions after four years of the Trump administration’s fossil fuel-friendly policies, which saw the nation achieve net energy independence for the first time since 1957.
