During an MSNBC panel on “The Reid Out,” a DNC adviser had an inappropriate comment regarding GOP Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
On Wednesday night, MSNBC host Joy Reid welcomed former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill and DNC adviser Kurt Bardella.
The panel was celebrating the potential defeat of Boebert as she is a strong leader in the freedom caucus of the house and one of MAGA’s biggest supporters.
Boebert was up over 350 votes, with 98% of the votes counted in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District when Reid asked her guests about Boebert’s post-political life.
“What’s the meaning if Lauren Boebert – the second most popular QAnon Congressperson in MAGA – what if she goes, what if she loses? And what job will she have? I don’t even think Shooters exists any more.”
Reid referred to Boebert’s restaurant shooters, which recently closed due to a lease disagreement in Rifle, Colorado.
“I guess it might be a gain for OnlyFans,” Bardella responded. “I don’t know what she would do in this scenario.”
OnlyFans is an adult website that produces adult content supported by a paywall.
The discern sparked laughter out of Reid while McCaskill was in disbelief.
“I think that symbolically to take out one of the poster childs of the MAGA movement – someone who has been an absolute disgrace to the office that she holds – would be a great feather in the cap.” Bardella continued. “And would, I think, cement the fact that this has been an absolute unmitigated disaster for the MAGA wing of the Republican Party.”

Twitter reacted to the panel as “sexist,” as many believe if such a comment were portrayed about a Democratic candidate, many would have their heads rolling.
Conservative personality CJ Pearson said, “So misogyny is ok, as long as it’s exclusively directed towards conservative woman?”
Journalist Glenn Greenwald stated, “Demeaning, creepy, sexualized things you get to say about female politicians if you’re doing so for the right cause and on the right liberal channel. Pick your most beloved liberal politician and imagine the uproar if this were said about them on Fox while the host giggled.”
Many came out in Boebert’s support of the awful comment Bardella made. He thought it was best to apologize for the comment, but only while bashing Trump supporters.
“I’ll be more thoughtful about my words in the future, Bardella tweeted. “It is NEVER my intention to shame women. I apologize. Period.”
“That said, I have zero appetite for the faux-outrage coming from MAGA-ites because we all know they don’t give a rip about sexism, misogny or equality,” he continued. “They are hypocrites of the first order. Just look at their standard-bearer.”
