Confirmed: Heidi Heitkamp is in deep lutefisk.
Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D., N.D.) rejected former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's assertion that liberals should do away with civility until after they beat Republicans at the ballot box.
"You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about," Clinton told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an interview.
Because when you're in political danger, the very first thing you need to do is to put as much distance as you possibly can between yourself and a certain babbling old crone.
"I'm wondering what you think about that idea, that you can't be civil, given the rhetoric coming from the Republicans. Can Democrats, should Democrats not be civil with Republicans?" CNN's Anderson Cooper asked Heitkamp in part of a Tuesday interview that did not make it to the airwaves.
"Well, that's ridiculous," Heitkamp responded. "I can't imagine how you get anything done if you don't bring civility back into politics."
When you were on the wrong side of a recent controversy which seems to be resonating a whole lot deeper than I honestly thought it was going to, you desperately need to say things like this.
"And that goes for both sides, ratchet down the rhetoric. I hope that we can find common ground in this country that sexual assault is more prominent than people thought it was," she continued, redirecting the conversion to allegations made against Brett Kavanaugh. The Senate confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court on Saturday, without the support of Heitkamp.
Yup. I'm not liking your chances, Double H. Hope you have a job lined up.
