Biden's deputy chief of staff calls for unity while trashing Republicans as "a bunch of f***ers"

The campaign manager and now deputy chief of staff for President-elect Joe Biden trashed Republicans as "a bunch of f***ers" recently even as she called for compromise between Democrats and Republicans over the next four years.

Speaking with Glamour magazine in an interview published Tuesday, Jen O'Malley Dillon — who served as campaign manager for former Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke in 2020 before eventually heading up Biden's campaign — praised the president-elect for his dreamy insistence on unity.

"The president-elect was able to connect with people over this sense of unity. 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***ers. Mitch McConnell is terrible," she explained. "But this sense that you couldn't wish for that, you couldn't wish for this bipartisan ideal? He rejected that. From start to finish, he set out with this idea that unity was possible, that together we are stronger, that we, as a country, need healing, and our politics needs that too."

O'Malley Dillon, who last month was promoted to deputy chief of staff for the incoming Biden administration, added that compromise will be essential for American politics moving forward.
