        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s been a really bad last few weeks for the Never Trumpers at the “Lincoln Project” PAC.</p><p>Not only did the Atlantic do a brutal takedown of their financial activities, but Lincoln Project adviser Rick Wilson’s attempt last month at canceling Domino’s Pizza over a years-old tweet to Kayleigh McEnany backfired big time when others dug up Instagram posts of his that <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://twitter.com/RBPundit/status/1272968334003392516" target="_blank">contained pictures</a> of a Confederate cooler with the slogan “the South will rise again” on it.</p><p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Not sure how an organization called &quot;The Lincoln Project&quot; could have as one of its principals a guy who proudly displayed the Confederate Flag on his boat.<br><br>How does that work, <a href="https://twitter.com/ProjectLincoln?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ProjectLincoln</a>? Anyone? <a href="https://twitter.com/gtconway3d?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@gtconway3d</a>? <a href="https://twitter.com/SteveSchmidtSES?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SteveSchmidtSES</a>?<br><br>Anyone? <a href="https://t.co/BYcGkTuEZ0">https://t.co/BYcGkTuEZ0</a></p>&mdash; RBe (@RBPundit) <a href="https://twitter.com/RBPundit/status/1272968334003392516?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 16, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <p>What made it especially humiliating for the Lincoln Project was that not long before that they had released an <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/500428-george-conway-group-targets-trump-over-blatant-racism-in-new-ad" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">error-filled ad</a> decrying President Trump for the people who allegedly bring Confederate flags to his rallies.</p><p>The Lincoln Project’s latest self-own came this past Friday, when they took issue with a photo of President Trump saluting during the pre-Independence Day <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.redstate.com/nick-arama/2020/07/04/trump-delivers-the-mount-rushmore-speech-we-needed-to-hear/" target="_blank">festivities</a> at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Because apparently they find displays of patriotism from Trump upsetting, here’s what they tweeted:</p><p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Civilians don’t salute. <a href="https://t.co/W0LL3C46yn">pic.twitter.com/W0LL3C46yn</a></p>&mdash; The Lincoln Project (@ProjectLincoln) <a href="https://twitter.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1279240624080859136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 4, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <p>Except, ya know, there’s that whole “Commander in Chief” thing they conveniently forgot:</p><p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This is the problem with schools today! 😪<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CommanderInChief?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CommanderInChief</a> <a href="https://t.co/xTaSAgxPqH">pic.twitter.com/xTaSAgxPqH</a></p>&mdash; Truckster1 🇺🇸❌ (@truckster1) <a href="https://twitter.com/truckster1/status/1279412165833715712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 4, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">But commanders in chief do: <a href="https://t.co/tgOPdBEGqP">pic.twitter.com/tgOPdBEGqP</a></p>&mdash; Phineas Fahrquar (@irishspy) <a href="https://twitter.com/irishspy/status/1279450564078694401?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 4, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">You are a bunch of morons. <br><br>That the Commander in Chief of the US military. <br><br>Deep, huh? <br><br>BTW check this out: <a href="https://t.co/UuQZVaS40w">pic.twitter.com/UuQZVaS40w</a></p>&mdash; Brian Cates //Flynn &amp; Breitbart&#39;s Army!

It’s like they just can’t help themselves.</p><p>Normally I’d recommend groups like the Lincoln Project delete their Twitter accounts to spare themselves from further humiliation, but it’s just too much fun dunking on these clowns.</p><p><em>(Hat tip: Brad Slager at <a href="https://twitchy.com/brads-313037/2020/07/04/the-historical-simpletons-at-the-lincoln-project-think-they-had-a-slam-dunk-on-president-trump-saluting-and-instead-end-up-on-injured-reserve/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitchy</a>)</em></p>]]></content:encoded>
