Republicans are predictably aggrieved by the public acknowledging how off-putting their behavior is. Right-wing wraith and Fox News host Laura Ingraham spent an entire segment of her show trying desperately to paint Harris as the weird one. “Dems: The Real Party of Weird,” read the chyron under her rant.

Vivek Ramaswamy stomped his feet and called the talking point “dumb & juvenile,” only to have Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez break down how “super weird” conservatives are these days.

“Being obsessed with repressing women is goofy,” the New York Democrat tweeted. “Trying to watch what LGBTQ+ people do all the time is abnormal. Punishing people who don’t have biological offspring is creepy.”

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio weighed in on the matter Tuesday, saying, “They called us weird so I’ll call them weirder. That’s what I used to do back in high school.” His I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I defense is undercut by the fact that he and other conservatives spent hours whining about how a five-minute segment of a nearly four-hour Olympics opening ceremony ruined the entire Olympics for them.

It looks like the National Republican Senatorial Committee might be right: Pointing out how “weird” your opponent is might indeed be a winning message.
