Another example of Democratic disunity was courtesy of a “F*ck you!” from a “Morning Joe” regular when he faced off against President Joe Biden's campaign trail.

In addition to welcoming throngs of Hamas sympathizers, advocates of the killing of unborn babies and radical Marxists, the host city of the Democratic National Convention was expected to be flooded with protesters throughout the week. Kicking off a week of extremism on all sides of the convention, Biden was expected to set the stage to favor Vice President Kamala Harris, a matter that allies were frustrated about.

That included MSNBC contributor Mike Barnicle who, according to an Axios report, had some fiery words for a White House aide in President Barack Obama's administration.

“Isn't it great that that f*cking boy finally realized he had to quit?” The unnamed official told Biden supporter and friend Barnicle after meeting him at Boston's Fenway Park, prompting the response, “What guy?!”

“Joe Biden!” the former aide was said to have responded.

Before leaving, the “Morning Joe” regular chimed in: “You know something? Shit! And screw all your friends with their anonymous newspaper quotes. Put your name on it next time!”

The report went on to preview expectations for Biden's “passing the torch” speech to Harris at the DNC after the president himself apparently admitted that speculation that he had been the victim of a stroke was correct.

During his first interview after dropping out of the race, Biden had told CBS News' Bob Costa, “The polls that we had shown it was a neck-and-neck race, it would have been down to the wire.”

“But what happened was that some of my Democratic colleagues in the House and the Senate thought it would hurt their races. And I was worried that if I stayed in the race, that would be the issue,” he said. explained. “And I was worried that if I stayed in the race, that would be the issue, you would interview me why [California Rep.] Nancy Pelosi said, why did she do that, and I thought that would be a real distraction.”

Running with the narrative about the vice president's name change, which was viewed so unfavorably that she dropped out of the 2020 Democratic primary before a single vote had been cast, axes reported: “On the opening day of their convention, Democrats are ecstatic, giddy about how far Harris has come in the 29 days since Biden retired. But among some in Biden's inner circle, there surprise at how instantly Harris became a famous and glamorous star… Some Biden stalwarts blame the press for forcing him out and are now seething at what they see as fawning coverage of Harris.”

Meanwhile, the outlet went on to say that Biden had been made aware of Barnicle's comments to the unnamed aide: “A source familiar with Biden's reaction to the story told us, 'He might still be laughing.'
