Republicans mocked after marking Presidents Day by insulting Biden – and praising Nixon and Trump

A Presidents’ Day joke from the official Republican Party Twitter feed has been ridiculed for disrespecting Joe Biden while hailing Richard Nixon as among the “great US presidents”.

Borrowing the meme of the “not you” grid, the party singled out eight past Republican presidents for praise: Abraham Lincoln, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight Eisenhower, Nixon, Ronald Reagan, both George Bushes, and of course, Donald Trump.

The reaction to the bizarrely pro-Nixon message was swift and caustic

Never good when you have to pick 8 of your party’s best presidents and two are impeached, two are one term, and one would have been a Democrat today. https://t.co/CJy8k8Inak

Maybe should have put in Ford instead of the guy who resigned from office in disgrace. https://t.co/rns79vgXpJ

It says something that the GOP today chooses to celebrate Trump but not US Grant, the GOP president who led the fight against the Klan and created the Department of Justice. https://t.co/3SJl8i9UMj
