Fox News: Biden's White House senior adviser called ‘Squad’ members ‘f---ing idiots’: book
By Houston Keene, Cameron Cawthorne, Andrew Murray
Richmond had been targeted by the progressive activist group the Sunrise Movement over his fossil fuel industry ties and was not too happy with Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib and the other "Squad" members, going as far as to call them "f---ing idiots."
An excerpt of the new book, "This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future" by Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin, obtained by Fox News Digital writes that Richmond, a former House member, made the comments about Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., to a friend.
Counselor to the President Steve Ricchetti also had words for "the Squad," albeit less harsh than Richmond, telling a Capitol Hill Biden ally that the "problem with the left is they don’t understand that they lost."
The reporters’ new book also delves into first lady Jill Biden’s frustration with Vice President Kamala Harris being tapped for the position after attacking Biden in the 2019 Democratic primary debates.
