After the tasteless display at “Nerd Prom” last night, more than one person on Twitter made the point that the left just handed a whole lot of campaign ad material to the right.

After tonight’s WHCD debacle, the GOP message until November should be “They Hate You,” featuring nothing but clips of Hillary/Schumer/Pelosi/Colleges/Media mocking and attacking heartland voters. “They hate you and want to control you. Don’t let them win.”

RNC should be running this clip as an ad tomorrow morning. https://t.co/TpgbiWp68N

In case you were wondering what they are talking about, here is a blessedly brief sample.

And you know who realizes just how bad this was for the left? The media.

Apology is owed to @PressSec and others grossly insulted ny Michelle Wolf at White House Correspondents Assoc dinner which started with uplifting heartfelt speech by @margarettalev – comedian was worst since Imus insulted Clinton’s

No, really.

That @PressSec sat and absorbed intense criticism of her physical appearance, her job performance, and so forth, instead of walking out, on national television, was impressive.

Watching a wife and mother be humiliated on national television for her looks is deplorable. I have experienced insults about my appearance from the president. All women have a duty to unite when these attacks happen and the WHCA owes Sarah an apology.

The WHCD should be about honoring the best in journalism. Enough with the comedians, enough with the late-night parties. These are serious times for both the free press and the public they serve.

Women who use their government positions to spread lies and misinformation deserve to face the same withering criticism as men. But leave our looks out of it. Watching from home, I hurt for Sarah, her husband and her children.

— Mika Brzezinski (@morningmika) April 29, 2018

But get the popcorn, because the left is not united on this at all.

This is fake news spread by Maggie Haberman. Michelle Wolf said, “Sarah Sanders burns facts and uses the ashes to create her perfect smokey eyes.” That is hardly an ad hominem attack. #whcd https://t.co/U6B5ymOw6r

Except Wolf really did say it.

Why are you guys making this about Sarah’s looks? I said she burns facts and uses the ash to create a *perfect* smoky eye. I complimented her eye makeup and her ingenuity of materials. https://t.co/slII9TYdYx

— Michelle Wolf (@michelleisawolf) April 29, 2018

The gaslighting continues.
She was actually ***complimenting*** her, dontcha know. https://t.co/N30V1dCn5h

Here’s my big problem w/ @michelleisawolf & her defenders. They won’t even admit the jokes mocked @PressSec’s looks (calling her Aunt Lydia from Handmaid’s Tale, a lesbian softball coach reference, mocking her makeup, etc.). Defend the jokes — but don’t be a coward & gaslight me. pic.twitter.com/NPHFn0AS2V

The GOP, if they have any brains in their PR Department, will start making ads using these clips from the White House Correspondents Dinner, along with clips of Nancy Pelosi’s “crumbs” and many other examples to get the voters motivated. If the midterms are all about turn out, then whoever gets the most turnout will win.

You just got a whole lot of material to use, Republicans. Do you have the smarts to use it?
