Rick Wilson Eviscerated After Calling Out 2012 Domino’s Tweet
When people play the “let’s dig up old tweets” game, it typically doesn’t end well. Just ask Rick Wilson.
The former GOP strategist and Lincoln Project advisor gaslighted Domino’s on Tuesday for an innocent reply tweet to current White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany that was sent on November 8, 2012. McEnany was a 24-year-old producer for the “Mike Huckabee Show” on Fox News when she composed the tweet.
@kayleighmcenany That's one heck of a compliment! Thanks for the love! #WEAPPRECIATEIT!

After Wilson tweeted that Domino’s had “killed” their brand, Domino’s hit back.
“It’s unfortunate that thanking a customer for a compliment back in 2012 would be viewed as political,” the multinational pizza chain replied. “Guess that’s 2020 for ya.”
Welp. It's unfortunate that thanking a customer for a compliment back in 2012 would be viewed as political. Guess that's 2020 for ya.

Wilson’s attempt to “cancel” Domino’s backfired in epic proportions. Social media users dug up old tweets and Instagram posts involving Wilson like he had done to Domino’s.
In 2014, his wife allegedly posted an Instagram photo on a boat that contained a cooler with a Confederate flag and read “The South Will Rise Again.” Wilson did not respond to this reporter for comment.
Hi @TheRickWilson, not sure if you realize, but your wife posted this on Instagram. May want to delete that one too! pic.twitter.com/ISg1xUVS1u

Wilson is the same guy who mocked Southerners on CNN earlier this year.
This clip of Rick Wilson, Don Lemon and Wajahat Ali mocking Trump and his voters will 100% be in a commercial that helps us to re-elect @realDonaldTrump. Ironically it’ll be the 1st time Rick Wilson actually helped a Republican win a Presidential election.pic.twitter.com/PaU6sB2WAs

But it didn’t stop there. Here are some more posts people dug up.

If we're going to talk about old social media posts that can be viewed as problematic. Hey Rick, why are you using my people's culture to mock the jobs people take? https://t.co/sSh0b7ePDt pic.twitter.com/HpwvzRdQDr

3 weeks in to the #Trayvon controversy. This is about the time Al Sharpton starts talking about "white interlopers" or "diamond cutters"

Wilson ignored the backlash and continued to tweet on Tuesday and Wednesday.
I don't want to know. https://t.co/OTEK77x3Fl

How mature for a 56-year-old.
The United States Treasury Department has denied Republicans’ request for reports and documents which deal with the President’s son, Hunter Biden. In a bizarre response, Treasury legislative affairs chief Jonathan Davidson sent a letter to the House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer saying they need more detail as to why the panel its seeking such “highly sensitive information.”
Apparently suspicious activity surrounding the President of the United States’ son doing business deals, foreign banking and transactions with overseas entities including China and Ukraine is not obvious enough.
Davidson’s letter did not acknowledge whether such reports on the Bidens exist, but instructed Comer that “improper disclosure” of such information can undermine the executive branch’s “conduct of law enforcement, intelligence, and national security activities.”
Comer responded that “this coordinated effort by the Biden Administration to hide information about President Biden and his family’s shady business schemes is alarming and raises many questions.”
Comer added the panel will continue to request the reports and will use “the power of the gavel to get them if needed.”
Bloomberg News reports:
Comer and other Republicans already said they have evidence that finances, credit cards, and bank accounts of Hunter and Joe Biden were commingled if not shared.
And in an interim report released in November, Republicans surmised that the Treasury Department has at least 150 SARs related to financial transactions of Biden family members.
Nonetheless, in his letter to Yellen, Comer explained, “The Committee is investigating President Biden’s knowledge of and role in these schemes to assess whether he has compromised our national security at the expense of the American people.”
Comer added the committee also “will examine drafting legislation to strengthen federal ethics laws regarding employees and their families.”
