House Speaker John Boehner promised that if ObamaCare had been struck down today, there would be no “spiking of the football.” The DNC never made a similar commitment, and today in reaction to the Supreme Court’s ruling upholding the ObamaCare individual mandate — as a tax, despite President Obama’s solemn promise not to raise taxes on the middle class — the Democratic National Committee’s executive director Patrick Gaspard fired off the following tweet:
‘it’s constitutional. Bitches.’
Polls consistently find that a majority of Americans opposed ObamaCare when it passed. The DNC’s executive director punched that majority in the face with a profanity today.

Gaspard backtracked later, tweeting that he let his excitement get the better of him.
