Needless to say, Republican panties are in a bunch:

Democratic Senate nominee Katie McGinty got into some hot water Monday when she called her rival, Sen. Pat Toomey, an “asshole.”

It was a shocking comment given the decorous attitude Senate candidates usually try to adopt.

But McGinty got caught up in the moment during a press conference on raising the minimum wage to $15.

Egged on by Chris Shelton, the salty tongued president of Communication Workers of America who blasted the current $7.25 per hour minimum wage as “bullshit,” McGinty chimed in with some blue language of her own.

“I think I might borrow from Chris’s speech there in terms of Pat Toomey. He’s an asshole, dammit,” she said, prompting laughs and applause from the audience.

But Republicans were not amused.

They never are. ‘Nuff said.
