The GOP, also known as the party of hypocrisy, prides itself on being just a mean-spirited bunch of bullies and no one exemplifies that sordid reality more than Matthew Continetti, the editor-in-chief of the Washington Free Beacon. Hillary Clinton Derangement Syndrome is practically its own section in the third rate tabloid, and nothing is sacred, not even the joyful announcement by Bill and Hillary's only daughter, Chelsea, that she is pregnant with their second grandchild. Here's how this publication felt compelled to announce the news.

For the party that seems to value the fetus as the most sacred part of life, you'd think that these hate-mongers would try to hide their disdain for an unborn child in the powerful Democratic family a little better than that. But let's not forget, Continetti is married to Ann Kristol, Bloody Bill's daughter, and this is just the sort of cry for attention that daddy-in-law will notice. This might be worth a little more scratch in the Bloody Bill's will, perhaps.

The word 'spawn' has, by far, the most negative connotations.

The only word in the list that has an out-and-out negative connotation is spawn. Literally the eggs of aquatic creatures, spawn is used figuratively as both noun and verb to suggest that the progeny spoken of is undesirable.

Because spawn is frequently used to refer to demons, as in “hell-spawn” and “spawn of the devil,” the word has become popular in the world of comics and novels about the forces of good and evil.

Chelsea tweeted,

In addition to maligning an unborn child, there had to be a dig at the age of Hillary and the timing of the birth, as if Secretary Clinton planned the whole thing herself to help her on the campaign trail. Just pathetic.

Chelsea’s second child will, therefore, be born just months before the conclusion of the 2016 presidential election.

Chelsea gave birth to her first daughter Charlotte, Hillary Clinton’s first grandchild, in September 2014.

Hillary Clinton is currently 68 years old.

This is petty and disgusting, even for the Free Beacon. We've come to expect nothing less from these people and they will likely continue to appeal to the basest savage instincts of their 'readers.'
