‘Alina Habba Can Go F**k Herself!’ Never-Trump Rick Wilson Slams Trump Lawyer Over ‘Outrageous’ Rant
Never Trump activist and former Republican strategist Rick Wilson ripped Alina Habba — Counselor to President Donald Trump —during an appearance on Jim Acosta’s show, saying she “can go fuck herself!”
Wilson — who runs the anti-Trump Lincoln Project — and MSNBC analyst Molly Jong-Fast were guests on Thursday’s edition of the Substack video podcast The Jim Acosta Show, during which Acosta talked about a guest who lost her job in the Trump-DOGE cuts one of the tens of thousands of veterans who have been swept up.
Habba drew Wilson’s ire over her rant to reporters questioning the “fitness” of veterans who have been targeted by DOGE cuts:
JIM ACOSTA: She got an email on President’s Day that said, you’re out. That’s it. You’re done. I mean, what a disgusting, disgraceful way to treat our veterans. And it just bugs the shit out of me, just bugs the living shit out of me!
RICK WILSON: You know, one of the things we lost in this country, I think, under Trump is because there’s always the crisis, always a drama, always a horror. We’ve almost become like, like inured to something. We’ve almost kind of like, like numb to how bad this is.
But these things are truly grotesque. And it’s like the Republicans attacking Amy Coney Barrett because she voted in a legal case to not have shit in the water our kids drink.
JIM ACOSTA: Yeah.
RICK WILSON: It’s insane what the what their standard is now. It’s like you’ve got to be with the full program of arson and destruction of of everything that can help any American or. You’re not a faithful Trump supporter. It’s just it’s.
JIM ACOSTA: And then Alina Habba was over at the white House the other day and she said, well, maybe some of these veterans aren’t fit for work or aren’t fit for a job, and I’m thinking to myself–
RICK WILSON: And I was just like, as I probably said at the time or two of my life. Alina Habba can go fuck herself!
But I mean, that that was outrageous. And and again, if somebody in Barack Obama’s circle had said that–
MOLLY JONG-FAST: Had said that, forget it–
RICK WILSON: Fox News would’ve been on 24 hour a day coverage and there would be crowds in D.C. with pitchforks and torches.
JIM ACOSTA: That’s right.
MOLLY JONG-FAST: Why do Democrats hate veterans, right?
RICK WILSON: Yeah, right. Crazy.
