DNC Staffer Wants to Send 'F*** You Emoji' to 'A**hole From Fox' Who Asked This Question

In a new email leak from within the Democratic National Committee released Friday, it became clear one staffer was incredibly infuriated when a reporter asked a question about Bill Clinton's past sexual promiscuity.

"Is there a F*** You emoji?" DNC communications director Luis Miranda wrote in an email to his colleagues.

Rachel Palermo, a press assistant for the DNC, simply wrote, "hahahahahahahaha." While DNC national press secretary and deputy communications director Mark Paustenbach replied: "We’re not responding at all."

The original inquiry was sent in May by Fred Lucas, who used to be TheBlaze's White House correspondent but was working as a freelance reporter for FoxNews.com at the time. Donald Trump had labeled Hillary Clinton an "enabler" of her husband's alleged sexual misconduct with women, so Lucas wanted to get a response to the accusation from the DNC.

"She’s not a victim. She was an enabler," Trump, now the Republican nominee for president, said in January. "She worked with him. She was — some of the women have been totally destroyed. Some of these women have been destroyed. And Hillary worked with him."

After not receiving a reply from the Democratic operatives, Lucas sent a follow-up email, writing, "I hoped the DNC could weigh in on the appropriateness of Trump attacking along these lines? I would really appreciate any response you have. Thanks very much."

Alas, his second attempt to get answer was met with a similar response to his initial inquiry.

"The asshole from fox emailed us again," Paustenbach wrote in an email to Miranda. "I did some research and there’s still no ‘f*** you’ emoji, unfortunately."
