GOP strategist Rick Wilson – principal of the “Lincoln Project” group of never-Trump Republicans that recently tried tying the Confederate flag to Trump in a new ad – has some explaining to do.
Wilson – a rabid neocon and Russia conspiracy theorist who ridiculed Trump supporters as illiterate rednecks, suggested putting anti-vaxxers in “re-education camps,” and once asked pundit Ann Coulter if Trump ‘pays her more for anal’ – owned himself earlier this week when he tried to ‘cancel’ Domino’s Pizza over a PR Twitter exchange the company had with White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany in 2012.
Dominoes responded: “Welp. It’s unfortunate that thanking a customer for a compliment back in 2012 would be viewed as political. Guess that’s 2020 for ya.”
So after Rick delved into ancient tweets to play ‘cancel’ with Dominoes, conservative voice Caleb Hull did a little digging on his own – and found a 2014 Instagram photo Wilson posted of his family on a boat, featuring a confederate flag ice chest.
Hull was promptly blocked:
Hey @TheRickWilson, why did you delete this? pic.twitter.com/DkeyTDiYo9

Hull then discovered that Wilson’s wife also posted the chest – which reads “The South Will Rise Again” on top.
Hi @TheRickWilson, not sure if you realize, but your wife posted this on Instagram. May want to delete that one too! pic.twitter.com/ISg1xUVS1u

When asked for comment, Wilson’s wife Molly responded “Fuck off.”
She didn’t deny it 🤷🏼♂️ pic.twitter.com/z4i7BMh0hF

Molly then ‘rage DMed’ Hull and lied – claiming the photo of the cooler was fake. She then claimed that the cooler never belonged to them, and suggested that it was her son’s.
Rick Wilson’s wife, Molly, just rage DMed me claiming the photos of their confederate “THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN” cooler is fake.
I sent her the instagram link, which is still live, and then nuked her.
It all started when he tried to cancel Domino’s.

And now Molly’s racist tweets have surfaced:
Hey @TheRickWilson – Do you and your wife usually use the term "negro" to describe black Americans? Perhaps while sitting on your "South Will Rise Again" confederate flag cooler?

Your racist wife loves the Mexicans, @TheRickWilson …. but probably just the ones that she puts to work in her garden. https://t.co/tlyycjNLZm pic.twitter.com/gXy1gnUXtA

She’s also got no problem attacking President Trump’s son, Barron:
I don’t like bringing spouses / families into political warfare. However, since @TheRickWilson’s white trash wife went after Barron Trump, her racist & homophobic ass is fair game. pic.twitter.com/c8BKGE2G9h

For what it’s worth, Rick and Molly seem like a great match.

With @TheRickWilson trending, I figured it would be a good time to take a trip down memory lane about his bad takes.
You know about his Biden jabs (below) but the wrongs just keep on coming… pic.twitter.com/rdrOtWceKB
