A bad precedent.

Rules and norms (good and bad ones) don’t mean shit if they don’t apply generally. Republicans just spent four years cheerleading unhinged abuse of Democrats and their constituents by the president. They don’t deserve an apology, they deserve to be pilloried for their bad faith.
But once you’ve agreed in principle that Republicans deserve an apology for pretending that their feelings are hurt, they will keep pouring forth nonsense and demanding satisfaction. The cycle of abuse won’t end until you just say, “no way fuckers, fuck you."
Tapper: "Your husband has been known to make the occasional gaffe"
Biden: "You can't even go there. After Donald Trump, you cannot even say the word gaffe.”
JT: "I can't even say the word gaffe?”
JB: "Nope. Done. It's gone.”
JT: "The gaffe issue is over?”
JB: “Over."
Biden: "You can't even go there. After Donald Trump, you cannot even say the word gaffe.”
JT: "I can't even say the word gaffe?”
JB: "Nope. Done. It's gone.”
JT: "The gaffe issue is over?”
JB: “Over."
This, but for the whole production of bad faith nonsense.
The alternative is to play the game by their twisted rules, conciliating when they soccer flop, only for them to pop back to their feet and mock you for being such an easy mark.
