I’ve had plenty of internships.
I’ve interned at a theater company, a symphony, and a handful of museums. (I was in fundraising for the arts before I became a full-time chick)
Never ONCE. NOT ONCE would I have ever CONSIDERED being on anything but my best behavior. Throughout my internship I “Yes sir-ed” and “Thank you, sir-red” and dressed the part. I WAS A FRIGGIN PEACH.
I’ve had interns of my own, too. I’ve written about THAT before. With every year that went by, these little punks got more entitled. I’ve seen interns CRY because they were POLITELY asked to fix something.
Here’s something to remember as an intern. It takes TIME to train you on each project. Realistically, people could do these things themselves in less time than it took to walk you through it, and probably do a better job of it. SO… be grateful for the opportunity, and make SURE you’re building a good reference…Because you WILL need it.
Speaking of sh*tty interns… is it any shock that Congress’ interns are just as unhinged and obnoxious as they are?
Last night, President Trump was in the Capitol for a meeting on immigration with House Republicans.

A Congressional intern proved she was just as deranged as her employer by screaming, “Mr. President, f*** you!” as he entered the room.

What. The. Hell.

The woman who heckled the President most likely had to either be an intern or aide. Someone with a hard Congressional pass allowing access to the Rotunda area after hours. The Capitol closes to public tours ar 4:30 pm et.

NBC’s intern confirmed that it was, IN FACT, a Congressional intern who screamed profanities in the Capitol:
LISTEN: As Pres Trump’s entourage entered Speaker Ryan’s office in the Capitol, someone on the other side of the Capitol rotunda yelled: “Mr. President, F—k you!!” (He entered about 15 seconds later): pic.twitter.com/KHp16LYMoF

Per our intern, who was standing there, the woman who yelled “Mr. President, F–k you!!” was a congressional intern.

This is a DISGRACE.
While it’s crystal clear that Dems HATE Trump, SURELY they’ll draw the line here and dismiss this out-of-line intern. SUUURELY.
The Daily Mail’s David Martosko posted a PERFECT poll:
What will happen first for the congressional intern who yelled “F*** you” at Trump?
