Again, <only Republicans> ever get to talk like this. If a single municipal level Democrat ever did, it would be a national outrage &spark a wave of “civility” discourse, & op-eds about how Dems must Respect Real Folkz & talk across difference. Democracy is incompatible with this double standard.

Reminder that the Children's Hospital of Philly is also the one whose leadership sought to meet with their senator, John Fetterman, about "vaccines and Medicaid cuts" last September, and he was less than enthusiastic, per WSJ
WSJ:
Last September, when an aide told Fetterman that officials with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, known as CHOP, wanted to meet because they were worried about Medicaid cuts, he was dismissive.  
[followed by snippets of a text conversation between Fetterman and an aide]
FETTERMAN: Why do I have to keep meeting with chop
AIDE: Because they are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts.
FETTERMAN: Well I'm not... I'm convinced they just want free trips to DC
