House Republicans, repelled by crude Democratic National Committee tweets crowing over the president's Obamacare victory in the Supreme Court, are firing back that the language tweeted isn't that of a party that speaks for women.

In a fundraising email to several hundred thousand supporters, the National Republican Congressional Committee and Washington State Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, vice-chair of the House Republican Conference, slammed the law and the "crass Democrats" who support it.

Friend,

Right after the Supreme Court's decision this morning the Democratic National Committee started celebrating - these are direct quotes:

"it's constitutional. B****es." "TAKE THAT MOTHER******S!!"

This is the party that speaks for women? I'm appalled.

As a Mother, I fear my kids will grow up in a country where Washington controls healthcare decisions best left to Moms, Dads and families.

We must get rid of this law by defeating the crass Democrats who support it.

Please give $3 right now and let's show Democrats what Mom-Power looks like.

Take control now,

Cathy McMorris Rodgers,

Vice-Chair, House Republican Conference
