The sombrero memes will continue until morale improves

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is shocked, shocked, that President Taco Bowl is using memes online to mock his comportment during the government shutdown. Jeffries calls the memes, which depict Jeffries and Chuck Schumer wearing sombreros and sporting handlebar mustaches “racist” and has tough-guyed Trump to “say it to my face.”  

Cockburn enjoys a good troll-meme and suddenly finds himself in a world where Republicans are the ones with a sense of humor. House Speaker Mike Johnson told “my friend Hakeem” to “just ignore it.”  

“These are sideshows. People are getting caught up in – in battles over social media memes,” Johnson said in the Hill. “This is not a game. We’ve got to keep the government open for the people. I don’t know why this is so complicated.” 

Johnson mentioned that Gavin Newsom, who plays the Twitter troll game on Trump’s level, depicted him as a minion from Despicable Me. “He painted me yellow with big glasses and overalls. And I thought it was hilarious. You don’t respond to it. Don’t respond to it.”  

But Jeffries can’t help it, and Democrats have been complaining all day and all night about the memes on MSNBC and CNN, like big dumb pond fish who can’t resist a juicy worm. They are simpering nerds, who simply don’t understand the world in which they now reside, getting destroyed by frat pranks.  

Vice President J.D. Vance, the most memed-person on X this year, thinks it’s great. “The President’s joking, and we’re having a good time,” Vance said. “You can negotiate in good faith while also poking a little bit of fun at some of the absurdities of the Democrats’ positions.” He added that the memes will stop when the Democrats help reopen the government. In other words, the sombreros will continue until morale improves.
