Democratic Congressman Trolls MAGA Using Trump’s Words In Scott Adams Tribute | EUROtoday

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) managed to piss off loads of MAGA supporters on Wednesday with a social media submit concerning the demise of “Dilbert” cartoonist Scott Adams.

The Michigan congressman’s submit referred to Adams as “a tortured and struggling cartoonist,” and claimed his demise on Tuesday was “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with SHRI DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”

But there was a catch: Thanedar’s submit was really a cut-and-paste of feedback Donald Trump made on his TruthSocial platform within the wake of movie director Rob Reiner’s demise final month.

He made the purpose behind the submit clear by asking, “Am I doing this right MAGA, or is it only OK when Trump does it?”

Thanedar’s submit additionally referenced when many newspapers canceled “Dilbert” in February 2023, after Adams mentioned the “best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people,” whereas including, “Just get the fuck away. Wherever you have to go, just get away.”

Thanedar known as out the hypocrisy in a reply to a submit by Democratic pundit Adam Mockler.
