WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Amid a firestorm of controversy, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene explained that an offensive video of her that has been widely circulated in recent days is actually George Soros in disguise.
Whenever I donate clothes to a consignment shop, Soros gets a ping on his phone and buys it all up, she alleged. Then he spends weeks practicing walking in my heels.
Additionally, she claimed, George Soros has a Marjorie Taylor Greene latex mask, like they have in Mission Impossible. If you put me and Soros side by side, you would not be able to tell us apart.
Asked where Soros had obtained the technology to accomplish his astounding impersonation, she replied, Hello? His best friend, Bill Gates?
Greene also said that she was not surprised that the Hungarian-born billionaire had perfected an imitation of her voice. Hes been coached by the best of the best: Oscar winner Meryl Streep, she said.
Reacting to Greenes comments, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told reporters, I knew there had to be a reasonable explanation. Lets move on.

(2,021 posts)Really tired of clickbait that is outlandish but could be real in this crazy time, only to find it's more Borowitz. If it's satire, mark it. Or put it in the Lounge.

(16,189 posts)That Aha! moment when you deem it to be satire and are proven correct upon opening.
Besides satire is a great way to mock hypocritical and foolish politicians.

(1,943 posts)I actually know someone who spouts this stuff. The way they have to keep doubling down needs to be exploited by a clever satirist.

(3,404 posts)Poor George needs a break, he is the Man behind the curtain in every right wing conspiracy theory that they can cone up with. However he is fortunate to have top gun general in Hillary Clinton to share some of the blame.
Can someone recruit Bezos, Warren Buffett, or Mark Zuckerberg to fill in on a part time bases?
