Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz continued his trolling of the Signal group chat scandal with a meme featuring SNL fan favorite character Stefon.

Florida Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz had social media users cackling with his continued trolling of the individuals involved in the Signal group chat scandal—this time by employing a meme featuring Stefon, the fan favorite Saturday Night Live character made famous by actor Bill Hader.

Moskowitz's post came amid revelations that Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg was invited into a Signal chat with high-level Trump administration officials, particularly Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, discussing military strategy surrounding war strikes in Yemen.


Who better to "comment" on matters regarding the chat titled “Houthi PC small group" than Stefon, who for several years appeared on Weekend Update to recommend unusual and progressively weirder destinations for tourists traveling to New York?

And who better to joke about them than Moskowitz, who this week mocked national security advisor Michael Waltz for using a strange series of emojis—consisting of fist bump, American flag, and fire emojis—while discussing war plans?

Channeling the character, Moskowitz wrote:

"DC’s hottest Signal chat is Houthis PC Small Group. This place has everything: war plans, flame emojis, the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic…"

You can see his post below.

People loved his response.



Speaking of the “Houthi PC small group," Democrat Ritchie Torres, who represents New York, has introduced legislation, dubbed the Houthi PC Small Group Act, which would make it illegal for officials to use outside messaging platforms like Signal to discuss classified information.

The acronym stands for “Homeland Operations and Unilateral Tactics Halting Incursions: Preventing Coordinated Subversion, Military Aggression and Lawless Levies Granting Rogue Operatives Unchecked Power," which suits the legislation quite nicely.

A spokesperson for Torres told The Hill that the bill is still being drafted but aims to clarify existing laws and increase penalties for making sensitive information vulnerable online. It remains unclear what classification levels the measure would cover if passed by Congress.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
