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.
