Dem Rep. Roasts GOP Over Signal Group Chat Debacle With The Perfect 'SNL' Character

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.

Michael Jackson Fans Called Out Over Their Deranged Reaction To Paris Jackson Talking About Her Late Dad

Paris Jackson is no stranger to public scrutiny—but this time, the backlash isn’t about her. It’s about fans of her late father, Michael Jackson, and the increasingly unhinged way they’re responding to her simply speaking about him.

It all started when Entertainment Tonight shared a red carpet interview from the Vanity Fair Vanities party, where Jackson was asked about the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic. The film stars her cousin, Jaafar Jackson, as the King of Pop, with Colman Domingo portraying family patriarch Joe Jackson.

Riley Gaines Ripped For Bonkers Attempt To Discredit Tim Walz After He Condemns Trump's Genocidal Threat To Iran

Former NCAA swimmer and current transphobic conservative darling Riley Gaines was criticized for a desperate attempt to discredit Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after he condemned 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.
