August 9 was a simpler time. Americans in Afghanistan didn’t yet realize they were stranded there, and the White House was focused on encouraging young people to get vaccinated, so it enlisted a cadre of TikTok celebrities to chat with Anthony Fauci. The standout was Benito Skinner, whom Media Matters says made right-wing media melt down with his pro-vaccine video.
Anyway, it’s two weeks later, and Skinner’s back … in meme form, summing up the very state of the White House today:

We should parachute him into Afghanistan to strike fear in the hearts of our enemy.
