BACKFIRE alert! Claire McCaskill camp's 'elitist' jab at GOPer ends in self-inflicted embarrassment

Democrat Sen. Claire McCaskill’s campaign against her Republican opponent Josh Hawley suffered a big self-inflicted wound from one of its own memes and proved that…

The left can't meme.

Here’s the swipe McCaskill’s campaign took at a Republican candidate:

Didn't you have a private jet?

Funny coming from person worth $15-28 million with a $700k condo in DC, 15 room house in Missouri and who "forgot" to pay taxes on her $2.1 million private plane. Clearly a woman in touch with average Americans who don't deserve tax cuts (voted No). #MOSen https://t.co/oPCEfGk5b7

That attempted meme-slam was what you call a complete and utter failure.
