Hoo-boy! We haven't seen the leftists this mad since President Trump put a sombrero on top of the heads of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. 

And just like that time a little over a month ago, the madder they get, the harder we laugh.

As Twitchy readers know, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth showed Democrats this weekend just how much he cared about their screeching 'WAR CRIMES! RREEEEE!' at him over the US elimination of Venezuelan narco-terrorists with a hilarious new children's book for Christmas. 

And, boy howdy, have the left lost their minds over that one! 

Everyone from Chuck Schumer to Yevgeny Vindman (along with the usual media apparatchiks) just about had a conniption over Hegseth trolling them. 

But the left never learns. The madder they get, the more conservatives will mock them. 

It started by turning the book cover into an animated video with the help of some AI tools: 

But it didn't end there. Not by a long shot. 

What followed was a flood of memes from the account of Maverick Alexander celebrating Franklin the Turtle, the greatest green conservative hero since Pepe the Frog.

Sit back and enjoy the hilarity with some of our favorites:

You have to click on each of the photos in that post to see the full book covers, but trust us. They're worth the click. 

Especially the Fauci one.

HAHAHAHA. We're laughing right along with you, Frankin and Pete.

We are ALL Franklin.

Go get 'em, Franklin!

That one was in response to Schumer's feigned outrage. We're with Franklin there, too. Nobody likes Schumer's hamburgers.

While Maverick Alexander was clearly the champion of Franklin covers, others got in on the action as well. 

Noooooo! Get out of there, Franklin! 

That looks better than about 99 percent of the movies Hollywood puts out. 

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Even Franklin knows that. 

LOL. 

All three of those people sure could use some. Even more than the Scarecrow in Oz. 

Of course, being the humorless, Canadian scolds that they are, the creators of the original Franklin the Turtle tried to ruin everyone's fun.

Someone really needs to tell them that all this statement is going to do is launch 1,000 more memes. 

Yep. Just like that. 

Since Maverick Alexander gave us so many of the best ones, we'll let him close it out with another hilarious book cover. 

We're with our terrapin friend all the way on that one.

Long live Franklin the Turtle, 2.0. The original might be a fine children's book character, but Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has now turned him into a meme legend.
