Earlier, we told you about deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates’ very sad attempt to make a badass “Dark Brandon” meme happen. Here it is again:

Pathetic? Without a doubt. But it’s relatively harmless.

Screenshotted, just because:
“What’s the big deal?” you might be asking yourselves. Well, look closer. Do you notice anything? Anything a little off … ensive, perhaps?

Uh-oh!

Obviously the Biden administration is full of Nazis signaling to other Nazis.

Dear God.

They are sending their best, though. That’s the thing! This is literally the best they have to offer!
In 2020, the Trump campaign faced a week of stories and fact checks about a t-shirt with an eagle on it.https://t.co/QuHjLnzo2s
Let’s see if a tweet from an official Biden White House account gets the same treatment. https://t.co/wpjgpbalzo

Stay tuned!
Not really, though. Media firefighters aren’t going to raise a ruckus over this, because Democrats.
