9 Political Karens who Spew
Nothing but Trash
By Kalyn Womack
As we’ve seen, Karens are one of the most popular forms of
entertainment on social media. They throw tantrums, they lie and they blow the
most simple situations out of proportion because of their racial bias and
entitlement. Unfortunately, some of those incidents end up in a Black person
facing off with the police. However, these people don’t exist only in our local
Starbucks. They are also in our government. If these political officials
weren’t wearing a suit, hidden away in their offices, they would have most
likely been caught on TikTok making a ruckus in your neighborhood.

That
Florida Man Gov. Ron DeSantis
Every time this man pops up in the news, it is about pure nonsense.
Gov. DeSantis has successfully projected his homophobic and racist views onto
legislation that has caused ripples across the nation. He has endorsed laws
that basically put Florida in a time warp where LGBT individuals are shamed and
talking about racism is taboo. Ultimately, he wants to protect white people
from feeling guilty after learning the history of how we got to this new norm.
By doing so, he’s admitted that he indeed feels guilty so, he’s taking it out
on the education system.
Rep. Marjorie
Taylor Greene
She was banned from Twitter was banned for a reason. The QAnon
Queen has been famous (and not in a good way) for spewing racist, homophobic,
transphobic trash online. Her tweets are polluted with spreading COVID-19
misinformation, boasting about participating in the insurrection and accusing
trans people of buying up the tampons. She’s been openly and repeatedly racist
while simultaneously insisting the party she belongs to is not. Greene been the
model conservative, standing hatefully against anything associated with the
Left.
Former
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany
Sitting on the throne of lies is former White House press secretary
Kayleigh McEnany. Listening to her speak was not so much stressful as it was
entertaining being that after she would blatantly lie, she would look you in
your face from the Fox News camera and say, “I didn’t lie.” She was another
coronavirus non believer but instead took her beliefs to the pulpit where she
was responsible for informing the nation on the virus. She was so focused on
protecting Trump you would’ve thought she got a raise for every time she said
“the president has the virus under control.” Well, after 1 million deaths, it
doesn’t seem like he did.
The
Cheeto, Trump Himself
Undergraduate students could write dissertations on the mess that
flew out of this man’s mouth while he was president. Honestly, his whole term
was a fever dream. All of his racist rhetoric about people of color not
belonging in the country or going back to the “old days” when it was legal to
harass Black people in the street inspired American citizens to act on those
words. Summer of 2020 was filled with hate spewing from Trump supporters and
MAGAts. Thanks to him, a new, violent and even more unbearable group of Karens
have been born.
Former US
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos
Betsy DeVos would be the parent complaining to the school board
about mandatory masking and vaccination because “my body my choice.” Not only
was she investigated for violating the Hatch Act for inappropriately sliding in
a Fox News interview but she also compared slavery to abortion rights. On a
more timely note, she and the Department of Education were sued for preventing
a law to offer student loan forgiveness and tried to scam former students whose
loans were already forgiven.
Senator
Ted Cruz
If it’s not Florida, it’s Texas. Sen. Cruz’s top ten moments most
definitely include his list of anti-racist books he surprisingly could quote
from and abandoning his own state residents during their snow storm crisis to
live his best life in Cancun. Just like most of the other Karens listed, he
considered coronavirus information “government propaganda” and believes
President Joe Biden is to blame for everything wrong in the country from
chicken nugget sauce shortages to probably wind blowing too hard.
Senate
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
Have you ever been in the grocery store minding your own business
when a random, old white person just stares at you...bothered by your Black
existence? That might’ve been Mr. McConnell. He’s been a ride or die for the Republican
Party, standing against critical legislation that could help Black people
simply because they were introduced by the party he didn’t like. Though he’s
insisted he was for the people back in the day, his efforts against the very
civil rights he ‘fought’ for are quite nonexistent now. As if he didn’t attend
the March on Washington in 1963, he stands firmly against the teaching of
critical race theory or you know, anything beyond a few handpicked MLK quotes.
Minority
Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy
I don’t know if there’s anyone who defends Trump’s nonsense more
than this guy. McCarthy repeatedly turns a blind eye to the actions of his
party and insists the Left are “undermining” democracy by trying to hold the
former president accountable of his foolishness. In addition, he also supported
overturning the election, screaming “fake votes” and “stop the steal” just like
the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol. McCarthy spends too much time
pointing his finger and the very things he’s guilty of.
Conservative
White House Wannabe’s
We’ll be here all day if I had to list them all out for you. Those
paper-lipped folks on Fox News and conservative influencers of Twitter would be
the bulk of it. If a Democrat but so blinks the wrong way, these folks are
blasting it over the news and social media, crying about the radical left
ruining the country. Meanwhile, they support white supremacist ideology and
think there’s no big deal.
For example, a white man staged an arson claiming BLM was to blame.
Before finding out he did the damn thing himself, Ben Shapiro went to Laura
Ingraham on Fox to label the movement against police brutality being left-wing
“violence and cruelty.” They make it their job to turn diamonds out of dust and
still end up with Claire’s rhinestones.
