17. You were not amused? Satire and reality have become too close.

A lot of times, folks have to see Borowitz or The Onion in order to tell the difference. Extremism requires some comedic relief.

For some real Republican hypocrisy, with no humor at all:

Republican sexual predators

This is the 41st installment in the list of Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers who contribute to rape culture. These are people who abused their power or defended the abuse of power. These are not folks caught in consensual scandals such as being gay, having an affair, or soliciting adult sex workers, unless they are trafficked against their will. They may be hypocrites, but they are not predators. There is one guy on the list for having sex with a sex worker, but only because he paid with a check and stopped payment.
