Thanksgiving dinner table, before the political food fight
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has released a humorous, menu-style set of talking points for Democrats to respond to that Republican blowhard who seems to spout off at everyone’s Thanksgiving dinner. The talking points, which can be found in this .pdf, are entitled “Know Your Stuffing.” Each subject has a cute Thanksgiving dinner theme, complete with food graphics, and is designed as a response to a Republican rant, since they always seem to be the ones who bring up these political subjects at the holiday table. For example, there is “Aunt Mary’s ‘There Was No Quid-Pie-Quo,'” described as “a crust so flaky, it falls apart the moment you present it with evidence.” Responses to this talking point are listed under “What to Bring,” and include:
- Multiple members of the Trump administration have testified before Congress there was a quid pro quo agreement with Ukraine.
- Trump himself—in a memo he released—admitted he withheld aid from Ukraine until they dug up dirt on his political opponents.
Both of these responses even include footnotes to reputable sources for this information.
