It’s been a pretty memorable year in politics. But let’s be honest…it’s been mostly for bad reasons. But there were also many hilarious and wacky moments, so without further ado, here are the ones we couldn’t stop laughing about on social media.
1. Tim Scott’s Mystery Girlfriend!
Right as the South Carolina Senator announced his departure from the Republican Presidential race, Sen. Tim Scott hard-launched his girlfriend. The months leading up to the girlfriend reveal were pretty funny seeing as many were beginning to suspect she wasn’t real.
2. Rep. Lauren Boebert And ‘Beetlejuice’
This may go down as the most bizarre political moment from 2023. The far-right Colorado congresswoman was ejected from the “Beetlejuice” musical in Denver for allegedly vaping and getting busy with her date at the movie theater.
3. New York Mayor Eric Adams’ Fake Photo Scandal
Earlier this year, the New York Times reported that someone directed staffers to craft a doctored photo of a fallen New York City police officer to appear as if it had been in Mayor Eric Adams’ wallet. He denied it, but it was honestly too out-there of an accusation to not launch quite a few jokes.
4. The Republican House Speaker Fiasco
Although, this wasn’t really funny since the entire operation of Congress hung in the balance, the debacle had its hilarious moments. Republican’s inability to agree on anything or anyone was on full-display and the memes about it were perfection. The sharp contrast to Democrats’ easy time selecting Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as their leader was also very noticeable.
5. The Continued Meme-ification of Vice President Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris has continued to become fodder for a hilarious stream of memes. Her upbeat enthusiasm has sparked untold numbers of clips on TikTok. And yes, her famous non-silk press still takes center stage.
