Daily Show' Creates Great New Word To Describe House GOP Anger At Wearing Masks Again

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Masks are mandated again in the House, and Republicans are furious.

On Thursday, a large group marched on the Senate ― where the wearing of masks is mainly voluntary ― to protest the rule.

“The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” responded with a great new word.

“Karensurrection (noun),” the Comedy Central program cracked on Twitter at footage of the maskless GOP lawmakers making their stand.

1. Schumer needs to make masks mandatory as well.

Heavier lift in the Senate, probably, but it needs to be done. Let the Repukes boycott or something. They're not doing any work anyway.

2. I work with a woman named Karen. Kind of feel sorry for her. She doesn't fit the profile.

3. Really tired of this Karen crap.

The original premise basically says middle-aged women have no right to stand up for themselves. It's sexist and ageist. It needs to stop.

4. I'm ok with it...

6. if it ended there, you'd have a point

but i find most labeled "Karens" to be entitled, out of control assholes.

[TexasBushwhacker]

7. But is there a name for male Karen's?

[CatWoman]

8. "Ken"

[Traildogbob]

11. I think Madison

As in Cawthorn. Kevin, as in McCarthy Moron seems to work as well.

9. In some circles, it's "Ken"

Williams, who may be the only scholar whose given this subject its due time, explains why this is the case and why the internet (and Black Twitter in particular) seem to let Kens (the male equivalent of a Karen) off easy. Her theory, based on an analysis of nearly 100,000 tweets, suggests that racist narratives are deeply internalized and woven into the fabric of American culture.

.

But according to this author, it could also be Terry or Greg...

14. I thought they were going with "Kevin"...

[Sympthsical]

16. I've been seeing a lot of Kevin the past few months as well

I'm sure the internet will settle upon something.

[LisaM]

15. Well not all entitled assholes are older women.

This needs to stop.

[Scrivener7]

5. My friend Caren thinks it's funny.

[rpannier]

13. Should have gone with something elitist sounding but a name no one would have

Biff and Muffy

[Escurumbele]

10. It is so childish, it is like dealing with little brats

This is unreal, come on! a mask, it is just a mask, there is a reason why doctors wear masks...republicans cannot govern, they are 24/7 finding childish things to fight about, to destroy, to be cruel, to cheat, why can't so many people not realize it?

12. Stunted growth

I think it’s called arrested development. Maturation stopped at adolescence.

[Solly Mack]

17. That's funny. They are as glued to their phones as a teenager constantly checking the status

of the person they have a crush on.

In this case, they are all seriously crushing on themselves and Trump.
