Just more right wing style DARVO - yeah, SHE is the basically the butt of a decades-long joke, but “it’s just a joke, you GUYZZZZ, c’mon!”
This is the same way the right wing puts forward things pushing further and further rightward - if there is any meaningful pushback, it’s just a joke, nudge nudge wink wink, if there isn’t any pushback, they take a few more steps. These people are simply not to be believed when they talk about humor - they are terrible at it.
Also - at the time this happened, I do admit it made me crack a smile, however, I don’t really get why they expect these beauty queens to also be policy wonks? She was (is?) super cute [1] and it’s essentially about that and T&A for these things. Why put the veneer on it? I just never understand that.
[1] Although it’s disappointing that she’s maga, it’s also not all that surprising, though.
