Alarm-pulling Jamaal Bowman as a firefighter, Nancy Pelosi as the Democrats’ ‘babysitter’ and minority leader Hakeem Jeffries as a ‘medieval border wall’ that lets migrants ‘overrun NYC’.
If you want to dress up as a Democrat for Halloween, these are the spookiest outfits Republicans say you should choose to really scare your friends.
The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) will release the new set of meme Spirit Halloween costumes, first shared with .com, on Friday.
The outfits are ‘all tricks and no treats’ as none of them ‘can hide extreme House Democrats’ dangerous agenda’.
Republicans rolled out their Democratic-themed Halloween costumes on Friday – which including dressing up as ‘Hakeem Jeffries’ babysitter’ Nancy Pelosi
The Hakeem Jeffries outfit his the ‘Medieval Border Wall’ – which the Republican says ‘allows for migrants to overrun NYC’
‘Halloween dressed as one of Washington, DC’s scariest creatures will only add to the fright of Bidenomics,’ NRCC press secretary Will Reinert said in a statement.
The Pelosi costume says it includes: ‘Staying in Congress another term because she doesn’t trust Jeffries alone, holds Jeffries’ hand in fundraisers, and is the reason Democrats fall in line.’
Another is Jeffries as the ‘medieval border wall.’ ‘Claims border wall is ineffective, allows for migrants to overrun NYC, ignores Biden rebuilding the wall.’
Another costume is Jamaal Bowman dressed as a firefighter, in reference to his pulling the fire alarm, and North Carolina Democrat Rep. Jeff Jackson as a TikToker, in reference to his 2.4 million following on the platform that has become a tech bogeyman among conservatives due to its ties to China.
Another is Rep. Jahana Hayes, D-Conn., dressed as ‘Jonah’ – the name President Biden mistakenly called her during White House remarks in April. The costume has ‘gets into Twitter fights with staffers, votes with Biden 99% of the time, Biden still doesn’t know ‘Jonah’s’ name.’
And another costume is Rep. Gabe Vasquez dressed as a ‘defund the police’ protester. The New Mexico Democrat. ran for Congress as a moderate and deleted tweets from 2020 that read: ‘The tip of the spear of a white supremacist system ends in state sanctioned, cold-blooded murder of black individuals.’
Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman is a firefighter this year – after he was criminally charged and pleaded guilty to pulling a fire alarm in a Capitol Hill office building during crucial votes
‘There is so much to undo, to unravel this system & shift power structures to fundamentally change this country. That’s why the cars and buildings are burning,’ Vasquez previously wrote.
One is Rep. Vicente Gonzales, D-Texas, dressed as ‘Twitter bird.’ ‘Too sensitive, posts sexist remarks toward other members of Congress, can’t keep up with his fundraising goals.
Gonzales said in a clip in 2022 of then-newly elected Rep. Mayra Flores, R-Texas: ‘We’re gonna push back on these outside resources coming here picking a candidate, a hand-picked candidate that can’t think for herself, can’t speak for herself, can’t act for herself, can’t vote for herself.’
Another is Dave Min, a California Democrat running to replace Rep. Katie Porter. Min is a driving instructor in the costume. ‘Runs redlight and gets DUI, gets pulled over in government car, says ‘s**t man’ to the officer,’ the costume reads.
Min was arrested and cited with drunk driving in August. He blew a 0.15 on a breathalyzer test, nearly double the legal limit. Police body camera footage showed him saying of the results: ‘I couldn’t even believe that s**t, man.’
The NRCC, House Republicans’ campaign arm, is working aggressively to keep and expand the narrow four-seat majority in the House. Earlier this year they released 37 target seats, many of which were part of the costumes they are putting out.
