But on closer inspection, the posts on the site make fun of the Democrat with gifs that show him touching women, and criticism of his political record, including his opposition to court-ordered busing in the 1970s, and a vote against abortion rights in 1982.
A disclaimer at the bottom of the website says it’s “intended for entertainment and political commentary only and is therefore protected under fair use,” and is a project “BY AN American citizen FOR American citizens.”
