Let us admire Ilhan Omar's perfect use of the I Think You Should Leave hot dog meme
ExxonMobil set itself up for a hell of a ratio on Thursday with a tweet pretending to give a shit about climate change after more than 40 years of promoting climate misinformation, As the masses piled into the replies, reminding the conglomerate that its fat cat executives are the “arsonists who started the fire,” U.S. Representative (and Green New Deal backer) Ilhan Omar adhered to that old adage about pictures saying more than words. That picture? Tim Robinson in a hot dog suit.
If you’re unaware, the screengrab comes from a sketch on Robinson’s I Think You Should Leave, in which a man in a hot dog suit tries to help the staff of a clothing store decipher who drove a hot dog car through their wall. “We’re all trying to find the guy who did this,” he says, a moment that’s become meme shorthand for anyone trying to address an issue for which they are obviously responsible.
