The Borowitz Report: America's Top Traitor, the Final Smackdown [View all]

This is a poll for Borowitz's paid subscribers, and I'm one of them. However I thought it would be fun for DUers to play along. Andy Borowitz has been running this as a weekly column for several weeks now and the voting for "America's Top Traitor" has narrowed down to two candidates.

Last week, thousands of TBR readers voted for America’s Top Traitor from a field of five despicable finalists: Clarence Thomas, Stephen Miller, Brett Kavanaugh, Mitch McConnell, and JD Vance.

The votes have been counted, and the two most heinous quislings have emerged from the pack.

It’s time for you to cast the final vote and decide which of these two weaselly turncoats is America’s Top Traitor:

The winner will be announced next week. May the worst scumbag win!


I'm not trying to tip the scale in either direction, but I've made my feelings known. I've voted for Mitch McConnell on a weekly basis. Not only has he done lasting damage to our democracy, he was the initial enabler to Chump's first run for the Presidency. McConnell twisted Speaker Paul Ryan's arm ('memba him?) to accept Chump's candidacy against his better judgment. At every twist and turn McConnell was there, enabling Chump to do even more destruction to our government and our country. Oh, he is an evil man!
