Using a scathing "Democrat Naughty List," the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has exposed scandalous acts taken by House Democrats in the last year. Santa is bringing these Democrats the complete package, not just a lump of coal. It's like "The Night Before Christmas," but with more drama and less sweet plums. More like a political version.
The website "Dems On The Naughty List" mimics the GOP's take on a gossip magazine, as it keeps tabs on not just who voted the worst but also who donned it best. Santa narrates a movie that lists every lawmaker's supposed transgressions, resulting in a political roast that is less funny and more political.
Extreme House Democrats are on Santa’s naughty list this year.
See why they’re all getting coal in their stocking this year. 🎅 https://t.co/GRihqkZtn7

Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, for example, has come under fire for failing to pay property taxes on the Portland, Oregon auto repair firm she owned—the political equivalent of failing to leave cookies for Santa. It's like saying you detest apple pie, yet Rep. Mary Peltola voted against a defense funding bill that contained a wage increase for military personnel.
The list also accuses Rep. Marcy Kaptur of breaking the STOCK Act, which is political euphemism for being found with your hand in the cookie jar despite being instructed not to touch the cookies, and Rep. Mike Levin of voting against the interests of the party.
The NRCC has all 11 of the Democrats on this naughty list on its target list for possible pickups in 2024, which is like giving Santa a whole new set of toys to play with.
In response, House Democrats play the political game of "I know you are, but what am I?" on a national scale by accusing House Republicans of being "wildly unproductive and unfit to govern" in their own advertisement.
The 2024 election seems to be an epic contest as the political drama plays out. It's like waiting for the last episode of your favorite reality TV show, with the Republicans hoping to hold onto their tiny House control and a list of Democrats on the bad list. The popcorn is ready, the drama is intense, and the stakes are high. Now let the political games begin!
