25 Times Republicans Looked Like Fools and Hypocrites in 2023 While We Cackled

From right-wing zealots spewing hate to countless anti-LGBTQ+ laws sweeping the nation, America can feel like a scary place to live if you are queer. In 2023, we faced anti-drag bills, homophobic book bans, anti-trans legislation, and bans on gender-affirming care, but we persevered and even thrived in the face of this hateful opposition. Republicans, on the other hand, showed themselves to be foolish hypocrites at every turn while we sat back and laughed.

Moms For Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler was proven to be a horrid hypocrite, we watched as Ted Cruz humiliated himself by claiming to know what women want in bed (hint: you absolutely don’t, Ted), we bore witness to Rudy Giuliani look like an idiot again and again, Houss Speak Mike Johnson admitted to creeping on his son’s porn consumption, Marjorie Taylor Greene alienated the entire GOP with her extremist views, and we watched as a gay Republican podcaster learned that his party is homophobic and racist (who could have guessed?!). They really outdid themselves this year.

Without us having to lift a single finger, the GOP proved to the world over and over again that they are pathetic losers who talk out of both sides of their mouths, and we LIVED for every single moment of it! We may be petty, but we earned it after a year like this!

Here are 25 times Republicans showed us their true colors in 2023 and proved that they are the fools and hypocrites we always knew they were.
