The choice is simple: McMuffin is a leftwing Democrat pretending to be an independent to get elected. He will support Biden's radical agenda 100%. Mike Lee is a strong conservative who we can count on to push back against Biden's leftwing policies. He will always put Utah first! https://t.co/9p0zUImrG2

We’ll give the Trumps this one. “Evan McMuffin” sounds funny. Of course, Utah Independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin is not really a person we associate with McDonald’s breakfast sandwiches and to our knowledge does not own a franchise of the fast food giant or is known to be a regular customer. Donald Trump certainly is however, and his intimate familiarity with the McDonald’s menu is the most likely reason for this nickname. But it still sounds kind of funny.
Not as funny as “Gym Jordan,” “Faux News,” “Hitlery Clinton,” or “Cucker Carlson,” classics that both play on their given names and negative qualities they’re associated with. Our homegrown “Freedom Caucasians” for the House Freedom Caucus and “Allen Weaselberg” for Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg also have the advantage of being contextually-based wordplays. When we spell the names of Republicans wrong, like with Maryland governor candidate Dan Cox “Dan Cocks” and Texas Senator John Cornyn “John Cornhole” it’s merely for cheap and sophomoric laughs.
