In case it wasn't obvious, that's satire.

And there were some solid lines in there.

That's good to know. I didn't realize. I pretty much lost any ability to recognize satire when reality has become stranger than fiction all too often.

Yeah. This is part of her schtick. She'll comment as the spokesperson for political figures after major events.

Satirists need to make it clear it's satire or they're fake newsers. Sucks but that's the world we are in now.

Given the sheer insanity of the past few years, there have certainly been times when it was incredibly difficult to discern if something was satire or not.
This...doesn't feel like one of them.

Exactly.
Sadly, the message sounded like something my sister (who lives in Texas), would say. Though she might tone down the language a bit.
Edit: As an example, the last time I spoke with her, she said that she didn't have a problem with the illegal aliens crossing the border, just with the "other people" that come with them.... </scratches head in confusion>

She's from Georgia so she's channeling home in an authentic way. I thought she was well-known enough at this point (she ends up on the national news) to just drop it in.

She also declares herself a comedian in her account bio.
These days I always click the bio, no matter what.
Rep. Louie Gohmert warned OAN viewers about the "hundreds and thousands" of "Flamers," aka birds who survive windmills but wind up spontaneously combusting after flying over solar farms in the Southwest US. This is how the green new deal will bring the nation down.
Side note: How dirty must the souls of the anchors who have to sit and nod along to this insanity feel?
