Vice President-elect and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) sparked criticism on social media [...]
it seems impossible that there wasn't at least one person on her staff who was like "hey guys, we sure this is the time" and i would absolutely kill to hear the ten minutes spent shouting them down

When Feinstein tweeted about the Lakers and Dodgers winning their respective championships, as well as the resolutions congratulating the teams, people responded with a wide variety of memes. Several used animated Gifs of people dry heaving to showcase their displeasure while others delivered more direct messages. Specifically, they alleged that the two politicians are the type of people that would see someone struggling and would react by changing the subject to something "more positive." These messages continued as more people saw Feinstein's tweet.

I am a life long die hard Dodgers fan and this tweet enraged me. As a constituent of yours, I’d rather see a little proof that you’re pushing back on the election fraud INSANITY being disseminated across every media channel by the GOP and maybe, you know, dealing with COVID?!

Holy this is the most out of touch thing I've ever seen. Democrat or Republican, the government doesn't care about you

Definitely something you should hinge your entire next election on. "Senator Feinstein, the senator with the bravery to boldly stand with the dodgers and lakers to recognize their championship during a global pandemic."
