Hundreds of Memes Mocked Creepy Schumer, Pelosi Last Night. We've Got All the Best Ones Right Here
After President Trump’s national address on immigration last night, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer responded with their own address.
And, man, was it creepy. Pelosi and Schumer’s facial expressions spanned the range of completely blank, robotic and haunting. Their rigid stances as they stared down the camera didn’t help either.
In fact, the address came across so bizarrely unhuman that people could only compare them to horror movie characters or Bond villains.
Here’s a collection of some of the best online responses for your enjoyment:
Yikes. I like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi but they gotta work on the whole “not looking like villains from the next bond movie” thing next time. pic.twitter.com/Uen5rgZLH9

TV tip for Schumer and Pelosi – When on a two shot, look at the person talking, not at the camera. Gives impression of hostage tape.

Chuck and Nancy look like they’re selling me a reverse mortgage.

Just woke up from a super creepy nightmare where Chuck Shumer and Nancy Pelosi were standing bolt upright side by side like androids, each silently staring at the camera as the other moved its mouth and played a sound file.
Oh well, guess I’ll go see what’s happening on #CNN…

Is there a presentation class we can send Chuck & Nancy to before they do that again? DELIVERY MATTERS. They need to be able talk to – and RELATE to – and hopefully LIKE American voters. Their presentation was #DeerintheHeadlights awful.

Those who couldn’t make it past the disturbing visuals didn’t miss much. Pelosi and Schumer didn’t respond to the content of Trump’s address, which was compelling and forthright in its message. Instead, they dismissed the president as throwing a “temper tantrum” and reiterated that they wouldn’t engage with the topic of border security until he reopened the government.
When the message is that bad, it fits that the delivery would be such an uncomfortable experience for everyone.
