Kash Patel as the Worm in MAGA's FBI Mezcal Bottle
KASH PATEL WORM IN A BOTTLE by Taylor Jones, politicalcartoons.com
Taylor Jones draws a bottle of Mezcal Gusano FBI, labeled as a producto de MAGA, with a worm at the bottom that has the face of Kash Patel, eyes wide and mouth open in apparent freak-out. The image plays on the tradition of mezcal with a gusano, or worm, inside the alcohol bottle, tying it to political themes of FBI director, justice department, and law enforcement. The worm's expression suggests inebriation or passing out, evoking ideas of drunkenness and dereliction of duty. This satirical take uses the moth larva in agave booze to comment on the 100 proof intensity of MAGA influence in such appointments. The cartoon stays simple, focusing on the bottle and its contents without added context.

Guy Parsons, PoliticalCartoons.com
