The scene plays on drinking allegations surrounding Patel's FBI director nomination, incorporating tags like The Atlantic article, reported alcohol use, drinks to excess, intoxication, unexplained absences, and Patel's 250M defamation lawsuit.

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.
