GOP brutally mocked for claiming Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 'definitely a Republican'

The official X account for the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee posted a Christmas Eve message declaring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is “definitely a Republican.”

The account for the committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) then proceeded to tick down a list of qualities that it deemed specific to the Republican brand, including “Doubted by the elites,” “pulled himself up by his bootstraps,” “faced adversity” and “carried the team when others couldn’t.”

Social media quickly flushed the claim, with one X user pointing out that, “He wasn’t on Epstein’s island, [though].”

Philadelphia attorney Adam Bonin said on Bluesky that the GOP totally pegged the story wrong.

“‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ is a story about the need for inclusive hiring practices which recognize everyone's unique talents and refuse to see ‘difference’ as an automatic negative,” Bonin posted. “The Republicans in that story were the other reindeer who laughed at Rudolph and called him names.”

“Also, super gay, though nobody recognizes it. So, yeah, Republican,” added astrophysicist Robert Rutledge on X.

“When did he sell out to mega corporations and foreign governments?” demanded another X user.

“I thought the GOP was like the other reindeer because they all have brown noses,” quipped another Bluesky user.
