Ro Khanna Delivers The Most Backhanded Apology To Trump
LOADINGERROR LOADING
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) managed to mock two generations of Trumps in a single response to a bizarre attack by President Donald Trump.
Khanna appeared on Fox News on Saturday, which triggered the president into posting an angry demand that the network keep Khanna off the air.

The president shared an apparently AI-generated image of Khanna as a wolf wearing a bloody sheepskin, while holding a sheep and also money.
Khanna shared Trump’s image ― along with an apology to Donald Trump Jr., one of the president’s three sons, who was married over the weekend. His father did not attend, saying last week he had to deal with “Iran and other things” instead.
As it turned out, those “other things” included firing off that social media post about Khanna.
“Congratulations on your wedding @DonaldJTrumpJr,” Khanna wrote. “Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.”

Khanna also responded in a video shared on TikTok and Instagram.
“I guess we now know why he isn’t going to his son Donald Jr.’s wedding: He’s too busy posting AI attacks on political opponents like me,” Khanna said. “And why is he upset at me? Because I’ve gone on Fox News and called him out on the Epstein class and the economy that is broken and shafting working Americans.”
Khanna was one of the leaders of the push in Congress to release the Epstein files, which was ultimately signed into law ― although critics say the Justice Department still hasn’t released all the files as required.

Khanna vowed to keep pushing.
“Well let me tell you something: I’m not afraid of Donald Trump,” he said. “I’m gonna keep going on Fox News and calling him out.”
