Liberal Journalist Ridiculed for Claiming Trump Is Guilty Because He Shared a Meme

A liberal journalist was ridiculed for posting a disgruntled tweet on Thursday following the release of the Mueller report.

Judd Legum – a founder of the progressive ThinkProgress news site– was responding to a self-referential meme shared by President Donald Trump that declared “Game Over.” Apparently triggered by the “Game of Thrones”-themed post, Legum suggested that Trump’s fondness for memes was somehow damning.

“PRO-TIP: Innocent people don’t need memes,” he said.

Many commenters joked that the president’s critics are clearly getting desperate for proof that he committed a crime.

Some said Legum was clearly jealous that the left can’t meme.

Others noted that “pro-tip” is itself a meme, albeit a lame one.
