The Daily Show Mocks Jeff Flake With ‘Meaningless Tweets’ Blanket –– Then Mocks Him Again When He Asks for One

Senator Jeff Flake delivered a very personal and emotional farewell speech on the Senate floor today, reflecting on his public service and making allusions to “threats to our democracy from within and without.”

In honor of his final speech, The Daily Show paid mock-tribute to his “meaningless tweets” with a custom blanket.

This isn’t the first time they’ve showed off this blanket in response to comments from the outgoing Arizona senator:

Flake actually responded and asked how to get one of those blankets, but they just mocked him again:

Hey @TheDailyShow, how can I get one of these blankets? https://t.co/tkvPmsdajA
