Twitter’s Being Really Mature About David Pecker Turning On Trump: ‘Pecker Inserted Into Trump Drama’
National Enquirer publisher David Pecker has been granted immunity by the feds after he corroborated former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen‘s accounts of hush money payments during the 2016 election.
Now, this would be big news on its own, but what makes it bigger news is that “pecker” is a euphemism for penis.
The internet loves to joke about male genitalia, and when those jokes can be woven into other jokes about concealment, paying money to a porn star, and/or “giving it up,” you can be sure the memesters will be out to play.
Here’s just a small sample of the avalanche of dick jokes the world was treated to today because of this Pecker news:
“Mr. Pecker does not appreciate all the childish jokes about his name.” – AMI spokesperson Fanny Goblincock

Welp, I guess Trump has two little peckers to deal with now.

A guy named “Pecker” being the key to the case against Trump is just a hack, on the nose re-write of having a secret source called “Deep Throat.”

(And before you ask: Yes, this reporter does receive her fair share of similar jokes.)
