Make America Great Again Inc’s ‘MAGA War Room’ Twitter account touted a new “CatTurd poll” on Thursday which showed former President Donald Trump overwhelmingly beating his rival Ron DeSantis.
“President @realDonaldTrump extends his lead over DeSantis in the latest @catturd2 poll,” wrote the super PAC, attached to a graphic which showed the results of the poll from CatTurd — a pseudonymous, pro-Trump influencer with more than 1.8 million Twitter followers, which describes itself as “the turd you can’t flush” in its bio.
“Poll Conducted by @Catturd2 June 28, 2023. 80,818 votes,” the graphic read, next to CatTurd’s bespectacled cat profile picture.
A few hours later, the super PAC made another post with the same poll results.
“Huge news everybody,” mocked NBC News reporter Ben Collins.
‘Just feeling grateful i was born when i was so that i get to be alive to witness this kind of shit,” reacted The Atlantic‘s Charlie Warzel.
Trump himself previously touted one of CatTurd’
“NEW POLL JUST OUT…” he wrote, attached to the results of the CatTurd poll, which showed him at 69% and DeSantis at 24%.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow mocked Trump for sharing the poll in a segment on her show.
“Congratulations, sir! Who among us has not longed for the day in which we can claim victory in the acclaimed @catturd2 presidential poll?” she said, adding, “You know, @catturd2 does really seem to appeal to Trump in a visceral way.”
