What is Thanksgiving all about, if not publicly humiliating your elderly relatives? “The Daily Show” producer Brandon Stefanowitz really embraced that yesterday when he posted this photo of his Trump-supporting grandfather for the sole purpose of mocking him:
My grandfather is sporting what he thinks is a MAGA hat. Little does he know this accessory is completely against what he believes in when it comes to politics/climate change ??♂️ pic.twitter.com/ZXxIPj4VB9

Here’s a screenshot, just in case he deletes:
Yeah, get a load of that silly old man!
Oh my gawd this is hilarious

And Molly has an excellent sense of humor, so she knows.
While I agree with the message it's kinda messed up to use your Grandpa as a retweet icon for something he doesn't even realize he's signing on to….

He actually knew and was cool with this lol.
— Brandon Stefanowitz (@bstefanowitz) November 29, 2019
Yeah, lighten up, guys.
What kind of lame grandpa wouldn’t be cool with his grandson publicly shaming him on Twitter?
Good one ???

I love taking advantage of the elderly! It’s so easy to trick them. This rocks!
— Ex Buzzfeed Reporter (@BuzzfeedEx) November 28, 2019
Kind of disrespectful to your grandfather.
— MrsLovesToRead ?☕? (@PatriciasBooks) November 29, 2019
Not very respectful to your grandfather.
I despise Trump with the fire of 1,000 suns.
Not cool.— Jeff Flake's Sad Eyebrows (@GasliterInChief) November 29, 2019
This is horribly cruel. Stop it.

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I would be less eager to humiliate my elderly grandfather and post the proof of it online thus demonstrating to the world what a terrible person I am. pic.twitter.com/WGb7Xm4eXW
