"But That's Socialism!" Today's episode... Hotel Elevators

*Cue images of Republicans calling various things "socialism"... like vaccinations, buying food before a potential blizzard, and, of course, not wanting to get shot in school.*

*Musical jingle*

But That's Socialism!

Today's episode... Hotel Elevators

A tweet from Frank Luntz, a Republican insider and pollster, that compares a broken elevator in Austria to SOCIALISM is being widely derided online.

The tweet, which follows a hot new trend among Republicans to label everything “SOCIALISM” as the 2020 presidential election begins to kick into gear, had more than 2,500 replies as of Tuesday morning.

“I’m at the Hotel Imperial in Vienna, Austria. Almost 200 rooms… But the elevator has been broken for 3 days. Please don’t bring EUROPEAN-STYLE SOCIALISM to America. 🚯,” Luntz wrote.

The tweet attracted a number of jokes—with a number of people pointing out that the hotel is owned by Marriott, an American-owned hotel chain.
