House Republicans Just Messed With The Wrong 'Jeopardy!' Contestant
based coverage of Tuesday's State of the Union address has backfired hilariously.
In a blog post announcing what they're calling #SnapOfTheUnion, the GOP incorporated a gif of HitFix writer Louis Virtel snapping his fingers during an appearance on "Jeopardy!" in May 2015.
The problem? Virtel, who is openly gay, is not a Republican and has no interest in his image being used to support the GOP.
The writer fired off a series of tweets that made his opposition clear.
