Does it not often feel as if present-day political maneuverings are just rehashing classic sitcom formulas (conflict, disbelief, resolution, forgetting in 22-minute increments)? In all ways possible, yes.

On Tuesday, Vice News reported that until only very recently the website for Arizona’s Republican party featured a cast photograph from Margaret Cho’s 1994 sitcom All-American Girl, accompanied by the caption “Asian Americans.” The photograph resided on a webpage explaining how the GOP loves diversity, a fiction far more outlandish than the TV family it mistook for a real one.



Just as bad as those Bots on Twitter with fake pictures!!

The Arizona GOP was called out Tuesday for the cringe-worthy use of a photo showing comic Margaret Cho from a 1990s TV show to represent Asian-American diversity on their website.

The photo in question, a promotional image from Cho's 1994 sitcom "All-American Girl" is also the first result in a Google image search for "Asian American."

"As soon as this was brought to our attention the page was taken down. This is obviously a mistake and we apologize," Arizona GOP spokesperson Torrun Sinclair told The Arizona Republic Tuesday. She added the state's GOP website is undergoing a complete redesign.

Cho, the host of E's "Fashion Police" supported Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. She has not publicly reacted to the photo's use.
