TYT: Festivus Creator Is Sick Of Rand Paul
Rand Paul is a Seinfeld fan who likes to air his grievances on Festivus using Twitter. Dan O'Keefe, the writer who invented the holiday, tweeted his disapproval. Cenk Uygur, host of the The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The "Seinfeld" writer who coined "Festivus" wants Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to stoptweeting about his beloved secular holiday.
"I've been tweeting back at him," Dan O'Keefe told HuffPost Live on Wednesday. "I hate the guy. I think he's some sort of lizard that somehow crawled into a suit and somehow's been allowed into the senate."
"My father was a strong 1950s-era Liberal Democrat and he despised the reactionary nature of today's Republican party," he said. "I lost it when I saw that Rand Paul, who my dad did strongly dislike before he died, was using my dad's holiday as a way to make warmed-over 10-year-old talking points.””*
