This editorial cartoon is named “Republican Haunted House.” It depicts a spooky haunted house under a full moon that frames bats flying past. There are gravestones out in front and Jeffrey Epstein looks out from a window on the top floor. The gravestones read, “Gov’t Paychecks” “RIP Healthcare” and “Rural Hospitals.” Mike Johnson stands next to the house, which has a “closed” sign on the front door and says, “Trust me! It’s NOT because we’re afraid of ghosts!”

This political cartoon takes place in a graveyard where three ghosts float. Two ghosts on the left look the same while the ghost on the right has a pointed head that looks sort of like a klansman. One ghost on the left says to the other, “Watch out. I think he’s with ICE.”
