A story straight out The Onion came true in a matter of hours after the satirical website posted a story in which 82-year-old Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-N.J.) asked to be let into The Squad.
Thats the group of Democratic lawmakers all women of color who have been the subject of President Donald Trump s racist tweets: Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
But Pascrell seized the moment on Monday, shared a link to the Onion story on his Twitter feed and asked if he could join the group:
