In The Middle

of

Political Correctness

The president has accused

The Senator from New York

Of conspiring with

Political correctness

To allow terrorists

Into the country

So Home Depot

Can rent them trucks

To drive down bike paths

And kill

New Yorkers,

But the same political correctness

Won’t let the senator

Point out the president’s

Radicalization

Of robed

And unrobed

Republicans

Ready to take to the streets

And kill Americans

With their bump stocks

And their Dodge Chargers

In the name

Of making

America great again.
