Pajiba Discusses the New Jon McNaughton Painting of Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders and Others
Earlier today Jon McNaughton released his newest abomination painting to the unsuspecting masses and, well, some of us at Pajiba had some thoughts. The following is a transcript of our Slack, earlier today.

New McNaughton Painting - "Democrats Playing Poker"

This is his best work
Emily:
Why are there so many dogs? And who's the bald guy?
Also, what?
Kate:
Booker, I think?
Emily:
Why does he think that Corey Booker looks like bald Gerald Ford?
Genevieve:
Everyone looks like they're having such a good time! Especially the dogs!
Kate:
I mean, who doesn't want to play poker with some buds, and a bunch of dogs?
Emily:
You couldn't even get the game finished though because you'd be stopping every five minutes to let one of the dogs out.
Kate:
I love how it's supposed to show Trump above it all, but with his vantage, he wouldn't even see Booker handing Pete the card.
Emily:
Oh shi*! I didn't even notice Trump. Where are they? Why are they playing cards in a room decorated by a Trumper?
Genevieve:
If you showed me this painting in a vacuum I absolutely would not pick up on it as a pro-Trump piece of artwork.
It's just like, buds! Having a fun poker evening! With some dogs! Everyone's happy and getting along! If anything it reads very pro-Dem in a way. They're all happy and cooperating even as their opponent glowers in the background.
Kate:
I'm confused by Beto and Bernie are smoking stogies. Why just them?
Genevieve:
Honestly, Pete and Booker look like they're making a love connection here. I'm only getting positive feelings off this image.
Emily:
Beto clearly has never smoked a cigar in his life, Harris would absolutely roast him for holding it so weird, and Warren would take that cigar and show him how it's done.
Kate:
I mean, Kamala doesn't look happy about Biden in her space, but I think she can handle it
Genevieve:
Yeah, that hand is still up in the "not great, but ok" space and not the "THAT'S MY PURSE I DON'T KNOW YOU" space.
Kate:
I feel like he's never looked directly at Mayor Pete before, lest he's concerned that you can catch homosexuality, because he didn't do a good job with his face.
Genevieve:
He probably did the most flattering work on Biden and Bernie which, not a big surprise he's used to doing flattering portraits of old white dudes.
Emily:
Wait, is he making the black guy and the gay guy cheaters? Because even for him, that seems like a lot.
Kate:
Emily. Do you know this man's work?
Emily:
I do. That's still pretty on the nose.
Kate:
Have you noticed the difference between the Trump administration and the Obama administration already? pic.twitter.com/pADAiClb0S

Genevieve:
Why is Tim Meadows burning the constitution?
Kate:
Because Jesus told Jon McNaughton to paint it
