“Each day Present” correspondent Michael Kosta mocked Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday over his battle on “woke fonts.”
“Wait, what — what the fuck is a woke font? Was it a font offended by the Sydney Sweeney denims advert?” Kosta quipped.
Earlier this week, Rubio ordered diplomats to change from Calibri to Occasions New Roman for official paperwork.
Rubio blasted a 2023 choice to make use of Calibri — applied by then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken to make communications extra accessible for these with visible impairments — as a “wasteful” range transfer.
“Apparently, for MAGA, the definition of woke has been so stretched that at this level it means ‘serving to different folks in any respect even when it doesn’t damage anybody else,’” Kosta stated.
“Meaning if Calibri was woke, then ramps are woke. Braille is woke. These chairs that decrease outdated folks into the lodge pool are woke. How else are they going to secretly finger blast one another below the water, huh? That’s not the world I need to develop outdated in!”
He proceeded to slam Rubio’s “pathetic try to start out a tradition battle” earlier than turning to how right-wing retailers are overlaying it anyway.
“Growth! The superior font is again,” declared Fox Enterprise anchor Dagen McDowell.
Kosta questioned if conservative media is “affected by an outrage scarcity” below Trump earlier than tossing to a clip of Newsmax’s Chris Salcedo struggling to pronounce Calibri.
“Cali-bro Akbar?” stated Kosta, mocking the conservative host for attempting to make the font identify sound “ethnic.”
“Cala-cala-Mamdani? No matter occurred to good ole American font names like Kyle or Chad?”
