VEN (WASHINGTON) — Oh, my stars and whiskers!

While violently denouncing President Trump for treason Monday  during a heated panel discussion on  MSNBC focusing on President Trump’s meeting in Helsinki with Vladimir Putin, Communist Wahhabi Muslim and former Deep State CIA Director John Brennan appeared to shape shift into Alt-Right meme Pepe The Frog while startled host Rachel Maddow blurted out What the F**K! as the progressive cable news station took what appeared to be an unplanned commercial break.

When the program resumed several minutes later, Mr Brennan had been replaced on the panel by Congressman Steve Cohen (D-TN) who — Ms Maddow reassured  viewers — had been attending a Wizard of Oz masquerade ball at Comet Pizza and was still in costume.

“He rushed over as fast as he could from that gala event,” Ms Maddow explained, “and to the best of our knowledge has not been transformed into a real flying monkey,” a statement Mr Cohen — who suddenly began hopping up and down and waving his arms — refused to confirm.
