Oh, it was Gwar. That's not really news then. Good for them though.

MODERATORS
They do this with whoever is president or influential at the moment.
Newsweek trying to frame it as a sign of heightened political tensions in the US is deceptive and irresponsible. Mentioning the Charlie Kirk memorial is totally irrelevant, the band woulda done this anyway.
This isn't news, this is fire stoking and it should be deleted.
The "fairness meter" wasn't there for me on this non-story, either.
It was there before, they've removed it. I sent in an email as a correction saying how the article is failing to uphold journalistic standards
Good work, thanks so much!
Yeah one of my friends saw them about 3 months ago, and they were doing this bit back then
My first thought before clicking on the article was, "Have they ever heard of GWAR?"
Apparently not since they've definitely executed Musk before. As well as Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Hitler, multiple popes, and a variety of monsters and aliens.
They had Brett Kavanaugh give Amy Coney Barret an abortion when I saw them, can't recall if that was before or after Trump beheaded Biden before the band beheaded him in turn
I saw Trump and Putin get eviscerated at a Gwar concert like 6 years ago. That's what Gwar does. They've been taking the piss out of politicians and public figures for decades.
Wouldn't surprise me if the fragile right latches onto this now though and pretends it's something new.
Which would be extra hilarious considering GWAR have been guests on Fox News.
I knew it was GWAR without even reading the article. I saw them do this with Hitler and a few other political figures thirty years ago. What a groundbreaking article.
Me: this is the dumbest ‘article’ i have ever clicked on
Newsweek: but you did click it
Honestly I would have clicked for a sanity check if others hadn’t already confirmed.
Amazing, but it's rude to call people you don't like a "dummy". Oh, it was like a mannequin? That's far less good news.
This is TERRORISM! EXCEPT when Gwar did it to Democrats then it was FUNNY!
Unironically what these people think. Really tells you a lot about who they are.
Good for them 🙂
