The White House released a series of recommendations for possible Thanksgiving dinner conversation topics. In an attempt to praise the policies championed by Biden this year, White House Chief of Staff Ronald Klain shared the following list:
One last item for your Thanksgiving dinner: some talking points when "that Uncle" comes "at you" about @POTUS. pic.twitter.com/P9X0wDRRZK

Divided into seven bullet points, the list claims that Biden is "tackling inflation and lowering costs" despite the fact that the Department of Agriculture revealed that the price of frozen turkeys has increased 73% compared to 2021.
They are also pleased that they have managed to work with Republicans. According to them, as a result of this bipartisan agreement, Biden's other achievements include reaching an agreement with Republicans on issues affecting "America's infrastructure," the "CHIPS and Science Act" or "the first meaningful gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years."
However, the list ends by stating that "Republicans in Congress are extreme." They claim that congressional Republicans are "proposing a national ban on abortion," planning to "put Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block," or attempting to "raise costs on Americans by repealing the Inflation Reduction Act."
Social media ridicules the post
The post in which the Biden administration attempted to politicize Thanksgiving dinner soon got reactions from Republicans who wanted to clear up some of the issues that Democrats were so proud of. Donald Trump's former attorney, Jenna Ellis, tweeted that "the non-binary college freshman majoring in gender studies who needs 'talking points' at Thanksgiving maybe isn't ready for Uncle MAGA, who works 8-5 without complaining, owns property, has raised 4 kids, and voted since before Reagan."
Put this in your pie hole, Ron.

The Republican Party's Deputy Press Secretary, Will O'Grady, scoffed at the publication and claimed that if anyone needed to use this list, they had already "lost whatever argument" in which they were involved.
If you need to use Biden WH talking points at a family dinner, you've already lost whatever argument you're in.

The public was not far behind either and many were inspired to come up with their own parodies. Hundreds of people responded to Klain's post. Americans responded in a humorous way to some of the items on the list:
