Gay comedian Randy Rainbow has read the soon-to-be former vice president Mike Pence to filth – and gay Twitter is here for it.
Pence is largely reviled by queer people for his anti-LGBT+ views, including his staunch opposition to same-sex marriage and his support of conversion therapy.
The vice president, who claimed that panic about a second wave of coronavirus was “overblown” in June, was given the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on live television on Friday (18 December) – and Randy Rainbow didn’t miss his chance to stick the knife in.

We all had such high hopes for 2020, the Year of the Rat. Last February I wrote, “2020 will be reasonably lucky for all signs, even Rats.” Wrong again! This year is widely reviled, mostly because of the ways COVID-19 has ravaged the lives of people in every country on the planet. As I write this, the number of people killed by the virus in this country has surpassed 300,000. More than 1 in 20 Americans have contracted it. Our lives are severely circumscribed by the precautions we take in an attempt to limit the contagion. Some resent being told to wear a mask in public, feeling it somehow cramps their style. They should lighten up and watch comedian Randy Rainbow’s video, “Cover your freakin’ Face,” as he sings to the tune of “Put on a Happy Face:”

In August, a tweet from comedian Randy Rainbow resurfaced, sparking controversy: “Why is it OK to call it a ‘white noise’ machine, yet offensive to say that I bought it to drown out all the ‘black noise’ in my building?” At the end of June, a white woman was recorded shouting at her new neighbors for being noisy, calling them the n-word even though they were white. And in mid-June, in the midst of Black Lives Matter protests against police brutality, Donald Trump tweeted “THE SILENT MAJORITY IS STRONGER THAN EVER!!!” These instances are only a few in a long line of events this year that demonstrate an American myth that intertwines white dominance with silence.

Rudy Giuliani’s last hope of forgetting the moment he began melting live on TV is gone forever thanks to Randy Rainbow, who’s immortalised it forever in song.
The infamous news conference where a strange brown liquid started running in rivulets down Giuliani’s cheeks was undoubtedly a low career point in a year he’d already marred with a Borat controversy and a chaotic appearance at Four Seasons Total Landscaping.
So it was an obvious target for Randy Rainbow, renowned Republican slayer and king of satirical songs, who eviscerated Trump’s “slimy-faced” lawyer in a new holiday-themed video.

In a new holiday-themed video, comedian and Republican-slayer Randy Rainbow is taking on yet another member of Trump’s losing team. This time the victim is Trump’s “slimy-faced” lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
The satirical video sees Rainbow changing the lyrics of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” to “Rudolph the Leaky Lawyer” in order to absolutely destroy any semblance of dignity Giuliani once had.
Rainbow looks dapper in his tux as he skewers Giuliani’s dripping sweat, lies, and bizarre on-screen rants. Rainbow gets in plenty of jabs at the former New York mayor, but the video is really sold just by including clips and pics of Giuliani with hair dye dripping down his face.
