Prominent Twitter users, including Elon Musk and others, torched satire site “The Onion<\/a>” this week after it made a post depicting Disney character “Goofy” brutally murdering Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla.<\/p>\n

Users ripped the bizarre and bloody post for being “jarringly unfunny,” “gross,” and “irresponsible.”<\/p>\n

In an attempt at commentary on DeSantis\u2019 ongoing legal fight against Disney \u2013 the company has filed a lawsuit against DeSantis, accusing him of leader of orchestrating a “targeted campaign of government retaliation” against it \u2013 The Onion portrayed classic character Goofy murdering the governor in a political cartoon.<\/p>\n

DESANTIS SAYS DISNEY LAWSUIT HAS NO MERIT, COMPANIES SHOULDN\u2019T HAVE \u2018THEIR OWN GOVERNMENTS\u2019<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Published to the site\u2019s “News in Photos” vertical, the poorly photoshopped image depicted Goofy covered in blood while holding a blood-soaked crowbar. The character was standing in what seemed to be a fancy suburban home living room, clearly positioned over the body he beat to death.<\/p>\n

The title for the graphic image clarified what exactly readers were looking at. It stated, “Goofy Beats Ron DeSantis<\/a> To Death With Crowbar.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In less than 24 hours gruesome photo was viewed nearly six million times on Twitter and liked by 62 thousand people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though not everyone found the image amusing. Many users found the image mean-spirited, unfunny, and remarked that if conservatives had made an image with a character murdering a Democrat leader, they would be canceled.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk<\/a> ripped the image on Saturday, tweeting, “The Onion has become jarringly unfunny. At the heart of humor is a revealed truth, but woke is a lie, so it is humorless.”<\/p>\n

Conservative columnist Tim Young claimed, “If this were a Republican joking about killing a Democrat… there would be a media s***storm, protests and non-stop crying from the left until The Onion was canceled.”<\/p>\n

Conservative influencer “ALX” mentioned the double standards showcased in people supporting this gruesome post while hating posts made by conservative satire site, The Babylon Bee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He tweeted, “The same people who were outraged at @TheBabylonBee for telling the truth<\/a> about \u2018Rachel Levine\u2019 will have no problem with this Tweet from The Onion.”<\/p>\n

Daily Caller reporter Nicole Silverio commented, “Imagine if a conservative made this sort of joke about a Democrat.”<\/p>\n

Newsbusters managing editor Curtis Houck similarly noted, “If The Onion did this with a Transformer and, say, Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom, Oliver Darcy, Ben Collins, Brandy, Irish Brian Stelter, and the whole crew would be freaking out.”<\/p>\n

Breitbart News\u2019 Brandon Darby admonished the outlet, stating, “Irresponsible in today\u2019s political climate. You\u2019ve lost your way.”<\/p>\n

National Libertarian Party Chair Angela McCardle wasn\u2019t fond of the post. She tweeted, “The Onion went downhill over 10 years ago when it was taken over by Clinton-loving joyless scolds. I’m not offended by a bloody Goofy joke. It’s just not funny. @TheBabylonBee has replaced The Onion.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
