"SIMP"PATHETIC MELANOMA

I wonder how marjorie greene
"remembers" that school shooting scene
"the democrat hoax"
of "victimized" folks
as the sympathy weathercock queen?

Hello, Thomas...

The use of quotation marks absolutely adds to the sarcasm you were hoping to illustrate.  Unfortunately, politics here in the U.S. suffers a lot from "air quotes."  

Thank you!
