Josh Mandel, a Republican candidate running for an Ohio Senate seat, was widely mocked after his attempt to troll Democrats online backfired.
Mandel, who has used his Twitter account to promote conspiracy theories about Covid-19 and to discourage vaccinations, childishly blasted Democrats, saying that you can't spell the word "panDEMic" without "DEM."
You can\u2019t spell \u201cpanDEMic\u201d without \u201cDEM.\u201d Is this a coincidence?— Josh Mandel (@Josh Mandel) 1632104834
Actually, the first use of the word "pandemic" can be traced back to the mid-17th.century, long before the modern Democratic Party existed.
It is derived from the Greek words pán, which means "all, every, whole," and dêmos, meaning "the people," a reference to the people residing in ancient Greek states.
And could Mandel have foreseen how his words could be turned against him into a spectacular self-own?
People trolled him right back.
You also can't spell "REPrehensible" without "REP." Is that a coincidence?https://twitter.com/JoshMandelOhio/status/1439778144815304706\u00a0\u2026— Kansas For Pete Buttigieg \ud83d\udc1d (Jodi C) (@Kansas For Pete Buttigieg \ud83d\udc1d (Jodi C)) 1632158558

If you rearrange the letters in Josh Mandel, you get "DJ Manholes", which I understand is his rap name.https://twitter.com/JoshMandelOhio/status/1439778144815304706\u00a0\u2026— Dave Keon's Cousin (@Dave Keon's Cousin) 1632153237
Mandel's tweet is only his latest attempt to downplay the severity of the pandemic.
In a recent interview, he downplayed the severity of the pandemic, referring to vaccines as "immoral" and "unethical."
Earlier this month, he was accused of trivializing the Holocaust after he compared Covid-19 vaccine mandates to Nazi Germany and urged his followers to "NOT comply with the tyranny."
