Mulvaney's Cameo Catastrophe: 'RINOs' Confused with Rhinos at the Zoo

RINO Joke Misfires in Cameo Video Featuring Trans TikToker. Rick Becker, a Republican candidate for the U.S. House, commissioned a Cameo video from Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender TikToker, to congratulate his opponent Julie Fedorchak on her new job at the DC zoo, where she will be working with rhinos. Mulvaney, unaware of the political context, praised Fedorchak's work on green energy and reducing coal plants, and wished her luck in her new role. The Cameo was intended to highlight Fedorchak's conservative credentials, but Mulvaney's unawareness of the double meaning of "RINO" (Republican in Name Only) has sparked controversy.
