‘Tis the season for impeachment, and one choir decided to update a Christmas classic to reflect the political theater going on in Washington, DC.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reworked the lyrics for the song “Twelve Days of Christmas”, replacing the iconic “Partridge in a Pear Tree” and “my true love love gave to me” with “on the first day of Christmas Congress gave to me impeachment and divided country.”
Here are the new lyrics for the song on the video, which includes clips of key players in the drama, including President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Reps. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Devin Nunes (R-CA), members of the Deep State diplomatic corps, academic witnesses and even a protester.
