‘The Good Liars’ On Their Midterm Campaign Pranks: What Worked, What Didn’t And Why Politics Has Gotten More Dangerous

When Herschel Walker wrapped up a campaign appearance several weeks ago, TV news cameras caught a man in sunglasses, briefly conversing with the U.S.

Senate candidate as he tried to hand him a lengthy strip of condoms. It was soon apparent that it was a gag and, generating at least two million views on Twitter, one of the more successful pranks executed by The Good Liars, the comedy duo of Jason Selvig and Davram Stiefler who, since the Occupy protests of 2011, have specialized in infiltrating campaign events and, as best as they can, interacting with candidates and their supporters.

Their satire is largely focused on the right. They have irritated Donald Trump by heckling him for being “boring.” They have performed an “exorcism” on Ted Cruz.

This cycle, Stiefler interrupted a campaign event for J.D. Vance, running for U.S. Senate in Ohio, asking for a refund for Vance’s book, Hillbilly Elegy.
