It is likely a parody of the fact that the incoming Trump administration has missed a deadline to file an ethics statement. Elizabeth Warren has called them out on it.

Liberal critics are frustrated that Trump got elected and the thing that the Dems are complaining about is that Trump did not file the appropriate paperwork.

Feels very similar to me.

This will all be posted on Info Wars soon.

The funniest thing about The Onion buying Info Wars is that I can see a good chunk of the audience continuing to get their news there and not realizing that anything has changed.
