Someone is trolling a senator with mean fortune cookies
Back in my day, people sent hate mail to their representatives the good old fashioned way -- with letters.
When I was a young kid, I once sent "hate mail" to George H.W. Bush using cut out magazine letters, accusing the president of failing to adequately protect the dolphin community. Nowadays, angry citizens are more sophisticated. They're even willing to use edible means of engagement.
Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, for example, started receiving fortune cookie hate mail.

The senator also says he received a cookie which "expressed a hope for me to be trapped in an elevator" with people who were angry at him. The cookie was possibly a reference to an incident where protestors crowded Senator Jeff Flake in an elevator during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.

The Senator further requested that he be sent a fresher batch of hate mail cookies:

Listen: If you're a member of the left, there are plenty of reasons to hate Senator Sasse. He's a strong conservative. His book, The Vanishing American Adult: Our Coming-of-Age Crisis--and How to Rebuild a Culture of Self-Reliance, received mixed reviews, with one outlet accusing the Senator of being a "millennial bashing baby."
But do you really want to waste a perfectly good fortune cookie on a Senator? Fortune cookies are some of the best mass-produced cookies in the damn game. It's hard to even find them in supermarkets.
My fortune is now telling me to go out and consume a whole bag. Thanks for the inspiration, Senator Sasse's troll.
We've reached out to Sasse's office for comment, and we'll update this post if we hear back.
