Fans of Veep know Jonah Ryan as the extraordinarily tall, insult-magnet careerist constantly struggling to get ahead.
Now, fittingly, his character is running for congress.

You can follow along with Ryan’s fictional campaign on his very real interactive campaign website Jonahryanforcongress.com.
Complete with advertisements, vague exaggerations and entirely saturated with the stars and stripes, the website is a perfect satire for those of actual candidates.
In his several ads, Ryan describes himself as both a “power player” and a “political outsider” — two things that mean the opposite of one another and also somehow both untrue.
The way he chases the boy through the playground before menacingly posing with an axe is classic Jonah.
Even still, Ryan has us convinced that he’s the right man for the job. Now, if he could just get that donation page working.
