She captioned the announcement, ‘2020 won’t stop ripping off VEEP, so we had to do something about it.’
Louis-Dreyfus began her video by delivering a voiceover, played over images from her HBO comedy series that bore a striking resemblance to the recent US election.
‘Over the past few weeks, many brave and patriotic Americans have come forward, having witnessed similarities between our ongoing election and the TV show Veep,’ began the native New Yorker.

The images in question were from the satirical show’s fifth season, which aired in 2016, long before near-identical, conflicting demands were made during the real life 2020 election.

Louis-Dreyfus then went on to parody Giuliani’s bizarre My Cousin Vinny reference from his press conference, when she looked offscreen and asked, ‘Have you watched Veep? It’s one of my favorites. With the nice lady?’
