The whole site is obviously fake, but it's funny. But it's not a hacked site, it's a parody site in his name.

People like to do that. They buy a site that mirrors someone they don't like. Then they fill it with negative stuff about that person. It happens alot.

LOL..Toby Morton from South Park and MadTV created the site....

Toby Morton is an American comedian, documentary filmmaker, online activist, political critic, and screenwriter.[1][2][3][4] A member of the Democratic Party,[4] he is well known for creating websites satirizing and antagonizing Republican figures for their stances on political subjects.[2][5] In addition, he has written several comedy series and shorts, including South Park (1997-) and Mad TV (1995-2016).[6]

In 2019, after mocking former U.S. representative Devin Nunes (R-CA) with a satire account on Twitter, "Devin Nunes' Cow" (@DevinCow), Morton made a website parodying him, inspired by a candidate who took his opponent's domain name to redirect to his site. Morton's page garnered traction after being shared online and, since then, has created over 70 websites.[5][4][11][10] Targets include Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), and the Proud Boys, and representatives Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Jim Jordan.[3][2][5][4] By June 2022, Morton planned to spoof Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Kyle Rittenhouse, and Mitt Romney (R-UT).[4]

In May 2022, Morton formed elisestefanik2022.com, a website teasing Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and her Great Replacement conspiracy theory, a view claiming that immigrants and minorities outnumber white people in the United States; she shared the idea following the 2022 Buffalo shooting, which the shooter, Payton Gendron, also cited.[12][10] Morton had planned to publish the page the same day as the shooting but waited to do so later.[4] After sharing the page on Twitter, he direct-messaged Stefanik, replying, "You think the numbers from this tweet are impressive, just wait until I release the website traffic information from the first 24 hours".[12] The following month, Morton received an email claiming to represent Stefanik, demanding the site be taken down under a preemptive pardon given to Stefanik by Donald Trump. Morton pointed towards lacking evidence that she did this.[4]

In August 2022, Morton launched senatorronjohnson.com,[13] a site he had teased in June parodying Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI).[4]

In October 2022, Morton created karilake2022.com, satirizing Kari Lake. Lake had offered Morton 150 dollars in September to get the domain, but when he refused, she blocked him on Twitter afterward.[15]
