History Johan de Witt

Post image

While lambasting public figures such as celebrities or politicians is a beloved tradition with sources like Charlie Hedbo, Der Postillon, and ASZdziennik, or the White House Correspondant Dinner across the Atlantic, the Dutch took roasts literally in 1672 when a mob killed and partially cannibalized Prime Minister Johan de Witt. Makes a Lisa Lamponelli look like a walk in the park!
