My list:

1-AOC (has posted memes from it before in response to critics on Twitter, demographically good fit for fan of the show.)
2-Jon Ossoff (Like about as demographically perfect to be a fan of the show as one can possibly get.)
2-Ritchie Torres (black, young, and gay, all demographics that make one more likely to be a fan of it.)
3-Bill Pascrell (Has basically the exact same politics and "style" as Seth MacFarlane.)
4-Sara Jacobs (Rich young woman.)

Family Guy isn’t funny so probably all the congresspeople who have bad humor

Everything in this post is wrong. It's very likely that AOC absorbed family guy reaction image from her general surroundings on the internet, and has never displayed a deeper awareness of it. Jon Ossoff strikes me as likely to be repelled by the show's often open anti-semitism, and we know from the exposure of the kinds of jokes he liked in college that his tastes in humor do not run as lowbrow as FG. I do not see how the section on Ritchie Torres tracks at all, youth maybe does but among the young Torres culturally clashes both with family guy's generally anti-woke appeals and the profile of its writer's room. This isn't in general the kind of joke Bill Pascrell likes, and the show's anti- Italian stances don't mesh well with the kind of upbringing he likely had. Sara Jacobs is a tech heiress. I have a hard time seeing the hatred between them and FG not being mutual.

Yes on the last 2.   But is a career diplomat really part of the "rich" class tho?  Not arguing. Just askin'

The other 3 would probably cower in the face of public outcry*.

The top four suspects have to be the Rhode Island congressional delegation.

None of them lol.

The older politicians are too mature to watch it, and the younger liberals think it’s too offensive and the younger conservatives think it’s not offensive enough.

Also I’d hope our political leaders have better humor than that.

No one above the age of like 15 should be consistently watching Family Guy.

Peter Meijer is a known Simpsons fan (early seasons), so it's not too far-fetched to think he's a Family Guy fan as well

Liberals love Family Guy. The NY Times once did an analysis of TV viewership by area with voting patterns and found that Family Guy is the show most correlated with voting Democratic. And it's not a conservative show at all, lol, the show is brutal in mocking conservatives and is liberal as f[inks]. I mean they did an episode just to skewer Trump. Of course Republicans won't watch it and get triggered by it. (Peter Meijer might be an exception because he voted to impeach Trump and seems to have never liked him.)

Peter Meijer also likes Rick & Morty but I don't hold that against him
