Depends on what characters are there. You probably should stay in character if you are going as Wily Coyote and there is a roadrunner there. Meep... meep. Or a Trump and a Hillary. Beep...beep.

Just go for it, PC is highly overrated.

It depends on just how awful this character is. Since we don't know, we can't really give a true opinion.
It also depends on if all the guests are close friends that know you. Then you could do some of the behavior in a laughing / light hearted way.
If there will be people that you don't know, maybe you could still do some of the character, but I would tread lightly.

I am not suiting up as Josh Earnest, whose very name makes me rof and...consider his naming as having been well done.

White House Press Secretary. Hard to pick a name other than his one for that job. Joseph Fibbs?

Personally, I would not dress up as a political figure unless it was someone I admired. You will only upset those of the political persuasion that you are mocking. Politics and religion are the two subjects that are best kept at home. On the other hand, if you don't really like these people at the party, then GO FOR IT!

Excellent advice.

What is the reason for offending some other group. Just be yourself, isn't that enough.

[kittygilchrist]

OK.
The question I asked was addressed by rubicon.
