Apparently the MTG appearance/connection with Fuentes was brokered by Milo :bleeding:

Remember Nick Fuentes and America First from the Louis Theroux video?

Here's a thread about their event: https://twitter.com/BenLorber8/status/1497405274667290625?s=20&t=qfCD0C5rZ8ymK-0kxN0VCg

Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke at their event (apparently Paul Gosar is also a fan?). Fuentes also gives a round of applause for Russia (naming Russia and China as positive counter examples to "diversity").

Sure, it's on the fringe now. But so was the tea party movement, or Trump, once.

QuoteRomney: Marjorie Taylor Greene a 'moron' for speaking at white nationalist event
Paul Gosar also spoke at far-right conference, as calls for the censure of the two Republicans ring out again

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar, members of Congress who spoke at a white nationalist event in Florida this week, are "morons" with no place in the Republican party, Mitt Romney said on Sunday.

"I'm reminded of that old line from the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid movie," the Utah senator and 2012 presidential nominee told CNN's State of the Union.

"One character says, 'Morons. I've got morons on my team.' I have to think anybody that would sit down with white nationalists and speak at their conference was certainly missing a few IQ points."

Greene, from Georgia, and Gosar, from Arizona, spoke at the America First Political Action Conference, or AFPAC, organised by the far-right activist Nick Fuentes. Greene defended her attendance, saying she did not know Fuentes or endorse his views.

Calls for the censure of the two Republicans, familiar from previous instances of extreme behaviour, rang out again on Saturday.

So how is this "white nationalism is okay" vs "that's finally a bridge too far" schism going to play out in the GOP, do you think?

The Brain

After everything that has happened since 2016, Mitt Romney STILL thinks that the GOP is a better party than the Democrats. In the words of horrible Facebook memes: let that sink in.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Backtracking like Greene did in the article.

I recognize everyone except  :tinfoil:

And no doubt Taylor Greene is two lengths ahead.

Flynn's not a carrot top and everyone else is a member of Congress.
