Traitor Trump, the GQParty of Fascist High Treason, the ChristoTalibans and the Red Hats have all declared war upon the United States. They have declared war on the rule of law, they have declared war on the US Constitution, they have declared war on the Bill of Rights, they have declared war on the separation of church and state rules, and they have declared war on all of us good, honest, decent people.
They seek to take power and hold onto it, despite what we the People want. They are the minority in the House and Senate, yet obstruct any real progress that would fix the problems that we face.
They scream about gas prices, put the blame on Biden and the Democrats, then vote AGAINST the gas price gouging bill.
They screamed about baby formula shortages, put the blame on Biden and the Democrats then vote AGAINST the baby formula bill.
Trump, the GQP, the ChristoTaliban and the Red Hats have committed seditious actions, treasonous actions against the United States
There is no doubt in many civilized peoples minds that Donald J Trump, the GQParty of Treason, the ChristoTalibans and the Red Hats of Trump have all committed seditious actions and treasonous actions against the United States.
Those that support and defend these actions, such as Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham and those at Faux Fascist Fake News for Nitwit Nazis, OAN, Newsmax and others who seek to cover up for Traitor Trump and the bullshit are also guilty of seditious actions and treasonous actions against the United States by promoting the pathological lies and evil of Traitor Trump and his freakshow.
They have literally declared war, on real law and order, on the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights and anyone who does not agree with their ChristoFascist Nazi ideology of white supremacy and evil. These same fascist piece of shit scum are openly calling for a Civil War II against the United States and are also calling for the use of their 2A rights to murder anyone who disagrees with them.
It is now time to declare all out, no mercy given, no quarter given war against these Treasonous Troglodytes of the Reich Wing of Traitor Trump, the GQP, the ChristoTaliban and the Red Hats. There should be no mercy or quarter given to these treasonous traitors of the United States, the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law.
If these fucking shistains on the diapers of Diaper Donnie, the failed wanna be fascist Dicktater want a Civil War II? If they want to use their 2A rights to brutally murder Democrats, liberals, those they call RINO’s? Then it is past fucking time we declare WAR on them and use our 2A rights to put these rabid dogs of fascist evil down.
It’s Time to Use the GQParty of Treason Game Upon them
The GQParty of Treason, Traitor Trump, his red hats, and of course? Cucker Carlson et al of Faux Fascist Fake News for Nitwit Nazis love to gaslight. Or as this quote attributed to Nazi Joseph Goebbels states:
“Always accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.”
Whether Goebbel’s said this or not is in dispute, but to put this all in modern vernacular? What these scum of the earth are doing is called “gaslighting”.
Gaslighters — people who try to control others through manipulation — will often accuse you of behaviors that they are engaged in themselves. This is a classic manipulation tactic.
These scumbag Fascists? Love to call those of us who dare stand up to them? The fascists. These scumbag traitors? Love to call those of us who stand up to them the traitors.
While they do all they can to take our rights away from us? Whether it be a woman’s right to choose, or for two consenting adults to love who they love, or for religion being kept the fuck out of our personal business and government, or what teachers can teach, or we can read, or even talk about? They accuse us who dare stand up to them of doing what they are doing.
They accused us on the left, whether we are Democrat or Independent who voted for Biden cause we were sick of Traitor Trump’s bullshit? As the ones who committed voter fraud, when it has well been shown that the majority of real voter fraud committed during the 2020 election was done by red hat wearing pieces of shit Trumpers.
When we call out their hate and violence, their white supremacist bullshit? Their circle jerk klan rallies and gatherings with their Nazi wanna be Dicktator Diaper Donnie? They scream how it was BLM or Antifa that caused the violence. Or that BLM protests were all burning down cities, raping white women, killing cops in droves, and all kinds of other bullshit, when most of their gaslighting was either outrageous bullshit lies, and it has long been shown and proven that the majority of the real violence committed during BLM protests was perpetrated by red hat wearing, pathological freakshows from the Proud Gurls and other punk assed white supremacists.
And we can also show that the majority of the worst mass shootings, like at the Las Vegas outdoor concerts, churches, synagogues, mosques, etc were in fact committed by Reich Wing punk assed bitch psychos who espoused white supremacist, reich wing evil.
And it is definitely not the left who are calling for a fucking Civil War II, or the use of 2A rights to murder Democrats and those on the left. Nor is it the left who carry around those traitorous diaper rag flags of the Confederate losers or Nazi losers. It is the Reich Wing Red Hats of Traitor Trump.
It is past time to call these fucking traitors, these fascists, these shitstains on the underwear of humanity, these reich wing fucktards out for who and what they are. To stand up to these can’t understand normal thinking neanderthal sub human troglodytes. No matter if they are those psychos of the GQParty of Treason like Marjorie Traitor Greene, Lauren Bobblehead Boebert, Madison Cawthorn, or some bitch assed punk flying a confederate or nazi fucking flag.
It is past time to fight fire with fire. These scumbags want a fucking war? I say, let’s give it to them. I am willing to bet most of these punks would fold the moment someone started shooting back at them, shit their diapers and go running back to their mommy/wives to change them.
I am betting that those troglodyte bitches Marjorie and Lauren really had done unto them as they have done to others? They would continue to cry they are being persecuted, but so the fuck what? It is time to persecute these persecuter bitches. It is past time to give them back a dose of their own medicine and let them reap back all the fucking hate and evil they have sown.
It is past time to take the fucking kid gloves off. We have in fact tried to treat them with some decency and respect but that did not work. We tried to not really get down into the dirt and mud with them and rise above them, using logic and reason and facts and truth on these twisted fucks and that did not work.
The only thing that seems to work on these fuckers is hate and violence and now? We should give unto them as they have so given unto others.
I am not saying we start a Civil War, or go around murdering these fuckers. What I am saying is? Give them no mercy right now. None at all. Hound the fuck out of them, calling them out for who and what they are. Call them the fucking fascist traitors to their faces. Call them the treasonous scumbag pieces of shit who deserve to be against a wall at Gitmo getting a fucking 21 Gun Ashli Babbit traitor salute. When ever you see them in public? Shame the fuck out of them. They may have no shame, no heart or soul, but shame them any goddamn way.
When they call themselves a Christian? Call them a fucking liar, call them a fucking CINO. Call them a ChristoFascist Taliban traitor. If they use their fucking buybulls, especially Leviticus or Deuteronomy to demand death for lgbts? Demand we use Leviticus and Deuteronomy to put their fucking adulterers to death, starting with hey, multiple adulterers Donald J Trump, Marjorie Traitor Greene, Lauren Boebert and others. And use their own fucking buybulls to tell MTG and Lauren Boebert to shut the fuck up, because they should in fact? Remain fucking silent and have no power over a man. They should go the fuck home and spit out babies for their Christo hubbies and if their hubbies beat the fuck out of them like Lauren’s husband has? Then shut your fucking mouth because the man is the head of the household and according to your fucking buybull you are to submit to him in all things.
When they start their Civil War II?
Make no fucking mistake, these traitors want to start a Civil War and take over this country and institute their fascist, ChristoTaliban bullshit upon all of us. It is only a matter of time before they do. They have already given us a preview of this on January 6, 2021.
These fuckers do not care about the Constitution, they do not care about the Bill of Rights, they do not care about being elected to office honestly and fairly, based on a platform of what they will do to make the country a better place for all of us. These scum fucks want a fascist oligarchy and ChristoTaliban nation. And they will not stop now until they get it. And their next plan will be a true take over via a Civil War.
So, we prepare ourselves. We arm ourselves. We learn how to use our weapons. We learn how do protect and defend ourselves. And we get ready for this. And once these fucking traitors actually start their Civil War II for fascism? We teach these fucking losers a fourth lesson in what losers they are.
BUT THIS TIME? NO STOPPING AT ATLANTA….TIME TO WIPE THESE COCKROACHES OF FASCISM, OF NAZISM, OF CHRISTOTALIBANISM OFF THE FUCKING FACE OF THE EARTH ONCE AND FOR ALL.
AS MY GRANDFATHERS AND GRAND-UNCLES WHO FOUGHT IN WWII SAID? THE ONLY GOOD FUCKING HITLER NAZI IS A FUCKING DEAD ONE, THE ONLY GOOD MUSSOLINI FASCIST IS A FUCKING DEAD ONE, THE ONLY GOOD TOJO BUTCHER IS A FUCKING DEAD ONE.
WHEN THEY START THEIR FUCKING CIVIL WAR? LET’S GIVE THEM WHAT THEY DESERVE, NO FUCKING MERCY, NO FUCKING QUARTER, ONLY DEATH, THE SAME DEATH THEY WANT TO GIVE UNTO US.
Hey Alex, meet me in a fucking ring and I will kick your fucking treasonous ass and shut you up for good.
Would you go to war against your fellow Americans to show your support for President Donald Trump? For the last several months, that’s exactly what broadcaster Alex Jones—a favorite of the president—has been calling for.
In his radio show, on YouTube and on his Infowars website, Jones—who never met a conspiracy theory he didn’t like and who has pushed the notion that Sandy Hook was faked—has been announcing that the United States is on the verge of a bloody second civil war. Like the radio DJs in Rwanda, Jones has been egging on his conservative listeners and viewers—an estimated 2.7 million people monthly—to kill more liberal fellow citizens over their political differences.
Jones is hardly alone in promoting this scary, emerging narrative on the right. The theme gained momentum after the shooting at the congressional baseball game last month. The day before the attack, on June 13, right wing broadcaster Michael Savage, host of syndicated show The Savage Nation, warned that “there’s going to be a civil war” because of “what this left-wing is becoming in this country.” After the baseball field shooting the next day, he said that he “know[s] what’s coming, and it’s going to get worse.” Savage also said of the shooting that “this blood is on [Democrats’] hands.”
After the shooting, Newt Gingrich opined on Fox that “we are in a clear-cut cultural civil war.” Former GOP speechwriter Pat Buchanan wrote that the appointment of a special prosecutor and political street clashes presage a “deep state media coup” and that the nation is “approaching something of a civil war,” and it’s time for Trump to “burn down the Bastille.”
But few commentators can match the relentless hysteria and reach of Jones. His recent YouTube video titles telegraph the tone: “Get Ready For CIVIL WAR!” and “First Shots Fired in Second US Civil War! What Will You Do?” and “Will Trump Stop Democrats’ Plan for Violent Civil War?”
Jones’s followers have already turned broadcaster words into violent action. Last year, Edgar Maddison Welch drove from North Carolina to Washington, D.C., to fire on a pizza restaurant Jones had been saying was a front for Democratic pedophiles and Satanists. Court records indicate he had been talking to his friends about Jones’s theories before he went on his mission. In 2014, a right-wing couple, self-described Infowars fans Jerad and Amanda Miller from Indiana, killed two police officers after posting screeds on Infowars. Jones later theorized that the shooting was a false flag intended to discredit the right.
Media Matters for America (MMA), a progressive research organization, has staff assigned to track Jones Infowars shows daily. According to spokesman Nate Evans, right-wing media has been advocating violence more since Trump was elected, but Jones “has been particularly crazy about it.”
Among the statements MMA has culled from his broadcasts in recent months are the following:
On June 23, he accused “the left” of starting civil war and offered to personally execute convicted traitors because, he said, “I’m not going to sit here and just call for stuff without actually being part of it.” In the same broadcast he said, “I don’t need some coming-of-age deal to kill a bunch of liberals,” but “we have to start getting ready for insurrection and civil war because they’re really pushing it.”
On June 15, he warned “you kick off Civil War 2, baby, you’ll think Lexington and Concord was a cakewalk.” The day before, he implicated himself and his listeners: “You’re trying to start a civil war with people. You’re taking our kindness for weakness. Do you understand the American people will kill all of you? You understand? We are killing machines, you fools.… But I can shoot bull’s-eye at 400 yards, dumbass. I mean, they have no idea who they’re messing with.”
In a May 13 broadcast, he warned that “leftists want a war,” so “cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war.”
Jones has also called for extrajudicially arresting former FBI DIrector James Comey and Hillary Clinton and has encouraged Trump to use the military against dissenters. “I’d support the president right now moving against these people physically,” he said in a June 13 broadcast. “I mean, let’s be honest. We’re in a war. I would support the president making a military move on them right now.”
This is not the first time Jones has attracted attention by advocating violence against federal officials. In April, he let loose with a rant on California Democrat Adam Schiff, the ranking minority member of the House Intelligence Committee looking into Trump’s Russian connections. The profanity laced transcript was also homophobic and included an explicit threat of bodily harm.
“I’m not against gay people. OK. I love them, they’re great folks. But Schiff looks like the archetypal cocksucker with those little deer-in-the-headlight eyes and all his stuff,” Jones said. “And there’s something about this fairy, hopping around, bossing everybody around, trying to intimidate people like me and you, I want to tell Congressman Schiff and all the rest of them, ‘Hey, listen, asshole, quit saying Roger and I’—and I’ve never used cussing in 22 years, but the gloves are off—’listen, you son of a bitch, what the fuck’s your problem? You want to sit here and say that I’m a goddamn, fucking Russian. You get in my face with that, I’ll beat your goddamn ass, you son of a bitch. You piece of shit. You fucking goddamn fucker. Listen, fuckhead, you have fucking crossed a line. Get that through your goddamn fucking head. Stop pushing your shit. You’re the people that have fucked this country over and gangraped the shit out of it and lost an election. So stop shooting your mouth off claiming I’m the enemy. You got that you goddamn son of a bitch? Fill your hand.’ I’m sorry, but I’m done. You start calling me a foreign agent, those are fucking fighting words. Excuse me.”
Alex Jones
Tim Johnson, a Media Matters for America Research Fellow, who tracks Jones says that the civil war theme is a new one, and probably related to the fact that Barack Obama is no longer president, offering a clear, single enemy. “He needs something new, and so it’s that criticism of Trump equals civil war,” Johnson said.
An attorney with expertise in federal law told Newsweek at the time that Jones’s threats at Schiff appeared to break a federal law, U.S. Code Title 18, Section 115, which makes it illegal to threaten to assault a U.S. official and provides a penalty of up to six years in prison.
After Newsweek published that legal analysis, Jones publicly pulled back, and posted a video attempting to clarify his remarks as “clearly tongue-in-cheek and basically art performance.”
Federal officials are not known to have contacted him or looked into the matter.
Even after damaging hearings began, a whopping 59 percent of Fox News viewers say then-President Donald Trump “behaved appropriately” on Jan. 6.
The House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the Capitol began hearings last Thursday in primetime with shocking evidence that included Vice-Chair Liz Cheney‘s revelation that witnesses will testify about Trump’s reaction to chants of “Hang Mike Pence!” — namely, that his VP “deserved” to be hanged
Fox News did not carry that first hearing live, although their newscasters did cover the proceedings on the lower-rated Fox Business Network. Even so, according to a new Yahoo! News/YouGov poll, 53 percent of Fox News viewers either watched live (22%) or caught news coverage later (31%). While a majority, that’s significantly lower than the numbers of CNN (72%) and MSNBC (90%) viewers who watched live or saw coverage later.
Consequently, or coincidentally, there were large disparities on certain questions. Respondents were asked “Do you believe Donald Trump behaved appropriately or inappropriately on January 6, 2021, the day of the attack on the U.S. Capitol?”
While only 19% of CNN viewers and 19% of MSNBC viewers said Trump acted “appropriately,” triple that number of Fox News viewers — 59 percent — said the same, and only 21% said he acted “inappropriately.”
Only Trump voters (65%) and Republicans (61%) were more likely to say Trump acted appropriately, within the margin of error for these subgroups.
Similar disparities were evident on other related questions:
Do you agree or disagree that Donald Trump incited his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol? Agree — CNN:68% Fox News:24% MSNBC:71%
Do you believe the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was part of a conspiracy to overturn the election? Yes — CNN:69% Fox News:24% MSNBC:70%
Do you approve or disapprove of the Congressional committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol? Approve — CNN:73% Fox News:30% MSNBC:77%
White Nationalists With Lanyards: Orlando Showed The Ugly Future Of The Republican Party A weekend in Florida, a major conservative conference, a white nationalist “groyper” conference, and a doomed quest to determine the difference between the two.
For days, journalists, academics and activists scoured social media for clues to solve a vexing mystery: Where was Nick Fuentes going to hold his white supremacist conference?
Fuentes and his fellow organizers had advertised the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) — which was bound to attract hundreds of young American fascists — for Feb. 25, 2022, in Orlando, but included no other details. They planned to reveal the name of the hotel only on the day of the conference, and just to attendees.
It was a cat and mouse game. If anyone discovered the location, the hosting hotel would likely cancel the shameful shindig immediately. It would be bad press, after all, for a company to profit off providing an organizing space for a group led by a Holocaust-denying insurrectionist.
But some people did have the address — powerful people, who showed up as celebrated guests that night. Among them were two sitting members of Congress, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a rising far-right star. They appeared along with an Arizona state senator and the lieutenant governor of Idaho, both of whom have designs on higher office.
And then there was another “mystery” guest who never actually took the stage. HuffPost has learned that Thomas Homan, the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement under former President Donald Trump, showed up to AFPAC. He claimed to HuffPost that the whole thing was just a mix-up, and that he left the hotel quickly, before the conference began.
The decidedly white nationalist conference happened a short, 8-mile drive away at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the preeminent annual gathering of America’s conservative movement, where former President Donald Trump spoke on Saturday evening. Almost every other plausible 2024 Republican nominee, alongside a wide array of powerful GOP members of Congress, also made speeches.
The two conferences were, in many ways, very different. AFPAC was exponentially smaller, held at a secret location so that its attendees couldn’t be identified or doxxed, and livestreamed only via an obscure tech platform. And CPAC was CPAC, the media circus where rising conservative stars peacocked in the national spotlight.
But when it came to messaging, the conferences’ differences sometimes felt cosmetic, a matter of tone or degree, not substance. Both were animated by the same grievances about race, gender, and the 2020 election.
And both conferences shared some of the same attendees and speakers.
There were more than a few moments over the course of the weekend observing CPAC and AFPAC that it felt possible to confuse which conference had been organized by a shitposting white nationalist, and which one had been sanctioned by the Grand Old Party.
A Secretive Gathering

There are a lot of hotels in Orlando — roughly 450. And Fuentes wasn’t giving any clues about which hotel might host his conference, not on his regular livestream, or in his many online posts. His lieutenants didn’t slip up either. While disturbingly young — he is just 23 — Fuentes is a cunning operator. He is the leader of the America First “groyper” movement, who marched in the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.
“The rootless transnational elite knows that a tidal wave of white identity is coming,” Fuentes wrote after that rally, where one of his fellow racists drove a car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing a woman. “And they know that once the word gets out, they will not be able to stop us. The fire rises!”
Congress recently subpoenaed Fuentes over his involvement in a different event: the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection in Washington, D.C., where he was reportedly spotted encouraging people to storm the Capitol.
It wasn’t until about 7 p.m. on Feb. 25, less than two hours before the American First Political Action Conference was set to kick off, that Fuentes’ supporters got sloppy. Jonathan Lee Riches, a notorious far-right troll, tweeted a selfie. It showed him in a hotel lobby posing with a smiling Michelle Malkin, the anti-immigrant activist.
Jared Holt, a research fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab who monitors right-wing extremists, noticed something in the background of the image. It was a blurry doormat emblazoned with a barely legible logo: Marriott.
There are many Marriotts in Orlando, so Holt looked at another photo Riches posted, this one of him posing with Gavin McInnes, the founder of the violent neo-fascist gang the Proud Boys. In the background was a tiled floor with a triangle pattern.
Holt scrolled through photo galleries on Marriott hotel websites until he found the exact same triangle pattern. “Bingo,” he messaged me.
I got in my car and plugged the destination into Google Maps.
When I arrived at the Marriott Orlando World Center Friday evening, two Orange County sheriff’s deputies in bulletproof vests stood near the end of a long hallway inside the conference center. I nodded as I walked past them, toward a group of young white men in suits waving security wands over other young white men in suits.
These groypers — a nickname America First members bestowed upon themselves, a reference to their online mascot, a cartoon toad that’s a variation on Pepe the Frog, the infamous alt-right symbol — had traveled from across the country for this gathering. Most keep their groyper identities hidden in their daily lives for fear of losing their jobs and use online pseudonyms to spew racial invective. AFPAC was their chance to actually hang out in real life, to laugh loudly together at cruel inside jokes, and to bathe themselves in the glory of their dear young leader, Fuentes.
A 20-something-year-old man who seemed in charge of groyper security told me there was no way I was getting in. I walked away and tried to interview a couple of arriving attendees, but the man screamed “No!” alerting them not to talk. “Goodbye!” he yelled at me.
I walked back to the sheriff’s deputies, who had been joined by the head of Marriott security, and asked them if they knew what this event was all about. They seemed sincerely oblivious — it was just another conference for them.
As we talked, a group of about five groypers walked towards us, led by a man with long hair and sunglasses who started to film me with his phone. “Hey, the homosexual conference is that way,” he said to me, pointing to the other end of the center, as his gaggle of groypers giggled. The head of Marriott security intervened, telling them to go back into the conference room.
They obliged; there was no need to kick up a fuss, since the American First Political Action Conference was a go. Fuentes — who in a livestream just a few weeks prior said: “You know what I want? Total Aryan victory” — had successfully and secretly locked down a space in a big hotel, and sheriff’s deputies were guarding the doors.
Marriott International Inc. did not respond to multiple requests for comment as to why it hosted a white supremacist conference. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office didn’t say who requested the deputies to guard the event, but a spokesperson did say the department investigated a bomb threat made to the hotel during the conference. “A check of the area was conducted and a package was located,” the spokesperson said. “The package was deemed safe by our Hazardous Device Team.”
It is tempting to dismiss the groypers as just a bunch of online trolls, spurned nerds on a hateful revenge tour typing away from their parents’ basements. But their ranks are swelling, and they are making inroads with the Republican Party. At AFPAC in 2021, a sitting member of Congress, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), was the marquee speaker.
For weeks ahead of this year’s AFPAC, Fuentes teased even more GOP officials — Gosar again, Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers, former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, and former U.S. congressman Steve King — plus two “mystery speakers.”
At about 9:30 p.m., Fuentes stepped in front of the Marriott lectern, according to a livestream viewed by HuffPost, and got the night underway. He began by praising what he felt made his movement so successful: “Our secret sauce … young white men!” The crowd — and it sounded like a sizable one; Fuentes claimed over 1,000 attendees — broke into rapturous cheers and applause.
Fuentes then, as Russian bombs fell over Ukraine, led the crowd in a chant of “Putin! Putin!”
And finally, before introducing the first mystery speaker, Fuentes issued an apology. His first choice, he explained, had a family emergency. Thomas Homan, who oversaw the Trump administration’s brutal anti-immigration policies as head of ICE, had arrived at AFPAC, Fuentes claimed, but had to rush away. He sadly wouldn’t be speaking.
Homan confirmed to HuffPost in a phone call this week that he had indeed arrived to speak at AFPAC. His assistant had arranged the appearance, he said, and Homan said they may have confused Fuentes’ group for another one. “So many names of conservative groups sound the same,” Homan said.
While sitting at a table waiting for the conference to start, Homan said he looked over the agenda for the evening and decided he’d better Google Fuentes’ name. He saw some stories labeling Fuentes a white nationalist, but he was doubtful of them — Homan said he himself has unfairly been called a bigot and a racist for “enforcing immigration laws.” But then he found a recent story that did disturb him, about Fuentes praising Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. This prompted Homan to leave the conference before it started. He says he never met Fuentes. “Shame on me for not doing my research,” Homan told HuffPost.
I asked Homan if it inspired any self-reflection that someone like Fuentes would want him at AFPAC. Homan said he didn’t know why Fuentes invited him, reassuring me that he himself is not a racist, he just likes secure borders.
A few minutes later Homan called me back to make sure I understood something. “I’m not saying this is a bad group,” he said of Fuentes and the groypers. “I’m saying I don’t know.”
Faith And Executions
Don’t worry, Fuentes assured his supporters after sharing the news about Homan; he had wrangled someone just as well known. “She is a standard-bearer of Trumpism in the U.S. Congress,” Fuentes said. “She is pro-life, she is proudly America first … We are honored, we are humbled and excited to welcome her to the stage right now … I think this is going to be the beginning of something great — the representative from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene!”
Greene, who had just heard Fuentes cheer on Putin and admit to leading a movement for “young white men,” hugged Fuentes and took her place behind the lectern.
She began her speech by invoking her faith, leading the groypers to break into a chant of “Christ is king!” Then Greene — a transphobic QAnon conspiracist booted off Twitter for promoting COVID denialism who was stripped of her committee assignments last year for advocating violence against Democrats — told the assembled white nationalists that they, like her, were “canceled Americans.”
“You’ve been handed the responsibility to fight for our Constitution and stand for our freedoms, and stop the Democrats who are the communist party of the United States of America,” she said.
The evening’s other mystery guest speaker was Janice McGeachin, the Republican lieutenant governor of Idaho, whom Trump recently endorsed in her bid for the governorship. She told the assembled white nationalists to “keep up your good work fighting for our country.”
Then McGeachin told the groypers that they were “literally in the fight for our lives” in the Republican Party. “I thank you for joining our efforts,” she said, “and together we will fight to make Idaho great again.”
Gosar, last year’s top-billed speaker, appeared via a pre-recorded video this time, delivering a brief, forgettable statement. It was his home state colleague who stole the show.
Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers appeared at AFPAC remotely, via video conference, standing in front of the Arizona state flag. She addressed the crowd as “groypers,” to great cheers, and praised Fuentes, who she said had been “de-platformed everywhere” for saying things that anger “the media and the far left.”
“I truly respect Nick because he’s the most persecuted man in America,” Rogers said, adding that AFPAC was “standing up to tyranny.”
Then the state senator called for their mutual political enemies to be executed.
“I’ve said we need to build more gallows,” Rogers said. “If we try some of these high-level criminals, convict them and use a newly built set of gallows, it’ll make an example of these traitors who have betrayed our country.”
She wasn’t the only AFPAC speaker to call for murder.
“Tony Fauci literally unleashed a bio weapon on the world,” far-right podcaster Stew Peters told the crowd at one point, falsely blaming the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for the coronavirus pandemic. “Why is this man running around free instead of hanging on the end of a noose somewhere?”
Peters was followed on stage by Vincent James Foxx, a former propagandist for the neo-fascist street-fighting club Rise Above Movement. “They want to replace you,” he said of non-white immigrants, invoking the “Great Replacement,” a conspiracy theory frequently cited in the manifestos of white supremacist mass murderers. “Western white culture is the majority culture, to which even non-whites assimilate into today — and they’re better off for it.”
State Sen. Rogers thought this was just great.
“Vincent James run for office,” she wrote on Telegram after Foxx’s speech.
On Wednesday, the Arizona state Senate voted 24-3 to censure Rogers over her gallows remarks. The rare bipartisan resolution has no practical effect beyond rebuking Rogers, and also makes no mention of white nationalism.
“I do not apologize, I will not back down and I am sorely disappointed in the leadership of this body for colluding with the Democrats to attempt to destroy my reputation,” Rogers wrote in response to the censure.
Thomas Zimmer, who teaches 20th century history at Georgetown University, watched clips from AFPAC with horror, and was particularly alarmed by Rogers.
“This is not some far-right internet troll, but a Republican state senator, and it’s impossible to adequately understand American politics without grappling in earnest with why her radicalism is widely seen as justified on the Right and within the GOP,” Zimmer wrote in a tweet.
“I fear that — after four years of Trumpism in power, after January 6, with rightwing fascistic militancy now all around us — we have become so accustomed to outrageous political acts that we might be becoming numb to how bizarre, how extreme, how dangerous these developments are,” he added.
AFPAC dragged on for hours, long after the nightly fireworks at Disney World exploded in the nearby sky — a spectacular sight that, for Orlando locals, has been rendered routine — and as, thousands of miles away, Ukrainians repelled a Russian attack in Kyiv.
“Now, [the media is] going and saying, ‘Vladimir Putin is Adolf Hitler,’ as if that isn’t a good thing,” Fuentes said in the closing speech shortly before 2 a.m., before adding, “Oops, I shouldn’t have said that.”
The room went wild.
Fuentes praised the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, too, pointing out that a few people in the crowd had been arrested for their actions that day. “I’ll reiterate just for you,” he said, “Jan. 6 was awesome.”
He paid lip service to some right-wing conspiracy theories about the attack being orchestrated by the FBI as a ruse to arrest conservatives, saying such theories “may very well be true.”
“But,” he added, “I was proud to be an American on Jan. 6, 2021. And I’d like to believe it was real. I’d like to believe Americans have the heart and the guts and the balls to do what they did on Jan. 6. I’d like to believe what they did was real.”
Fuentes wore a VIP badge to Trump’s speech in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021, shortly before hundreds of people stormed the Capitol — something he encouraged. “Keep moving towards the Capitol; it appears we are taking the Capitol back!” he told them through a megaphone. “Break down the barriers and disregard the police. The Capitol belongs to us!”
In a press release, the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6 said it wanted to question Fuentes over his role in the “Stop The Steal” movement, which pushed the lie that the election was stolen, and to ask him about tens of thousands of dollars he received in Bitcoin from a French computer programmer ahead of the Capitol attack. Fuentes has said he’ll plead the Fifth to the committee, unless they put him on TV.
“If they televise my appearance, I absolutely will do it,” he said on a livestream. “If I get to go to Congress, and I get to sit there, and I get to talk about groypers, and I get to go off … I absolutely will do it.”
Bleeding Into CPAC
Hours before she spoke to the groypers,soaking up cheers from a crowd of young men who savor saying racist slurs on livestreams and who would very much like it if America were a whites-only country one day, I had spotted Greene flitting around CPAC, relishing her celebrity status, posing for photos, and being interviewed at one of the many media booths.
Greene was scheduled to appear on CPAC’s main stage on Saturday at 11:15 a.m. as part of a panel on cancel culture that was set to be broadcast live on Fox Nation.
Before dawn that morning, I emailed the American Conservative Union, the group that organizes CPAC. Greene had just been the featured speaker at a conference of Nazi sympathizers; would she still be an official part of CPAC’s line-up in the morning?
I wanted to know if Greene lending the imprimatur of her office to a group of groypers was enough for CPAC to, well, cancel her. I hadn’t gotten a response by 10 a.m., so I called an ACU spokeswoman named Allison. She sounded somewhere between panicked and annoyed, either with me or with her bosses, I couldn’t tell. No comment, she said. She had passed my message along to the heads of ACU, she told me, adding: “It’s out of my hands.”
A short time later, for the second time in less than 12 hours, I watched Greene walk onto a stage to loud cheers.
I’ve written this story — about Republicans openly organizing with, promoting, endorsing, parroting, and aligning themselves with white supremacists — many times over the last five years. When Greene walked off the CPAC stage, I knew what would happen next. She would be hounded by reporters asking her for comment.
She wouldn’t apologize, and then she would lie, claiming ignorance about the groypers’ beliefs. She’d say the media was just trying to cancel her again by playing a game of guilt-by-association. She’d say she just wanted to talk to a group of young, civically engaged conservatives.
That’s exactly how it played out. “I talked about God and liberty,” Greene tweeted about her AFPAC appearance. “I’m also not going to turn down the opportunity to speak to 1,200 young America First patriots because of a few off-color remarks by another speaker, even if I find those remarks unsavory.”
Then the reporters would press her Republican colleagues: Do you denounce Greene? Will she face any punishment? Her colleagues would mostly demur, claiming not to be familiar with what happened. Eventually Ronna McDaniel, head of the Republican National Committee, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnel (R-Ky.) would issue statements that did notdirectly denounce her.
They would use the same boilerplate phrasing they always do. There is “no room,” “no space” and “no home” for white supremacists in the GOP, their statements would say, a claim rendered absurd by the sheer number of times they’ve had to respond to requests for comment about the latest white supremacist in the GOP.
Eventually House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Cali.) would promise to give Greene a good talking-to. The press would move on to other stories.
It’s a frustrating and exhausting news cycle that, in the Trump era, presumes far-right luminaries like Greene are somehow fringe members in the Republican Party, that their racist and conspiratorial views are an anomaly, and that older, allegedly respectable conservative leaders — McConnell, McCarthy, Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) — have the power to put her in her place.
But that’s all make-believe. As Ben Lorber, a research analyst at Political Research Associates and one of the foremost chroniclers of the groypers, noted recently: “The rising hard-right flank — represented in Congress by [Greene], Gosar and others — is setting the conservative agenda, and they view these leaders (correctly) as the out-of-touch establishment.”
Republican candidates across the country, including Senate hopeful and “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance, have all sought Greene’s endorsement. A stroll around CPAC showed how the GOP is, in many ways, her’s and the groypers’ party now.
Shortly after Greene’s speech, an 89-year-old man sat down at a table inside CPAC’s expo hall and started to sign copies of his book, “Sheriff Joe Arpaio: An American Legend.”
Arpaio — the former Maricopa County sheriff who terrorized Arizona’s Latino population for a quarter century, unlawfully detaining undocumented people in a jail he once proudly likened to a “concentration camp” — had also spoken to the groypers mere hours earlier, at 1 a.m., regaling the young fascists with tales of putting his prisoners in chain gangs, or emasculating them by forcing them to wear pink jumpsuits. (He even brought one of the jumpsuits with him to AFPAC, showing it off to the crowd from behind the Marriott lectern.)
An estimated 160 people died in Arpiao’s jails, many by suicide. This long, cruel career made him a national conservative star and, in 2020, Trump pardoned him on charges stemming from a ruling requiring him to stop racial profiling.
“Finished a great book signing at CPAC and a keynote speech in front of over 1000 young people at AFPAC,” he tweeted Saturday.
Near Arpaio’s book signing were booths for organizations hoping to recruit college-aged conservatives: Young Americans for Liberty; Students for Life of America; Turning Point USA.
TPUSA, the premiere MAGA organization on college campuses across the country, has done its best to distance itself from the groypers, but often fails. In 2019, TPUSA dismissed its brand ambassador after she was photographed at a dinner with Fuentes.
And just this past January, TPUSA’s social media account on Gab went rogue and wrote: “I’m glad everyone on Gab is based enough to see through TPUSA’s bull shit. Guess I’d rather be kicked from the organization than go on with their homosexual zionist crap….Follow @realnickjfuentes.”
Young groypers stalked the halls of CPAC this year, distinguishable only by their blue America First baseball hats. “White boy summer!” I heard one yell, using a slogan the group adopted last year.
Another groyper posed for a photo with CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp.
Fuentes is not allowed at CPAC, likely because he’s too antagonistic of a figure, and would generate too much bad press. But that doesn’t mean CPAC bans white nationalists.
Reporters spotted AFPAC attendee Jared Taylor, founder of the white nationalist organization American Renaissance, in the halls of CPAC Saturday, sporting a conference lanyard around his neck.
CPAC didn’t respond to a request for comment on why Taylor (who once wrote, “Blacks and whites are different. When blacks are left entirely to their own devices, Western civilization — any kind of civilization — disappears”) was allowed in the conference.
Meanwhile on the CPAC main stage attendees could see speakers like Pizzagater Jack Posobiec, QAnon congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and COVID denialist Alex Berenson.
Scott Presler, an anti-Muslim activist who played a big role in organizing 2020’s “Stop The Steal” rallies, talked to his fans in the hallway. Mark and Patricia McCloskey — the wealthy St. Louis couple who gained right-wing fame for pointing guns at Black Lives Matter protesters — were in the hallway too, passing out photos commemorating their viral moment to promote Mark’s senate campaign.
Everywhere, MAGA merchandise and videos and books declared the movement’s opposition to “critical race theory” and “cancel culture.” CPAC’s motto for the weekend was “AWAKE NOT WOKE” and the entire gathering felt like a festival of unrepentance, a celebration of the refusal to apologize for being anti-vaccine, for being racist, for being transphobic, and for Jan. 6.
The Only Good Nazi, Fascist or White Supremacist is a dead one.
The Worst Is Yet To Come
To varying degrees, the Republican Party has always kept the far-right around. But sometimes the animal breaks out of the cage. Jan. 6, 2021 was the day the GOP’s aggrandizement of wild conspiracies and its elevation of radical groups and fringe figures — many of whom found homes at CPAC — boiled over and changed history.
This year, CPAC treated the events of that day as an embarrassing family secret. Only one event on the agenda specifically addressing the insurrection: a conspiracy-laden speech by Julie Kelly, author of the book “January 6: How Democrats Used the Capitol Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right.”
But attendees were not nearly so sensitive. The first two people I interviewed at the conference both admitted to being at the Jan. 6 rally in Washington D.C. that turned into the attack. Neither had gone into the Capitol, and neither believed that those who did were actually Trump supporters, despite abundant evidence to the contrary.
Anna Villalobos is the proud owner of a company called MAGA Hammocks. She swayed back and forth in one of her “TRUMP 2024” hammocks inside the CPAC expo hall, remembering Jan. 6 as a “peaceful” event. Infiltrators, she claimed falsely, had been “paid” by the Democrats to stir up violence.
I asked her what her evidence was for this claim.
“Because we don’t act like that,” she said. “Conservatives, we don’t do that. I’ve been in a lot of rallies for Trump with thousands and thousands and thousands of people and never ever, ever, ever saw any behavior like that …That’s my evidence.”
This abiding MAGA belief was shared by Katie, clad in red, white and blue cowboy boots, who didn’t want to provide her last name or her job. She told me she traveled to D.C. on Jan. 6 from her home in Boulder, Colorado. “I’m sure what you have been told or understand to have happened is a complete fiction,” she said, rattling off a series of conspiracies about “antifa” and FBI agents infiltrating the protest to goad Trump supporters towards violence.
She carried on trying to convince me the election was stolen, citing a video of Georgia poll workers purportedly stuffing ballot boxes with fake votes. (They were not.)
At CPAC, it was an article of faith that the election was stolen, the Capitol attack was a false flag, and that the Capitol attackers still in pre-trial detention were now political prisoners.

One of my final interviews at CPAC was with Angel Harrelson, 44, who I spotted wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words “DUE PROCESS DENIED: FREE MY January6er.”
When I approached her, she was on the phone with her husband, Kenneth Harrelson, who is currently in jail in Washington, D.C.
Kenneth Harrelson and nine fellow members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia group, were arrested last year for storming the Capitol. In January, they were hit with seditious conspiracy charges — the most serious charges yet in relation to Jan. 6. He faces decades in prison.
“They keep calling it a militia group, it’s an organization,” Angel told me. “I don’t know why they do that because, I mean, it’s not, I don’t think it is, anyway. It might be. I don’t know.”
She feels her husband is being treated unfairly, that he should’ve been able to get out on bond, and she worries about the conditions in the jail where the government is detaining him.
“They’re being fed rotten food,” she said. “They are living inside these pods that still has black mold in it. Marjorie Taylor Greene actually went in there with a few people, so did the U.S. marshal. They went in there, they told them they need to fix this and it’s still not fixed. … It’s a horrible situation, not just for my husband but for all of them.”
Angel and Kenneth Harrelson live here in central Florida — the cradle of the insurrection, where a high number of Capitol rioters have been arrested — and have not seen each other since his arrest March 2021.
“I haven’t seen him in a year,” she said, claiming the jail in D.C. doesn’t allow virtual visits. (HuffPost couldn’t independently verify if this is true.) “He hasn’t seen his kids or talked to his kids in a year.”
I asked her how the folks at CPAC were responding to her T-shirt and to her story.
“I’ve gotten a lot of hugs and a lot of prayers,” she said.
There are bound to be more Angels among the MAGA faithful — conservatives so committed to a gospel of insurrection that they or their loved ones will embrace political violence, with assurances from cynical, power-hungry preachers like Trump and Fuentes that their sacrifice was worth it
There was a moment maybe, in the months immediately following Jan. 6, that the Capitol attack seemed like it could’ve been the climax of MAGA violence. But what I witnessed in Orlando last weekend made Jan. 6 feel like a mere preview of the tumult to come.
Yes, this sewer hole from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene is in fact? A treasonous traitor to the US and should be treated as such
Extremist GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) wondered in a weekend interview why people are picking on homicidal white supremacists.
She said that there are so many other criminals to complain about instead — like undocumented immigrants. She also said people should be talking about the “Asian man” who killed a member of a California church last week, and the “Black man” who drove his car into Wisconsin shoppers last year.
She added, incongruously, that it “shouldn’t be about race.”
Greene made the comments as she attacked Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) for railing last week in the House against the avowed white supremacist suspected in the horrific assault at a Buffalo supermarket targeting Black people last week that killed ten people.
Why is there a “target” on white supremacists? she asked in an interview from her car (below) with the right-wing outlet Real America’s Voice.
“White supremacy shouldn’t be the main target,” the lawmaker argued. “We should be more concerned about the illegal invasion at the border, the crime happening every single day on our streets, especially in cities like Chicago. We should go after criminals that break the law and not pursue people based on their skin color.”
But race clearly is critically important in hate crimes. The FBI reported last year that the number of hate crimes in the U.S. in 2020 was the highest in two decades, triggered by a surge in assaults largely by white men on Black and Asian Americans, Hispanics and Jews.
There were 51 hate-crime murders in America in 2019, the highestat that time since the FBI began tracking the toll in the 1990s. Most murder victims were Blacks, Hispanics and Jews.
“Preventing racial hate crimes means tackling white supremacist ideology,” said a position paper posted last week by the Brookings Institution. Over the past 20 years, the number of hate groups in the U.S. has jumped 100%, it noted.
Nadler’s reference to the Buffalo shootings that so incensed Greene was part of his argument to pass the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act to crack down on the problem. The bill is supported by Democrats, but Republicans are lukewarm.
The killings all involved white shooters inspired by the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which baselessly claims there’s a plot to replace whites with people of color, immigrants and Jews. Greene’s reference to an immigrant “invasion” was a clear dog whistle to believers in the imagined plot.
Hey Marjorie Traitor Greene
You really need to go fuck yourself by shoving one of your goddamn weapons of death up your fucking ass and pulling the trigger and blowing your brains out, because that is exactly where your unevolved brain resides.
YOU deserve to be in Gitmo, right now you treasonous, traitorous troglodyte, up against the wall, blindfolded, and receive a true Ashli Babbit treasonous traitor salute, 21 gun, right to your fucking ugly mug, you horse faced rabid bitch for fascists, white supremacists, Nazis and Traitor Trump.
The only good Marjorie Traitor Greene? Is a fucking dead one, but after she is arrested, tried and convicted for High Treason, Sedition and Insurrection against the United States.
It is becoming increasingly clear that among Republicans holding political office, there are thus far only two senators that can be considered patriots. A loose, but apropos, the definition of a patriot is any person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors in good times and bad. Conversely, there are clear signs that many in the Republican movement are culpable of giving aid and comfort to America’s enemies; what 18 U.S. Code § 2381 considers “Treason:”
“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.”
Of course this issue of “treason” is about more than dishonest Donald Trump’s close affiliation with and stated intent to “adhere to America’s enemies and give the Russians aid;” it is also about the Republicans who aided the Russians to interfere with America’s democracy. The aid to an enemy was in not alerting the American public of a hostile foreign power’s involvement in electing an acknowledged “friend” of Russia, one who may be an American citizen, but has absolutely no sense of “allegiance to the United States.”
First, if anyone has any idea that Trump is not intent on “giving aid and comfort” to Russia just look at dirty Don’s proposed selection of Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State. Tillerson has close ties, and owes allegiance, to Russian President Vladimir Putin; a dictator Tillerson considers a friend he has known for over two decades. Tillerson is regarded as such a friend to Russia that Putin awarded him the country’s Order of Friendship in 2013; the year prior to Washington’s relationship breakdown with Moscow over Putin’s aggressive annexation of Crimea and its “shadow war” in Ukraine. An aggression Trump condones and hinted that if he was elected then America would help Putin expedite his conquests by abandoning its European allies.
One thing is crystal clear with Tillerson; his allegiance is not to America any more than Trump’s is and that includes the Republicans who knew about Russia working with the Trump campaign to put a traitor in the White House. And yes, any American whose allegiance is to a foreign power hostile to the United States is a traitor, and by extension is guilty of treason; including those who knew about the Trump-Russia campaign collaboration and aided it with their silence.
However bad a traitor dastardly Don is, the issue of the Republicans who knew about the Russian interference and kept their mouths shut makes them complicit; and they are guilty of another federal crime including Senate Majority Leader Mitch “Benedict Arnold” McConnell as reported here. According to 18 U.S. Code § 4 – Misprision of felony:
“Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.”
Even if McConnell was unaware that, with Russia’s assistance, Trump would win the election and immediately put a Putin BFF in charge of the State Department, he did know that an adversarial foreign power was in contact with Trump’s campaign and that they stole American data to put their “comrade” in the White House.
For dog’s sake, if it is against federal law to solicit campaign donations from foreign entities, something Trump did with impunity, then it is undoubtedly treason to coordinate with a foreign power to hijack America’s democracy in a bloodless coup d’état of America’s government.
Besides traitors Trump, McConnell, FBI Director James Comey, and Trump’s campaign staffers, one-time New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, a close Trump confidante and ally, knew about the illegal Russian involvement in Trump’s campaign and its theft of America’s property. In fact, according to a Politico article, Giuliani said before the revelation Clinton emails were stolen, “The Russians have those emails, they’ve had them for some time.” There is only one way Giuliani knew the Russians had the stolen emails and was going to pass them to their paid operatives in Wikileaks; the Trump campaign knew despite their lying claims to the contrary.
Scott Dworkin, Senior Advisor to the “Democratic Coalition” stated the obvious:
“Rudy Giuliani stated that he knew the Russians had hacked into and stole property that belonged to Secretary Clinton, it doesn’t get much more clear-cut than that. It’s not surprising that someone so close to Trump’s campaign would have knowledge of the attacks perpetrated at the hand of a foreign government.”
Just the concept of any American not being absolutely outraged over a statement such as a citizen having knowledge of attacks “at the hand of a foreign government” is honestly unbelievable. This is particularly true when after months of reports of “suspected” involvement of a foreign government, America’s intelligence community verified what Trump, McConnell, FBI Director Comey, Rudy Giuliani and Trump staffers knew all along; Russians were intimately involved in helping their comrade Trump win the election to garner “aid and comfort” from a cabal of traitors who should be arrested, prosecuted and convicted of treason; the only crime the Founders actually defined in the U.S. Constitution.
IMPACT: Marjorie Taylor Greene is a member of Congress who has used her platform to promote and endorse an endless array of hate speech and conspiracy theories rooted in racism, Islamophobia, and antisemitism. She is a follower of the QAnon conspiracy theory, has repeatedly made claims of a “deep state” controlling the country, and has harassed and bullied other members of Congress as well as survivors of school shootings. She has also endorsed calls for violence against members of Congress.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a Republican member of the US House of Representatives, serving Georgia’s 14th congressional district. Prior to her political career, she co-owned a construction company with her husband. Greene ran unopposed for Congress. Despite news reports uncovering Greene’s antisemitic, anti-Muslim, and racist comments, she received continued support from numerous Republican mega-donors, including the “board chairman of the prominent conservative think-tank the Heritage Foundation.”
In August 2020, then-candidate, Greene tweeted that she had been “invited to attend President Trump’s acceptance speech Thursday evening at the White House.” Former president Donald Trump repeatedly praised Greene and at one point called her a “future Republican star.” During an August 2020 victory speech after winning the Republican nomination, Greene called Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, “anti-American” and a “b***h.” Greene won the November 2020 election, becoming the “first supporter of the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory to win a US House seat.”
Greene is a promoter of dangerous far-right conspiracy theories, such as QAnon, Pizzagate, and the belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Many QAnon followers believe “the world is run by a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles who are plotting against Donald Trump while operating a global child sex-trafficking ring.” A November 2020 Guardian article also noted that the “FBI has identified the movement as a potential domestic terrorism threat, and it has repeatedly inspired vigilante violence.”
Marjorie Traitor Greene is pure trailer park, white trash shitstain on the underwear of humanity and Congress.
Greene’s affinity for conspiracy theories dates back to 2017 when she began producing articles for the now-inactive “American Truth Seekers,” a conspiracy-ridden “news” website. An August 2020 NBC News article reported that Greene was a “correspondent” for the site where she “wrote favorably of the QAnon conspiracy theory, suggested that Hillary Clinton murdered her political enemies, and ruminated on whether mass shootings were orchestrated to dismantle the Second Amendment.” In total, Greene authored a reported fifty-nine articles for the site.
Greene is a vocal supporter of former president Donald Trump. In a 2017 article she wrote for “American Truth Seekers,” Greene supported Trump’s calls for extreme vetting of immigrants, stating, “It is not wrong or hurtful to institute extreme vetting for people with Muslim origins that want to enter this country. Political correctness does nothing but hide the truth and the real issue.”
During a 2018 speaking engagement at a conservative conference, Greene suggested that the September eleventh attacks were part of a government conspiracy. Media Matters reported that Greene questioned what she claimed was “the so-called plane that crashed into the Pentagon,” saying that “It’s odd there’s never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon.” During this speech, she also falsely claimed that former President Barack Obama “is a Muslim” and accused him of having “opened up our borders to an invasion by Muslims.” In August 2020, she tweeted, “Some people claimed a missile hit the Pentagon. I now know that is not correct.” However, in the same tweet, she made claims about the deep state, which a February 2021 piece in Haaretznoted is “a conspiracy theory based on the antisemitic trope of a secret cabal; the terms “globalism” and “open borders” are both dog whistles for a white nationalist theory that Jews and other minorities are attempting to destroy white society.”
In 2018, Greene reportedly shared an antisemitic and anti-Muslim video,“complaining that she had been censored from speaking about the issue of ‘illegal invaders.’” The video was created by users of forums 4chan and 8chan, whosplicedthe presentation of an academic out of context to make it appear as if she was “discussing a Jewish plan to destroy Europe.” The video also quoted Nick Griffin, a former leader of the far-right British National Party (BNP), “warning about an ‘unholy alliance of leftists, capitalists and Zionist supremacists’ plotting to destroy European society by ‘breeding us out of existence in our own homelands.’”
The White Scum supporting and defending Traitor Trump or the GQP are in fact? All Nazi scum. And you all know what we should do to Nazi scum right?
In 2018, Greene made anti-Muslim statements directed at the American Muslim Women Political Action Committee. A CNNinvestigation uncovered Greene’s Facebook posts from 2018 where she posted, “Wtf is their [the American Muslim Women PAC] mission??? To make sure every women is dominated by Islam, is covered in sheets, loses our freedoms, and has to have our vaginas mutilated???.” Additionally, Greene liked a comment describing the PAC as an “invasion,” and like another comment that said, “We don’t need gun control! We need Muslim control!”
In 2018, Greene also claimed that the Camp Fire, the devastating 2018 California wildfire, was started by space lasers. A February 2020 Haaretzpiece stated that Greene suggested the laser was “controlled by a prominent Jewish banking family with connections to powerful Democrats.”
In June 2020, Politicouncovered several Facebook videos by Greene in which she expressed racist, Islamophobic, and antisemitic views. The now-deleted Facebook videos showed Greene suggesting that the 2018 midterms were part of “an Islamic invasion of our government” and that “anyone that is a Muslim that believes in Sharia law does not belong in our government.” She referred to Minnesota representative Ilhan Omar as “that woman out of Minnesota” who “has got to wear a head covering.” She also called Jewish philanthropist George Soros a Nazi, and compared Black Lives Matter activists to neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members. In one of the videos, she also claimed that “the most mistreated group of people in the United States today are white males.” In another video, she stated, “If you want Islam and Sharia law you stay over there in the Middle East. You stay there and go to Mecca… you can have a bunch of wives or goats or sheep or whatever you want. You stay over there. But in America, you see, we made it this great, great country and we don’t want it messed up.”
In January 2021, the Independentreported newly uncovered video footage showing Greene harassing two Muslim women members of Congress, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, in February 2019. The video was taken prior to Greene’s election and shows her walking through the halls of Congress, “claiming that Ms Omar and Ms Tlaib were illegitimate Democratic representatives because they took their oaths of office on the Quran instead of the Bible.” She states, “We’re going to explain about how you can’t swear in on the Quran. We’re going to have the Bible and ask them if they would swear in on the Bible … I think that’s important.” There is no law in the United States that requires an elected official to take the oath of office with a Bible or any other religious text.
A September 2020 CNN piece reported that Greene had “posted on her candidate Facebook page an image of herself holding a gun alongside images of Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib and encouraged going on the ‘offense against these socialists.’” In response, Facebook removed the photo, saying the image violated the platform’s policies. A January 2021 CNN investigation found that Greene had “repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress.” Greene reportedly liked a comment on a Facebook post from January 2019 that said “a bullet to the head would be quicker” to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Additionally, she liked other comments about executing FBI agents. The investigation further found an April 2018 Facebook post where Greene wrote “conspiratorially about the Iran Deal, one of former President Barack Obama’s signature foreign policy achievements.” In response, a commenter asked Greene, “Now do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O ???,” referring to Obama and Hillary Clinton. Greene replied, “Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off.”
A February 2021 CNN investigation found numerous videos of Greene from 2019 and 2020, in which she encouraged protesters“to flood the Capitol” and endorsed political violence to defend freedom. In one 2020 video, Greene states, “The only way you get your freedoms back is it’s earned with the price of blood.” Greene supported claims of a stolen election and even objected to the election certification process for the 2020 presidential election results. Following the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol by a pro-Trump supporters, Greene denounced the violence but falsely blamed it on “BLM/Antifa violence.” Even after the insurrection, Greene was one of 139 House Republicans who voted to overturn the results of the Electoral College. On January 21, 2021, the day after Joe Biden was inaugurated as president, Greene filed articles of impeachment against him.
In February 2021, Newsweekreported that Greene was co-sponsoring Representative Jeff Duncan’s “Old Glory Only Act,” which would bar any flag beside the American flag from being flown at US embassies. In her statement on the bill, Greene targeted the flying of the Black Lives Matter flag on government property, calling the organization a “radical Marxist group.” She stated, “The domestic terrorists represented by that flag have burned down our cities with the mission of defunding our police. We should NOT be flying a flag of a group who wants to erase history and bring mass destruction to our country through Communism.”
In February 2021, following the introduction of a resolution from Democratic members of Congress to remove Greene from her committee assignments, Greene reportedly apologized during a closed-door conference among House Republicans. A February 2021 piece in the Independent revealed that Greene “received a standing ovation from her GOP colleagues.” Another February 2021 piece in The Hillreported that a group of House Republicans filed an amendment to “Democrats’ resolution to strip Greene of her seats on the House Education and Labor and Budget committees that would instead replace Greene’s name with [Representative Ilhan] Omar’s.” Omar described the GOP’s amendment as “a desperate smear rooted in racism, misogyny, and Islamophobia.” On February 4, 2021, the House of Representatives voted to strip Greene of her committee assignments.
In January 2021 Media Matters reported that Greene agreed with comments calling the 2018 Parkland school shooting a “false flag” operation. The CNNinvestigation also “found additional comments from Greene where she called David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland school shooting and activist, ‘#littleHitler’ and spread a conspiracy that he was a ‘bought and paid little pawn’ and actor.” Following revelations of these comments, students who survived the Parkland school shooting and families of the victims called for Greene’s resignation. Greene has also suggested that the deadly school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary was staged.
During a February 2021 townhall in Georgia, Greenepraised anti-Muslim social media personality Laura Loomer, and claimed that Loomer was “one of the most canceled people” due to her “reporting stories” on Ilhan Omar and her ties to radical Islam, the fact that she married her brother. Twitter didn’t like that very much, so they kicked her off of Twitter. She also got kicked off of Facebook, but Laura does not stop.” Later in the month, Greene endorsed Loomer’s bid for Congress in 2022, stating Loomer is “exactly the type of America First Patriot that I need standing beside me on the House floor.” In March 2021, the DailyBeast reported that Loomer had called for a “white ethnostate during a 2017 podcast.” Greene herself has posed for a picture with former Ku Klux Klan leader Charles Dole, who called Greene a “friend.”
On January 17, 2021, Twitter suspended Greene’s personal twitter account “citing violations of a company policy that it recently used to remove thousands of QAnon-related accounts.” The suspension lasted for twelve hours. On March 19, 2021, Greene was reportedly suspended from Twitter for a second time for another twelve hours.
On March 19, 2021, Representative Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) introduced a resolution to expel Greene from Congress over her previous support for violence against Democrats. Gomez stated Greene trafficked in conspiracy theories that “advocated violence against our peers, the speaker and our government.”
Nazi Fascist White Supremacist and Treasonous Traitor Elise Stefanik
U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has become the face of the Republican Party’s embrace of the racist, white supremacist, and white nationalist “Great Replacement Theory” after a white 18-year-old man drove 200 miles and allegedly slaughtered 10 Black people in Buffalo. Stefanik’s Facebook ads and her rhetoric in recent months have been highlighted as contributing to advancing the baseless conspiracy theory, but rather than pull back and apologize the chairwoman of the House Republican Caucus is being accused of “doubling down” on her “terrorist rhetoric.”
“Democrats desperately want wide open borders and mass amnesty for illegals allowing them to vote. Like the vast majority of Americans, Republicans want to secure our borders and protect election integrity,” Stefanik tweeted Monday morning.
“There is nothing humane or compassionate about Joe Biden & Democrats wide open border and amnesty policies. It is Joe Biden’s Border Crisis. A tragic humanitarian crisis. A national security crisis. An economic crisis. And the American people know it,” she also tweeted Monday.
Immediately before those tweets, Stefanik issued a press release attacking the media for “disgraceful, dishonest and dangerous … smears” that accuse her of the very same “Great Replacement Theory” rhetoric she minutes later went on to invoke.
Noted economist David Rothschild, a frequent political commentator, calls Stefanik’s tweets “terrorist rhetoric.” He criticized her Monday morning, saying the New York Congresswoman “is doubling-down with numerous [tweets] this morning echoing the Buffalo’s terrorist’s manifesto with baseless, hateful rhetoric designed to encourage violence against minorities, immigrants, and Jews.”
Not one of these nasty troglodytes would be accepted into Adolph’s Master Race. They do not even come close to his ideology of what the master race was. Matter of fact? These are the kinds of mental midget morons that Hitler sent to his death camps when he went after his own “defective” Germans.
The self-identified white supremacist who slaughtered 10 Black people inside of a Buffalo, New York supermarket last week was a known risk to local law enforcement and even published a 180-page manifesto in which he outlined his hateful ideations.
According to an analysis published in The Guardian on Wednesday, however, the ideas that the mass shooter espoused – enhanced by his aridly creepy selection of words – were not his original thoughts. Instead, the outlet found that the gunman copied and pasted his text from various posts that he read on the dark web right-wing hub known as 4chan.
The document “allegedly released by the accused along with a video of the attack, is rife with pseudo-scientific racism, antisemitic conspiracy theories and a call for others to mimic his violence,” the investigation revealed, adding that “the screed is mostly plagiarized from other extremists” on 4chan.
Peppered throughout the viciously bigoted musings were references to the Great Replacement Theory, a fringe belief that immigrants with higher levels of epidermal melanin are invading the United States and committing genocide against White Americans.
The hateful treatise “details the baseless racism that underpins the philosophy, including the idea that Jewish people secretly control the world, and that the genetic differences between the races make them incompatible. One particular image, sourced from 4chan, claims to show ‘the truth about race’ – compiling a handful of debunked, misunderstood, or cherrypicked studies to assert the claim that certain races are inferior to whites,” wrote The Guardian, noting that it “even seeks to back up its claims with the long-abandoned pseudoscience of phrenology, which studies the sizes and shapes of craniums.”
Excerpts of missives authored by the indicted domestic terrorist on the instant messaging app Discord that The Guardian obtained indicate that he felt as if he had found a community in which he belonged. The Guardian also pointed out that he viewed 4chan as a dependable source of information, noting that “he confessed to browsing 4chan daily” and admitted that he “barely interacts with regular people.”
The perpetrator stated in one exchange that “I only really turned racist when 4chan started giving me facts.” In another instance, he claimed that “White genocide is real when you look at data, but is not talked about on popular media outlets.”
The foundation of those repugnant conspiracy theories has been promoted by prominent conservative figures like Fox News propagandist Tucker Carlson, misogynist podcaster Nick Fuentes, Republican Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance (whom former President Donald Trump endorsed), and, most notably, Representative Elise Stefanik of New York, who chairs the GOP Conference in the House of Representatives and is the only Jewish Republican currently serving in Congress.
Stefanik in particular has been under heavy fire in the week since the Buffalo massacre over her cache of anti-immigrant talking points as well as her championing of Great Replacement during conversations with journalists and appearances on mainstream news networks.
The danger they pose is immediate and substantial. But it is not unforeseen.
Last September, The Times UnionEditorial Board warned that the “undeniable echo of Nazi Germany” has been “resonating ever since in the right-wing, repackaged lately in what’s known as ‘replacement theory,’ espoused by conservative media figures like Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. And it has seeped into the mainstream political discourse in the Capital Region, where Rep. Elise Stefanik has adapted this despicable tactic for campaign ads.”
Stefanik, the newspaper’s editors continued, “isn’t so brazen as to use the slogans themselves; rather, she couches the hate in alarmist anti-immigrant rhetoric that’s become standard fare for the party of Donald Trump. And she doesn’t quite attack immigrants directly; instead, she alleges that Democrats are looking to grant citizenship to undocumented immigrants in order to gain a permanent liberal majority, or, as she calls it, a ‘permanent election insurrection.’ Quite a choice of words, of course, considering that the country is still suffering the aftershocks of the Jan. 6 insurrection in Washington by supporters of Mr. Trump who tried to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.”
Queen’s University Assistant Professor of Religion Amarnath Amarasingam expanded on these points to The Guardian.
“We have seen (the great replacement myth) playing a greater role in mobilizing individuals to violence because it has a somewhat unique ability to foster a sense of emergency,” she explained. “You can hear it all over the Buffalo shooter’s manifesto – a deep sense of urgency that there is an imminent collapse of white people and white culture. Combine all this with the furious nihilism, racism, and angst of 4chan and it all becomes deeply worrying.”
So how did a seemingly unsuspecting teenager become helplessly enraptured by online hate? The answer provided by The Guardian was as bewilderingly simple as it was unnerving.
The culprit, whose name will not appear in this article out of respect for his victims – “including Aaron Salter, a security guard who tried to stop the shooting; local activist Katherine Massey; and substitute teacher Pearl Young” – reportedly joined 4chan out of “extreme boredom” during the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020.
He has been charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder.
On Tuesday, May 17, the Big Lie and the “Stop the Steal” movement enjoyed a major victory when Pennsylvania State Sen. Doug Mastriano — a far-right Christian nationalist and QAnon ally — won the 2022 GOP gubernatorial nomination in the Keystone State. Mastriano has been a forceful supporter of the claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from former President Donald Trump, but he is hardly alone in that regard. From Pennsylvania to the southwestern swing state of Nevada, the Big Lie has become a litmus test in the Trumpified GOP — and the Las Vegas Sun’s editorial board, in a biting editorial published on May 15, poses the question: Are there any Republicans left who are willing to stand up for democracy?
The answer to that question is that yes, some right-wing Republicans are willing to aggressively stand up for democracy — in the U.S. House of Representatives, for example, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois have been blistering critics of the Big Lie. But Kinzinger isn’t seeking reelection, and Cheney will be gone from the House in 2023 if she loses a GOP congressional primary in Wyoming. Cheney and Kinzinger are the exception, not the norm, in the MAGA-oriented, increasingly authoritarian GOP of 2022.
The Sun’s editorial board focuses heavily on Nevada politics, but its message is relevant whether one lives in Nevada, Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida or Maine.
“No one knows better than Nevadans when it’s time to put our cards on the table,” the Sun’s editorial board writes. “The editorial board, and Nevadans as a whole, are facing an agonizing problem. We have endorsed Republicans in the past and might do so again in the future. Yet as we survey the field of Republican candidates across the state, we are struggling to identify those who are not an active threat to American democracy or the institutions of government that have sustained our republic for 250 years. Those are the stakes here for the GOP. For Nevada. For our voters.”
The Sun’s editorial board goes on to describe the “violent insurrection” of January 6, 2021 and the vicious assault on the U.S. Capitol Building as “one of the darkest days in U.S. history” — arguing that the Big Lie is just as toxic now as it was then.
“Since the insurrection,” the Sun’s editorial board warns, “Republican leadership across the nation has worked to disenfranchise voters, allow themselves to defy the will of voters outright and to allow partisan interference in the vote count…. (Nevada) gubernatorial candidate Joey Gilbert was actually at the Capitol that day, spinning unfounded conspiracy theories about election fraud and accusing those Republicans who believe the vote was legitimate of being ‘RINOs (Republicans in Name Only)’ who should be removed from the party.”
The editorial board continues, “(Gilbert) didn’t think that those who vandalized the halls of our Capitol or threatened police officers should be tossed out; he cheered them on. And he’s not alone…. As we wrote last October, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo disgraced himself by not condemning the violent right-wing groups that have been welcomed into the Nevada GOP, leaving Southern Nevadans to wonder whether their sheriff will protect and serve everyone in our community regardless of political persuasion.”
Nevada’s Republican and Democratic primaries will be held on June 14.
“Of the five leading Republican candidates for the governorship of Nevada, every one of them has gone on record as both supporting and contributing to the Big Lie,” the Sun’s editorial board laments. “In doing so, they have all made a choice to subvert our democracy, undermine the integrity of our elections, and ignore the Constitution of the United States. Will GOP leaders stand up for the rule of law and free and fair elections by rejecting autocracy and lies? Or will they continue to debase themselves and their formerly great party by kneeling to their unhinged demigod, Donald Trump, and his dreams of authoritarianism?”
