I guess even the Freedom Caucus has standards when it comes to Greene and that says a lot from a group that also includes Jim Jordan, Paul Gosar and Madison Hawthorne.


Quote:

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert reportedly almost came to blows over Greene’s appearance at a white nationalist event in February, to the point that someone had to step in between them to de-escalate the confrontation. Three people close to the Freedom Caucus confirmed the spat to Politico, which took place during a meeting of the caucus’ board of directors.

This doesn’t seem to be the case. Politico notes that Boebert “detests” being tied to Greene, and that she was none too pleased with Greene’s decision to give a speech at a white nationalist conference organized by Nick Fuentes during which speakers pushed the “great replacement” theory, called for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be hanged, called for the audience to cheer Vladimir Putin, and gave winking nods to Hitler.

Both Greene and Boebert are too radical for me. They correspond to the likes of Maxine Waters and AOC on the other end of the spectrum.

sorry, but Rolling Stone.

What they did with the fake UVa rape case means they don't get "forgiven, and all is well!" They have to re-establish any semblance of trust. Given the Digital Age, they have been satisfied going right back to similar reporting credibility.

Sorry.


Now, as a Republican, I think MTG and Cawthorn are idiots of the highest order. Probably Gosar too for some of his stuff.

. Boebert at least drew the line at speaking White Supremacy rallies, there is still hope for the Freedom Caucus and at least she has some ethics. Criticism from the other members was in short supply.

But I give you credit for criticizing Gosar and Cawthorn, I wish more would do the same.

How many congresswomen end up in a wrestling match within the same party, sure no big deal.

Georgia needs to get her out of here next election, what was the point in electing her.

Was it an actual white nationalist group or just a conservative-leaning group that the left is trying to demonize (as usual)?

EDIT: Ah yes, as I suspected not white nationallist at all.
