An attempt by far-right conservatives to get #ImpeachBidenNow trending on Twitter went down in flames early Friday morning as fans of K-Pop took over the hashtag and buried in a flood of pictures of their favorite stars and dance clips.
As Variety reported, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) -- a newly elected lawmaker with a penchant for conspiracy theories -- announced on Thursday that she has filed what will turn out to be an ill-fated bill to impeach President Joe Biden one day after he was inaugurated. As like-minded far-right extremists try to push #ImpeachBidenNow to the top of the trending chart, they ran into the K-Pop resistance, which hijacked the hashtag and ruined their plans.
As Variety noted, conservatives were previously defeated by the same crowd when they tried to get "#whitelivesmatter to trend months ago.
Below is a sampling of what conservatives might be exposing like-minded followers to if they share the hashtag.
The US Senate confirmed retired general Lloyd Austin as secretary of defense Friday, the second cabinet nominee of new President Joe Biden to gain approval and the first African American to lead the Pentagon.
Austin sailed through with overwhelming support from both Biden's Democrats and opposition Republicans, who voted 93-2 in his favor.
"The View" co-host Meghan McCain wasn't about to join in the celebration of the new presidential administration's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
The other co-hosts were pleased to see Dr. Anthony Fauci speak more freely than he'd been permitted under former president Donald Trump, but the conservative McCain bashed the infectious disease expert and President Joe Biden.
