'Gowdy got owned': Internet heaps mockery on the GOP as Strzok's hearing becomes a circus

Conspiracy theory promoter Mark Finchem scrambled to respond on Tuesday after a bombshell exposé by CNN's investigative team.

"CNN’s KFile team uncovered previously unreported posts from Mark Finchem, an Arizona state representative who won his party’s nomination with the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, on several social media websites linked from his since-deleted former Twitter account," CNN's Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck reported. "The posts included a Pinterest account with a 'Treason Watch List,' and pins of photos of Barack Obama alongside imagery of a man clad in Nazi attire making a Nazi salute; Finchem also shared photos of the Holocaust claiming it could happen in the United States."

On Tuesday, Axios reported that Digital World Acquisition Corp., the so-called special purpose acquisition company, or "blank check" company former President Donald Trump used to finance his social media platform Truth Social, is moving to request a delay in its second-quarter earnings report.

"The success of Truth Social and its parent Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) rides on the financial health of its parent company and its SPAC," reported Sara Fischer. "In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Tuesday, DWAC said it was unable to file its second-quarter earnings report 'because additional time is needed to prepare the financial statements.' DWAC noted it would file its earnings report within the five-day grace period allotted by the SEC."

The Catholic News Agency reported that rosary sales are up after The Atlantic posted a piece saying that Christian nationalists and gun extremists are adopting the practice of praying the rosary. Many Catholics already have a rosary, but obviously buy new ones whenever they see fit.

“The rosary has acquired a militaristic meaning for radical-traditional (or “rad trad”) Catholics," wrote Daniel Panneton for The Atlantic. “Militia culture, a fetishism of Western civilization, and masculinist anxieties have become mainstays of the far right in the U.S.—and rad-trad Catholics have now taken up residence in this company."
