One speaker at this weekend's Conservative Political Action Conference belongs to a Japanese cult that believes its leader is a reincarnated alien from Venus who was responsible for creating all life on Earth.

Vice News reports that Jikido "Jay" Aeba, a regular speaker at CPAC events, is a major figure in an organization called Happy Science that has a series of bizarre beliefs and is notorious for peddling "miracle cures" for the novel coronavirus.

Reacting to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) comments that he would support Donald Trump if he becomes the Republican Party presidential nominee in 2024, "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brezinski rained hell on the Republican for "making a deal with the devil."

The MSNBC host went so far as to point out that McConnell's wife -- former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao -- even quit in disgust over the president's actions that led to the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6th.

With co-host Joe Scarborough discussing Trump's legal problems that will dog him if he plans another run, saying the ex-president will be, "fighting so many lawsuits that he's never going to come up for air to run for president of anything. That is his own fear himself, that he will be fighting lawsuits and running from the law the rest of his life," Brezinski brought McConnell into the mix.

"I don't understand that deal with the devil at all," she began. "I guess I could understand it when a few votes hung in the balance. This is a strange balance that Mitch McConnell is striking; having it both ways and putting the function of our democracy and security of members in Congress in danger yet again. Trying to pretend it didn't happen. Trying to pretend Trump somehow didn't happen -- and he can run again?"

"No, I thought you said there was an insurrection. I thought you said it was all because of him and his words. I thought you said that actually he had so much power and he used it and abused it and used it to bring the people in and attack our Capitol," she continued. "But now you would vote for him again? Wow. Your wife left in disgust during the insurrection? Okay."

Watch below:

A pickup truck bearing a Three Percenter militia sticker that was parked outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has been traced to the husband of a Hitler-quoting Republican lawmaker.

Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) gained infamy two days after she was sworn in -- and one day before the deadly riot -- by saying Adolf Hitler "was right on one thing," and the militia-endorsing pickup was linked to her husband by the @capitolhunters Twitter account that's crowd-sourcing efforts to identify participants in the insurrection, reported The Daily Beast.
