Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) suggested recently that hogs must be shot to death from helicopters because of "Democrat policies."

During a Trump rally over the weekend, Greene told conservative outlet Gateway Pundit that she is holding a sweepstake to allow one person to go helicopter hog hunting with her.

Norm Pattis, an attorney for Alex Jones, was admonished by Judge Barbara N. Bellis on Thursday after he smeared the character of opposing counsel.

During his closing remarks, Pattis complained that he was being maligned because of his representation of Jones.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones threatened on Tuesday to back out of testifying in a defamation case brought against him by parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook shooting.

During the third week of the Connecticut trial, Jones held a press conference outside the courthouse.

Appearing on MSNBC early Sunday morning, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) poured cold water on Republican attempts to lessen the severity of the Jan 6 insurrection by using the 2nd Amendment as a shield.

Expanding upon an op-ed he wrote for the New York Times, where he stated, "Some champions of this insurrectionist theory of the Second Amendment seem to glorify violence against public officials. Two weeks before the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection overran the U.S. Capitol, Representative Lauren Boebert declared that the Second Amendment 'has nothing to do with hunting, unless you’re talking about hunting tyrants, maybe,'" before adding, "Statements such as these were irresponsible enough before Jan. 6. Today, such talk courts disaster."

Calling this summer's Independence Day parade massacre in Highland Park, Illinois "predictable and preventable," the families of three people who were killed joined several people who were injured in filing a lawsuit against several parties, including gun-maker Smith & Wesson, on Wednesday.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Wednesday went on an emotional tirade yelling at journalists outside a Connecticut courthouse.

On the second day of his Connecticut trial for defaming victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting, Jones staged an afternoon press conference just steps from the courthouse.

Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) meeting with the family of a Uvalde school shooting victim wasn't enough to sway his stance on banning assault weapons.

Now, the senator is facing scrutiny for appearing heartless as photos of the meeting circulate on social media. On September 14, Kimberly Mata-Rubio, mother of slain Alexandria Aniyah “Lexi” Rubio, took to Twitter with details about her encounter with the Texas lawmaker.

The trial for Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooter Nikolas Cruz took a turn on Wednesday as the judge lambasted the defense attorneys. The uproar came as defense announced they were resting their case without warning, a move that the judge called a waste of time.

Broward Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer was visibly frustrated, telling the defense team that they were unprofessional for not telling the court ahead of time.
