Marjorie Taylor Greene

In a blunt column for the Bulwark, longtime conservative writer Mona Charen dropped the hammer on Republicans for their tone-deaf response to the ugly assault inflicted on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and claimed that even moderate GOPer's failed miserably when addressing it.

While high-profile conservatives like Don Trump Jr., Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake have garnered the most attention for their jokes and comments about the savage hammer beating of the 82-year-old Pelosi, other Republicans have stepped in it with their "what about" approach to the attack.

President Joe Biden demanded that Republicans stop inciting violence by pushing Donald Trump's "big lie" about the 2020 election after Paul Pelosi was brutally beaten with a hammer by a conspiracy theorist.

After voting while vacationing in Delaware, Biden spoke with reporters about the attack that reportedly targeted Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).

The Southern evangelical "Hell Houses" put on during Halloween are not an effective mechanism of scaring people into believing in Christianity, according to the "chief exorcist" for the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.

"This October some churches and ministries in the United States are once again hosting Christian versions of haunted houses, and nonbelievers and believers alike are lining up for some rather existential spine-tingling for the first time since the pandemic," the Catholic News Agency reported. "Popular among evangelical Protestant churches in the South, these 'judgment houses' typically stage dramatic representations depicting what happens after people die, leaving visitors to ponder whether they themselves are headed for heaven or hell, and presumably, to act accordingly."

During a segment of Friday's "Real Time With Bill Maher," viewers are prepped for the upcoming midterm elections with a run-down of "24 things you don't know about Marjorie Taylor Greene."

"One of the people I love to listen to on Twitter is Marjorie Taylor Greene," says Maher prior to the run-down of his humorous list. ". . .She's really having a moment. Trump is considering her as a running-mate in 2024, and she's also gotten a lot of incredible press. And when the Republicans take over Congress in 11 days, she's gonna be very important there. So we thought today would be a good time to do 24 things you don't know about Marjorie Taylor Greene."

According to a report from the Washington Post, it should come as no surprise that a man stormed the San Francisco home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Friday where he violently assaulted her elderly husband while looking for her.

As the report notes, Republican lawmakers and conservatives have been painting a target on Pelosi's back for years -- including suggesting the 82-year-old lawmaker be assassinated.

On Friday's edition of MSNBC's "The ReidOut," Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) reacted to the news of Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, being violently attacked by a home invader looking for the Speaker of the House.

While the motives of the attacker haven't yet been confirmed by police, reports indicate that the alleged assailant, 42-year-old David DePape, prolifically spread right-wing conspiracy theories on social media. According to Swalwell, who himself has been subject to multiple death threats — including from a man who pleaded guilty this week — this can be attributed to the political atmosphere Republicans are encouraging.

There are already fissures in the House GOP Caucus ahead of an expected win of the House of Representatives by Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections, according to The New York Times.

"Since the day President Biden took office, Republicans have publicly called for his impeachment, introducing more than a dozen resolutions accusing him and his top officials of high crimes and misdemeanors and running campaign ads and fund-raising appeals vowing to remove the president from office at the first opportunity," the newspaper reported. "But in the homestretch of a campaign that has brought the party tantalizingly close to winning control of Congress, top Republicans are seeking to downplay the chances that they will impeach Mr. Biden, distancing themselves from a polarizing issue that could alienate voters just as polls show the midterm elections breaking their way."

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lamented the crackdown by social media companies on propaganda and right-wing disinformation during a recent discussion with her supporters about what kids are seeing online.

One woman in attendance exclaimed that “TikTok" is corrupting children and that "it needs to be gone.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is not impressed with the gravitas of the man whom polls show will likely be taking her job next year.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Pelosi compared McCarthy to past Republican leaders she's worked with and said in no uncertain terms that he doesn't measure up.

Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" bashed right-wing attorney John Eastman's latest scheme to overturn Republican election losses.

Newly revealed audio recordings show the former Donald Trump attorney urging conservatives to file complaints that could be used to make court challenges to November's election results, and the panelists were shocked by Eastman's actions while his actions around the 2020 election are under investigation by the Department of Justice.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) in a new book boasts that he didn't at all take the first impeachment trial against former President Donald Trump seriously and that he didn't bother reading the evidence that had been gathered against him.

The Guardian reports that Cotton's new book, titled "Only the Strong: Reversing the Left’s Plot to Sabotage American Power," features the Arkansas senator telling stories about how he and his fellow senators didn't take House Democrats' impeachment case against Trump at all seriously.

Democrats are already girding for a post-election battle in Pennsylvania, where the national party is telling candidates to find lawyers to fight looming legal challenges to the results.

Donald Trump has been telling allies to use “scorched-earth legal tactics” to challenge any losses -- especially in the Keystone State -- and Republican lawmakers and conservative media hosts are already laying the groundwork for fraud claims, reported The Daily Beast.

With so many radical Republicans running for office across the country, there's been relatively little coverage of Tudor Dixon, the Trump-endorsed Republican nominee for governor in Michigan, who's running against incumbent Democrat Gretchen Whitmer. But Dixon, whose name admittedly should belong to the socialite villainess of a Harlequin romance novel, is definitely one to watch in the "how far-right can Republicans get" sweepstakes that is midterm-watching. She has described working women as having "lonely lives," declared a 14-year-old incest victim to be a "perfect" candidate for forced childbirth, and, unsurprisingly, backs Trump's Big Lie. During her debate with Whitmer on Tuesday night, Dixon accused Michigan schools of distributing "pornographic" books.

Naturally, Dixon's idea of what constitutes pornography was lurid but entirely vague, such as "books describing how to have sex." Which could mean anything from actual sex education books to books that simply have sex scenes, a category that encompasses classics like "Romeo and Juliet" and also the Bible. (Neither of which are pornography, a commodity readily available on the internet should Dixon desire to grasp the distinctions.) Whitmer responded by noting that there are many opportunities for parents to be involved in children's education, but also that there's a "duty to make sure that all children feel accepted and safe and can learn and play when they are in school."
