Republicans aren't happy after their party chair reignited the black eye on the GOP, a CNN.com report revealed Monday.

At the end of last week, the Republican National Committee attacked the House Select Committee investigating Jan. 6, saying that they're going after everyday citizens like a "nice little old lady" who turned out to be one of the RNC committee people who was working on the fake elector effort. That has now been referred to the Justice Department for fraud and forgery.

Republicans are probably going to use the Canadian trucker protest to ignite rage for 2022: Charlie Pierce

Esquire's Charlie Pierce wrote on Monday that the United States has exported its crazy anti-vaxxers to Canada -- but they're not going facing the soft response that protesters have in the U.S.

‘Child abuse’: Greene breathlessly blasts masks for kids because adults aren’t wearing them at the Super Bowl

COVID-19 deaths are up eighteen percent but U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is calling for a nationwide moratorium on mask-wearing for children, even calling the practice to protect both the child and those they come in contact with, “child abuse.” She warns, “they’re going to be future voters and they are sick and tired of being forced to wear masks.”

“I’d like to talk about how children feel about mask,” an apparently out-of breath Rep. Greene (R-GA), said in a speech on the House floor Monday. “You see, while they’re watching television, seeing Super Bowl games where adults are filled, filling stadiums without mask and enjoying themselves while they see concerts happen.

RNC has ‘gone all-in on the insurrection’ while excusing ‘bigoted rantings’: Charlie Sykes

Conservative columnist Charlie Sykes published a hard-hitting column on Friday after the Republican National Committee's resolutions committee unanimously voted to censure Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) for participating in the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol.

"The timing of the resolution is notable — coming just days after Donald Trump dangled pardons for the Insurrectionists who tried to help him overturn the election, and just days after he threatened mass unrest if prosecutors try to hold him accountable. It comes the week we learned of Trump’s push to have the government seize voting machines, and got more details about his plan to use faked and forged electoral vote certificates to force Mike Pence to overturn the election," he wrote. "And it came as Trump continued to ratchet up his lies about his electoral defeat."
