Marjorie Taylor Greene

QAnon cultist, conspiracy theorist, antisemitic anti-masker, coronavirus-denying white nationalist, white supremacist, insurrection truther, and Trump acolyte Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Republican Congresswoman from Georgia, may be testing the waters for a 2024 presidential run.

Greene will attend the Iowa State Fair on August 19, according to Bloomberg's Jennifer Jacobs, who reports that the "gathering is a traditional platform for White House aspirants."

Last week was a difficult week for the Trump-led Republican Party and the Lincoln Project captured it in one damning video that perfectly illustrates the non-stop absurdity that has taken over the Republican Party.

They went after Fox News hosts eager to destroy Capitol Police officers who testified about their injuries and experience after the Jan. 6 attack. They showed the sad and pathetic way that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was shouted down by a whistle.

QAnon-believing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) may be gearing up for a run at the White House.

Bloomberg News' Jennifer Jacobs reports that Greene is scheduled to appear later this month at the Iowa State Fair, which she notes is "a traditional venue for politicians contemplating presidential campaigns."

Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, who's under investigation by the FBI for alleged sex-trafficking of a minor, weighed in Tuesday afternoon on newly revealed sexual harassment allegations against New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

"If he were a Republican, he wouldn't even need one named accuser for the media to smear him," Gaetz wrote, in an apparent reference to his own case.

Although QAnon isn't a religious movement per se, the far-right conspiracy theorists have enjoyed some of their strongest support from White evangelicals — who share their adoration of former President Donald Trump. And polling research from The Economist and YouGov shows that among those who are religious, White evangelicals are the most QAnon-friendly.

The Economist explains, "One prominent theory is that Americans who have no religious affiliation find themselves attracted to other causes, such as the Q craze. Another, posited by Ben Sasse, a Republican senator from Nebraska, is that modern strains of Christian evangelicalism which 'run on dopey apocalypse-mongering' do not entirely satisfy all worshippers — and so, they go on to find community and salvation in other groups, such as QAnon. Using The Economist's polling with YouGov, an online pollster, we can test both of these theories."

One of Donald Trump's former chiefs of staff is teaming up with one of the most controversial members on Congress to raise money for a fund to elect far-right conservatives.

The fundraiser for the House Freedom Fund will be held at Spring Creek Ranch in Wyoming and hosted by Peter and Stephanie Lamelas, the Jackson Hole News & Guide reports.

CNN on Monday exposed RNC Committeeman Peter Feaman of Florida for spreading "anti-vaccine rhetoric and misinformation, comparing the Biden administration's vaccine efforts to Nazi-era 'brown shirts,' and twice calling the vaccines 'the mark of the beast,' comparable to a 'false god.'"

Feaman was an elector for Trump in the 2016 and 2020 electoral college.

Despite swift condemnation from fellow Republicans — including two sitting U.S. senators and his own vice chair — Oklahoma GOP chair John Bennett is doubling down on a Facebook post from Friday comparing COVID vaccination requirements to the Holocaust, the Washington Post reports.

"Those who don't KNOW history, are DOOMED to repeat it," read Bennett's post on the party's Facebook page, below an image of the Star of David with "Unvaccinated" written across the top.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Alex Witt, former Rep. Dave Jolly (R-FL) said the spread of the new variant of COVID-19, and the accompanying deaths, can be laid at the feet of the Republican Party which has not taken the pandemic seriously.

With his home state of Florida being ravaged by the new strain that has ICUs being flooded with critically ill and younger patients who were never vaccinated, Jolly was quick to blame his former party.

Republicans were criticized for a lack of maturity in responding to the coronavirus in a hard-hitting editorial by the Winston-Salem Journal in North Carolina.

"When he wrote his book The Vanishing American Adult, first published in 2017, Republican Sen. Ben Sasse surely didn't have his colleagues in the U.S. House in mind. But he well could have been describing the participants in a scene we witnessed last week," the newspaper wrote.

Backlash against unvaccinated Republicans could cost the GOP control of the midterms, according to a new Washington Monthly analysis by David Atkins.

Writing about the political calculations of Republicans during the pandemic, Atkins wrote there's a "darker political calculation at work. Since Biden's election, the Republican strategy has been simple: sabotage the Biden administration's goal of vaccine-based herd immunity, thereby damaging the economy and forcing more unpopular measures to control the spread of the Delta variant. Either pandemic-exhausted voters will rebel at the prospect of a new round of controls and mask mandates, or the virus will overload ICUs and kill a million Americans by the midterms–which Republicans will then blame on Biden and Democrats (as Trump just did yesterday.)"

Rep. Matt Gaetz kicked off his "Florida Man Freedom Tour" today in an apparent quest to see how low a human being can descend.

Turns out it's pretty low.

An attempt by three Republican lawmakers to visit jailed Jan. 6 rioters has backfired for at least one defendant.

Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) were turned away Thursday from the D.C. Department of Corrections, and the following day a federal judge cited the attempted visit as a "concern" while keeping in place some court restrictions in one case, reported NBC's Scott MacFarlane.
