Far-right militias are turning to a troubling new recruitment strategy as they struggle after the Capitol riot: report

'Glorifying traitors': Trump hammered for turning an ‘avatar of white supremacy’ into a right-wing martyr

President Donald Trump's attempted martyrization of deceased Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt comes from the same white-supremacist playbook that brought us Confederate monuments, the Boston Globe's Renee Graham argues in a scathing new column titled, "Right-wing America's obsession with glorifying traitors."

Graham blasts Trump and others including Republican U.S. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar for attempting to recast Babbitt as a freedom fighter — even comparing her to George Floyd — when in fact she was shot while trying to overthrow the government in defense of Trump's "Big Lie" about election fraud.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is pushing back against his Republican colleagues' suggestion that the Biden's administration's door-to-door COVID vaccination initiative is nothing more than a "socialist" campaign for public health.
