'The disease within the Republican Party': Analyst finds a 2012 report on GOP extremism that looks prophetic

When President Barack Obama was reelected in 2012 and defeated Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, pundits offered a variety of explanations for Romney's loss. Some pundits on the far right insisted that Romney wasn't conservative enough — that he lost because he was a RINO: Republican In Name Only. Others, however, argued that Romney's campaign was doomed by wingnuts in his party. Two of the people who warned that extremists were taking over the Republican Party were Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein, and according to CNN's John Harwood, their warnings about the GOP of 2012 are still relevant in 2021.

On April 27, 2012 — when the presidential election was still over half a year away — the Washington Post published an op-ed by Mann and Ornstein headlined, "Let's Just Say It: The Republicans Are the Problem." Mann was a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, while Ornstein was a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

Anderson Cooper shreds 'taxpayer-funded troll' Marjorie Taylor Greene

On CNN Monday, anchor Anderson Cooper and Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) discussed the inflammatory Holocaust remarks by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

"Her remarks come as the country is experiencing a wave of anti-Semitic attacks in Manhattan, the victim spoke about it this morning," said Cooper, playing a clip of a man recounting a "crowd" kicking, punching, and pepper-spraying him. "That happened on the streets of New York City last week. So why are these Republicans staying silent? If the answer is they don't want to offend bigots and haters, their silence is a deafening roar. Steve Cohen, how do you push back on these disgusting comments without giving oxygen to this person who is, at this point, essentially a taxpayer-funded troll?"

Here's why GOP leaders fear condemning QAnon Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene

On Monday's edition of CNN's "The Lead," Amanda Carpenter, a Trump-skeptic Republican and a former staffer for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), suggested that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) hasn't drawn condemnation from Republican leadership for her comparison of mask mandates to Nazi death camps is that Republican leaders consider her a better authority on what Republican base voters want than they do themselves.

"Just to be clear here, Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, and Elise Stefanik, the three top House Republicans — last time I checked, none had said anything about this," said anchor Jake Tapper.

MSNBC panel unleashes on 'moral bankruptcy' of Marjorie Greene and 'snowflakes' in the Republican Party

MSNBC commentator John Heilemann unleashed on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for her anti-Semitic attacks and downplaying of the Holocaust. He followed by going full bore against the Republican Party for continuing to be "snowflakes" over wearing masks.

"I mean, it was so bad for the last four years that it's kind of like, can you measure something either less than zero or more than infinite?" Heilemann philosophized. "It's like there's some kind of quantum physics problem with that. But they are, you know, anybody who had any thought things would get anyway, even a minuscule, you know, micrometer better once Trump left has been -- should be recognizing that it's not gotten better and I think it has in some ways gotten worse."

Matt Gaetz gives support to get rid of Kevin McCarthy as GOP leader

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) decided that she wants to be the Speaker of the House, despite her party not being in the majority. Still, Republicans are already measuring the drapes assuming they'll win in 2022, said the Colorado Times Reporter.

But Boebert's enthusiasm earned unexpected support from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who is linked to a child sex-trafficking case. Gaetz spent the weekend with fellow extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who is fielding new accusations of anti-Semitism.

'It's like watching a car crash': Viewers dunk on Meghan McCain for lashing out over Marjorie Greene's latest anti-Semitism

"Viewers" watched as "The View's" co-host Meghan McCain lashed out at her colleagues for focusing too much on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) anti-Semitism over a Los Angeles hate crime.

Claiming that Greene has no real power, McCain faced off against her colleagues who demanded that Republicans denounce the Congresswoman's downplaying of the Holocaust. McCain protested saying that Democrats didn't care when Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) tweeted anti-Jewish stereotypes. In fact, the Democrats rebuked her heavily and connected her with Rabbis and other Jewish leaders who could help educate her. Democrats also held a vote condemning anti-Semitism in wake of the remarks. Thus far Republicans have been mum on Greene.
