White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre served up a stunning and rare rebuke Wednesday afternoon of several “extreme” MAGA Republican elected officials who are using violent rhetoric and false claims that align with former president Donald Trump’s agenda and actions.

“Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) has posted videos depicting him attacking the President and members of Congress,” Jean-Pierre responded to a reporter who asked if President Joe Biden criticizing “MAGA Republicans” and using the term “semi-fascism” to describe their ideology goes against his 2020 campaign promise to be a “uniter.”

U.S. GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker of Georgia is being mocked for touting what looks like a Cobb County photo ID naming the former NFL star as an "honorary agent" and "Special Deputy Sheriff," which he is using to attack Democratic U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock, who he is trying to unseat.

It's not going well for the Trump-endorsed Republican who responded to the mass shooting deaths of 19 students and two teachers at the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas in May by saying, "Cain killed Abel. You know, and that's a problem that we have."

Ann Coulter has a message for former President Donald Trump's supporters and allies. According to the conservative media pundit, it's time to move on from the former president because his political reign appears to be over.

According to Mediaite, Coulter's remarks came during a recent podcast segment. In an episode titled, "Trump's Done," Coulter shared her remarks via her SubStack account as she noted that she believes Trump's influence over the Republican Party is dwindling.

MSNBC producer for Rachel Maddow, Steve Benen, couldn't help but take the next step after former President Donald Trump announced that he wants a 2020 "new election immediately." Given the support Trump has in the Republican Party, Benen asked whether other GOP officials are ready to support this plan.

It has been 22 months since Trump lost the election, Benen wrote. Up until this point, Trump has maintained that he won the 2020 election. He even tried to change the results in several states and his campaign falsified documents attempting to swap out the electors. But in his latest rant, Trump admits he lost by demanding the 2020 election be redone.

Billionaire-backed Blake Masters, the Arizona Republican party's nominee for the U.S. Senate is undergoing a massive transformation little more than two months before Election Day and nearly two months after early voting in the Grand Canyon State has already begun.

Masters is a a venture capitalist, the former COO of billionaire Peter Thiel's investment firm, and former head of his foundation. He's been described as someone who "spews white supremacist conspiracies," including promoting the "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory, saying Democrats "hope to just change the demographics of our country” and “hope to import an entirely new electorate," while lamenting: "Then they call you a racist and a bigot.”

On Monday, POLITICO reported that the top elections investigator for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) told local officials they bear "no fault" for the 20 ex-convicts who were improperly signed up to vote — even though DeSantis has publicly tried to pass the blame onto them.

"Pete Antonacci, who runs DeSantis’ elections investigation office, sent a letter on Aug. 18 to the state’s elections supervisors saying they did nothing wrong when individuals convicted of murder and sex offenses voted in the 2020 election cycle. Those defendants, who were ineligible to vote, were part of a press conference DeSantis used to highlight voter fraud," reported Matt Dixon. "'Through no fault of your own, records demonstrate that the convicted felons listed in the attached Exhibit A were registered to vote and voted in your county during the 2020 general election,' Antonacci wrote in the letter. Antonacci sent the letters to local supervisors, asking them to preserve voting records of the defendants as part of his office’s ongoing investigation."

Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson appeared on MSNBC's "Deadline White House" with Nicolle Wallace Monday to talk about the group's latest ad that highlights the ways in which the Republican Party was once opposed to so-called "big government" and the "nanny state" legislating the personal behaviors of Americans.

Wallace, who served in George W. Bush's White House, has abandoned the GOP since Trump took over the GOP. Wilson similarly did the same, forming the super PAC with a group of so-called "Never Trumpers," who continue to support moderate candidates.

On Monday, writing for The Atlantic, former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum outlined the dire situation the Republican Party finds itself in — and how leaders and donors are beginning to realize all the money they have invested in former President Donald Trump is only handing them losses.

"Five months ago, their party looked likely to take both the U.S. House and the Senate in 2022. Republicans appeared ready to consolidate their leads over Democrats in the numbers of governorships and state legislatures held. Best of all, they seemed to have quietly sidelined former President Donald Trump," wrote Frum. "Now their prospects look clouded."

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Axios founder Mike Allen claimed cracks are beginning to show among Donald Trump's defenders in Congress as the steady drip of information about his handling of top secrets has been revealed.

Speaking with hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, Allen claimed Republicans are becoming more and more hesitant about rushing to the former president's defense.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough pummeled Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for threatening "riots in the streets" if Donald Trump is indicted for taking classified documents to Mar-A-Lago and refusing to return them to the National Archives.

The FBI executed a lawful search warrant on the twice-impeached former president's private resort and seized boxes full of top-secret materials, and the "Morning Joe" host ripped Graham and other Republican lawmakers who went on TV over the weekend to defend Trump's actions -- and suggest that he be held above the law or else.

According to a report from Rolling Stone, former president Donald Trump has been alternately raging at and ridiculing Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as the Florida governor has been rising as his heir apparent.

The former president, as well as his family, have been sniping at the Florida Republican by claiming he has been "stealing" from Trump, by which they mean he has been appropriating Trump's mannerisms when giving speeches as he sets in motion his bid for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

In a recent appearance on Fox News, Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) weighed in on President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan and, in doing so, provided a quote that has caused ripples of discourse throughout the weekend.

"How the heck can Joe Biden call America-first conservatives a threat to Democracy with a straight face and a dry diaper? He's the one who has allowed millions to invade our southern border," Boebert said to Fox. "He's the one who is robbing hard-working Americans to pay for Karen's daughter's degree in lesbian dance theory."
