MTG: Unseat All Republicans Who Back Gun Reform Bill

MTG: Unseat All Republicans Who Back Gun Reform Bill

For me the worst thing was the gaslighting by Marge Greene.   She claims that she and her all guns all time crew represent the people.    But the people disagree, all the polling shows the public wants gun regulations and controls.   But hey I guess the only members of the public that count anymore are the maga members.   Those are the parents that get a say in what is taught in schools, no other parents, maga are the only ones that get to vote now, maga thugs seem to make life hell for any other group in public, maga seems to be running the CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) and maga seems to be running most police departments.    So we are now being told, the only republican voters that count are maga voters.    Hugs

“These are Republican senators that Republican voters do not support any more. We’ve got to change our Republican Party and needs to happen right here. Because if we don’t start defending Americans’ freedoms and rights and putting America first, our Republican voters are not going to want to put us in charge.” – Marjorie Taylor Greene, after reading the names of the 14 GOP Senators who last night voted to advance the bipartisan gun reform package. Standing with MTG were Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Thomas Massie, and other extremist Freedom Caucus members.

Herschel Walker Says There Are 52 States

There are 50 states in the United States of America.

But in an interview Tuesday, Georgia GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker said there were 52.

Walker was going after Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate for governor, for recently saying, “I am tired of hearing about [Georgia] being the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live.”

Abrams cited the state’s problems with mental health treatment, maternal mortality, incarceration rates and wages. Republicans seized upon the remark and used it to criticize her, although Abrams said she stood by her belief that Republican Brian Kemp is “a failed governor, who doesn’t care about the people of Georgia.”

In an interview Tuesday with the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, Walker said Abrams should go live in another state ― saying she had 51 others from which to choose.

“If you don’t believe in the country, leave and go somewhere else,” he said. “If it’s the worst state, why are you here? Why don’t you leave ― go to another? There’s, what, 51 more other states that you can go to?”

“Herschel misspoke ― he obviously knows there are 50 states,” spokeswoman Mallory Blount told HuffPost.

Walker is a former NFL star whose campaign has been filled with controversies and misstatements.

He has faced domestic violence allegations, and recently, claims of being an absent father. Walker has talked frequently about his 22-year-old son Christian and railed against fatherless homes. But The Daily Beast reported that Walker actually has three other children he doesn’t talk about publicly. He has since acknowledged his four children, saying he “never denied any of my kids.”

Walker has also said he’s skeptical of evolution, pointing to the fact that apes and humans coexist.

“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? … If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it,” Walker said in March.

After the massacre in Uvalde, Texas, Walker called for “a department that can look at young men that’s looking at women that’s looking at social media,” as a solution to curb school shootings, but it was not clear what that was or how it would solve the problem.

In 2008, then-candidate Barack Obama also misspoke on the number of states.

“It is wonderful to be back in Oregon,” Obama said. “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”

He later said it was “a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh ―” before an aide cut him off.

Some on took this comment as further proof of the birther conspiracy, claiming that he was actually referencing Muslim countries.

Herschel Walker Compares Himself To Jesus, Who Also Has Multiple Personalities: “Father, Son, And Holy Spirit”

“I tell them all the time. I say, dude, I tell them. Do our lord Jesus Christ have a mental illness because he said he’s the father, the son and the Holy Spirit?

“To me, those are three different personalities. So we’re not so much different than he is.

“But what we gotta do is quit putting others down and try building them up.” – Trump-backed Republican US Senate nominee Herschel Walker, in a newly unearthed video.

In his 2008 memoir, Breaking Free, Walker disclosed that he suffers from multiple personality disorder.

Ron Johnson Pushed Pence To Accept Fake Electors

Ron Johnson Pushed Pence To Accept Fake Electors

The Washington Post reports:

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) offered to hand-deliver certificates of fake electors to Vice President Mike Pence as part of the Trump campaign’s broader effort to overturn the 2020 election result, according to evidence released by the House Jan. 6 committee.

In texts obtained by the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, a Johnson staffer approached a top aide to the vice president requesting that Pence and Johnson meet for Johnson to deliver fake electors’ votes for Michigan and Wisconsin, which the Trump campaign had also instructed the fake electors send to the National Archives.

“Do not send that to him,” the Pence aide told the Johnson staffer, rejecting the senator’s request that Pence participate in the ruse to contest the election.

Trump called RNC chairwoman about fake elector plan, she told Jan. 6 committee

The head of the Republican Party testified to the House select committee that former President Donald Trump called her as part of an effort to use fake electors to support him. 

The new detail links Trump directly to efforts to put forward rogue, alternate slates of electors in states that he lost, even though his top lawyers in the White House and the campaign knew the approach wasn’t legally sound.

“Essentially, he turned the call over to Mr. [John] Eastman, who then proceeded to talk about the importance of the RNC helping the campaign gather these contingent electors,” Ronna Romney McDaniel, the Republican National Committee chairwoman, said in her taped deposition. “My understanding is the campaign did take the lead, and we just were helping them in that role.” 

She noted that the electors were being pulled together in case Trump legal challenges succeeded in blocking Biden wins.

The campaign wasn’t entirely on board, however. 

Some of the top officials in the Trump campaign and White House believed the fake electors plan wasn’t legal, and left the push to lawyers like Eastman and Rudy Giuliani who had swarmed after the election, the committee said.

In an interview with the committee, Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to the White House chief of staff, confirmed to the committee that lawyers with the White House counsel said the plot was not legally sound. She said former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani were involved in the meeting.

“Nevertheless,” Rep. Adam Schiff said, “the Trump campaign went forward with the scheme anyway.”

Two top campaign lawyers, Matt Morgan and Justin Clark, said in their taped depositions that they told Trump lawyers pushing the fake electors scheme they didn’t want to take part.

“You just get after it. I’m out,” Clark told the House, about a conversation he had with another lawyer who backed the fake electors plan, Kenneth Chesebro. “I don’t think this is appropriate. This isn’t the right thing to do.”

Morgan described directing another campaign official to tell Chesebro: “This is your task. You are responsible for the Electoral College issues moving forward. This was my way of taking that responsibility to zero.”

Before Tuesday, it wasn’t known that Clark had spoken to the House select committee. 

A source familiar with Clark’s testimony says he testified “a while back” and that Trump is likely not pleased his former lead campaign attorney is shown saying essentially his campaign didn’t have a case to back up Trump’s lies.

Clark still works with Trump. Last year he directed witnesses the House had subpoenaed to preserve executive privilege, and he represented Trump in his unsuccessful appeal to try to stop the release of White House documents from the National Archives.
