Watch Fox News Hack Smear Doctors, Teachers, and Soldiers in Less than 30 Seconds

It must be be difficult keeping up with the demands of an audience that hungers for ever more grotesque misrepresentations of reality. But never underestimate the ability of Fox News to more than satisfy the cravings of the dystopia-loving Trump cultists who make up the bulk of their viewers.

Fox News, Tucker Carlson

Topping the charts at Fox News is their Senior White Nationalist, Tucker Carlson. He has supplanted Trump’s BFF (Bootlicking Fanboy Forever), Sean Hannity, as the network’s biggest draw. Which only proves that the more you embrace racism, and disseminate COVID conspiracy theories, and support violent, anti-American insurrectionists, the better your prospects for success on Fox News.

On Monday Carlson presented a special Memorial Day edition of his Hatefest Hour. And he managed to cram a surprising quantity of kook sauce into his recipe for rancid right-wing radicalism. He babbled a plaintive lament for a past wherein his white, European forefathers were still firmly in charge:

“So much has changed in the United States in the last year that it’s hard to keep track of it all. Our public health experts have been exposed as frauds, as incompetent and dishonest. Our schools are now openly teaching racism to our children. Our military at times does not seem interested in protecting the country. These are big changes. They have real ramifications. Most newspapers don’t want to cover these stories, the real stories. They occupy themselves with frivolities. But we do want to cover them. We think it’s our duty.”

Literally none of that rant is true. But you have to give Carlson credit for maligning doctors, teachers, and soldiers in one brief excretion of unadulterated bullpucky. Public health experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci are among the most respected people in the country. He’s polling at 60% favorable, along with Biden at 58%. Meanwhile, Trump is wallowing at his usual and dismal 37%.

Carlson doesn’t offer any proof for his claim that schools are “openly teaching racism.” He must be thinking about himself, because he spends more time on teaching his viewers to be racist than on any other subject. And he has been urging his audience to take their children out of schools, presumably to make sure they remain stupid enough to watch his show and the rest of the Fox lineup.

However, the most offensive part of Carlson’s tirade is his charge that “our military at times does not seem interested in protecting the country.” He has the gall to insult the women and men, who are putting their lives on the line to protect the nation, on Memorial Day. And once again, he doesn’t bother to support that heinous comment with anything resembling a fact. However, he has advocated stockpiling AR-15s to use against our soldiers. Just like Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-QAnon) and Trump’s former National Security Advisor, Mike Flynn, Carlson views the American government as the enemy.

These are the sort of stories that Carlson considers it his “duty” to cover. Not frivolities like whether President Biden wore a face mask, or how Vice-President Harris shakes hands, or a gay Lego set. Those were all “non-frivolous” stories covered by Fox News. And let’s not forget Carlson’s own coverage of the allegedly sham marriage of Joe and Jill Biden. With stories like these, Tucker and Fox News are clearly leading the way on journalism that’s meaningful and pertinent to the American people.

Fox News ‘Liberal’ Asks GOP Crybabies, ‘What Are the Republicans So Afraid of?’

Posted by on May 31, 2021 at 2:13 pm. 1 Comments :

There was some speculation that Fox News might change after Donald Trump was evicted by America’s voters from the White House. That speculation proved to be true. Fox News has changed. For the worse. It has veered farther to the right – and Trumpian extremism – than ever. Fox’s CEO, Lachlan Murdoch, even said publicly that it is the network’s “job” to oppose Biden.

Fox News, Juan Williams

In the past few months Fox News elevated drooling Trump sycophants like Dan Bongino and Greg Gutfeld. Tucker Carlson’s exposure was increased with new streaming programs. They added Lara Trump as a contributor and Kayleigh McEnany, Trump’s former press secretary, as a co-host on Outnumbered.

Meanwhile, Fox News has ideologically cleansed panel shows like Outnumbered of all leftish voices. They have parted ways with the few pundits who would occasionally challenge Trump and his suck-ups on the network. Politics editor, Chris Stirewalt, was fired. The former Democratic Party chair, Donna Brazile, is gone. Fox and Friends co-host Jedidiah Bila was sacked. And Juan Williams is now an ex-co-host of The Five.

Speaking of Williams, he just published an essay on The Hill posing the question “What are the Republicans so afraid of?” It’s interesting that Williams, who isn’t a particularly aggressive liberal, had to turn to a non-Fox website to express his views. Perhaps it’s because the essay began by noting the division that Trump – and Fox News – have been so instrumental in fomenting:

“Sixty-four percent of voters now see political divisions as a major threat to the ‘stability’ of the nation, according to a Fox News poll released last week. It is the highest-ranked major threat to the nation in the poll.

“The depth of the division can also be seen in recent Ipsos/Reuters polling that shows most Republicans continue to believe former President Trump is the ‘true president,’ and 56 percent [of Republicans] believe the 2020 election was stolen from him.”

Williams observed that the recent Senate vote to create a commission to study the January 6th insurrection failed due to Republicans being too afraid to examine what led to the Capitol Hill riots. Their fear was that a truly independent investigation would reveal that they themselves were responsible to a significant extent. Williams also wrote that Republican fear is centered on the racist “white re[placement” conspiracy theory that has become a major part of Tucker Carlson’s program.

Another key part of Williams’ essay was that Trump’s “Big Lie” that the election was stolen from him was “fed daily with conspiracy talk and misinformation by social media, talk radio and cable opinion shows.” Of course, the “cable opinion shows” he meant, without naming, were those by Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends, and pretty much the rest of their schedule.

It’s the “Big Lie” that has been the primary motivation for the violence by Trump’s insurrectionist brigades. It has even led to a call for a military coup by Trump’s former National Security Advisor, Mike Flynn. These traitors are openly advocating a violent overthrow of the United States government to install Trump as a dictator. And while Williams is right to ask what Republicans are afraid of, he might also want to ask: Why aren’t Democrats – and all patriotic Americans – more afraid?

‘Disgusting’ Hypocrisy: Fox News “Disrespects” Kamala Harris’ Memorial Day Message

Posted by on May 30, 2021 at 9:49 am. 3 Comments :

Whenever Fox News launches an attack on someone, it’s a safe bet that whatever has offended them is something they are guilty of many times over. Their point is never to make a genuine commentary on principle. It’s simply an opportunity to malign those who don’t share Fox’s biases.

Fox News, Kamala Harris

On this Memorial Day weekend, Fox News demonstrated their brazen hypocrisy by featuring a story at the top of their website criticizing Vice-President Kamala Harris for wishing the American people well on the holiday. Their article was headlined, “VP Harris under fire for blatant disregard of service members this Memorial Day with all-about-me tweet.” And to drive the point home Fox tweeted…

OMG! Fox News is livid that anyone might spend the holiday enjoying time with their friends and family. As if that in some way precludes them from appreciating the sacrifices of America’s fallen. And where did Fox get the notion that wishing others well was “all-about-me”? This is another futile attempt by Fox News to target Harris because they can’t shake Joe Biden’s broad-based popularity.

Consequently, Fox has lashed out at Harris with petty and fake contrives like the time she supposedly caused an international incident, or the time she allegedly profited off of selling her books to migrant children. Neither of those contained a shred of truth (something Fox couldn’t care less about). For the record, the Harris tweet that Fox falsely asserts “ignited outrage” was this wholesome hope for an enjoyable weekend…

That’s what Fox News labeled as “disgusting”? To Fox News it’s outrageous to want people to enjoy a weekend that is generally celebrated with barbeques and automobile sales. But what makes Fox’s feigned outrage so ludicrous is that their own tweet on the same day just extolled the virtues of intoxication…

That’s right. It’s “disgusting” for Harris to want people to enjoy themselves, but it’s perfectly acceptable to want them to get drunk. That’s Fox News for ya. And here’s wishing everyone a somber, sober Memorial Day. And for God’s sake, don’t enjoy yourself.

The Party of Trump and QAnon: Republicans Worship an Impotent Loser

Posted by on May 27, 2021 at 2:15 pm. 9 Comments :

On January 6, 2021, the United States was attacked by the insurrectionist brigades of the former reality TV game show host who was decisively defeated for reelection as president six months ago. But the insurrection led by Donald Trump did not end on that day. In defiance of reality, Trump is continuing to wage war against American democracy. He has still never conceded defeat. To the contrary, he stubbornly insists – without a shred of evidence – that the election was stolen from him and that he is the “legitimate” president/dictator.

Donald Trump, QAnon, Dictator

The depth of Trump’s delusion has created a black hole at the center of the American galaxy. The support he commands from his cowardly Republican confederates in Congress is near total. And the GOP voter base is blindly adhering to the fables told by the Trumpists.

Trump is savoring the cult-like adulation of his devotees. He giddily posted the results of an Ipsos/Reuters poll on his mostly ignored blog that showed 53% of Republicans “believe Donald Trump is the true President.” A new poll by Quinnipiac augments that data with a survey that found that 66% of Republicans would like to see Trump run for president in 2024. Never mind that the same poll poll reported that “Overall, two-thirds of Americans (66 – 30 percent) say they do not want to see him run.” And set aside that the poll also had Trump floundering at 37% favorable.

Even more relevant is the mathematical reality of these poll results. Since the Republican Party currently represents about 29% of the electorate, 53% of that means that Trump’s support among the population at large is a measly 15% at best. That’s hardly enough to win a national election. And considering that Trump already lost the popular vote twice, his prospects for the future appear dim.

However, Trump’s dismal political future doesn’t mean that he can’t continue to have a destructive impact on society. His disciples are a a determined and hostile lot. A survey by PRRI asked Republicans whether they agree with the QAnon doctrine that “the government, media, and financial worlds in the U.S. are controlled by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles who run a global child sex trafficking operation.” Nearly a quarter of them (23%) said that they do. And 28% said that they also believe that “true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.”

This does not bode well for the stability of American democracy. Despite these treasonous cretins being a distinct minority, they are also fanatical and armed. And their obedience to QAnon and Trump is being intensified by right-wing media. The Quinnipiac poll found that 40% of Newsmax and One America News Network (OANN) viewers, and 18% Fox News viewers, are among the QAnon believers.

Just imagine what will happen if Trump decides to run again in 2024. With his prospects of victory almost nil, the stage will be set for a reprise of the January 6th Capitol riots. Trump would surely repeat his baseless claims that that election was stolen from him too. How far would his faithful go to crush the democratic will of the people then?

The only answer to that question is that we must never find out. Trump and his comrades must be held accountable for their crimes and punished accordingly long before the 2024 election cycle begins. If the Justice Department and the state attorneys general do their jobs, we’ll be able to avoid another wingnut uprising. If not, we’ll be in big trouble.

HOLY SHHH! Fox News Links Mass Shootings to the COVID Vaccine

Posted by on May 26, 2021 at 12:52 pm. 6 Comments :

Wednesday morning the nation awakened to yet another mass shooting. We can expect the usual NRA apologists to begin sending out their “thoughts and prayers,” while doing their best to obstruct any constructive reforms. But we could not possibly have expected that Fox News would feature an “expert” law enforcement analyst speculating that mass shootings were somehow linked to the COVID-19 vaccine. Could we?

Fox News, Guns Logo

Never mind that Fox News and the Republican Party have laid out an agenda that calls for less voting and more guns. And set aside that their proposed solution to the epidemic of mass shootings is to initiate “Idiot Control.”

In the course of breaking news coverage of yet another active shooter incident, this one in San Jose, California, Fox’s Harris Faulkner invited retired NYPD detective Pat Brosnan to provide his analysis fo the situation. Brosnan began with a bizarre commentary on the “Summer of Love of 2020” (presumably a facetious reference to the Black Lives Matter demonstrations), but then launched into this bit of brain-damaged commentary (video below):

“Crimes are no longer illegal. There’s no longer an enforcement of lots of laws. And there’s an empowerment of these active shooters.”

Say what? Needless to say, those deranged observations were not supported by any coherent discussion of how, precisely, crimes ceased to be illegal or active shooters have been “empowered.” But Brosnan was just getting started:

“Once COVID starts to lift, these cowardly shooters will come out exactly in tandem with the number of vaccinations. You can be sure they probably got vaccinated. They were just scared to come out. And they’re coming back, and you can see the numbers don’t lie. The shootings are up dramatically. Skyrocketing, actually, on active shootings throughout the United States as we’ve come through this pandemic. It’s really terrifying stuff.”

Brosnan was speaking out of a bodily orifice that is significantly below his mouth. His speculation about shooters having been vaccinated is pure fantasy and utterly insane. There’s a vague insinuation in there that the vaccine is turning otherwise ordinary people into mass murderers. The reality, of course, is that it’s the unvaccinated who are more likely to cause deaths by furthering the transmission of the coronavirus and its variants.

What’s more, there is no evidence whatsoever of mass shootings in the United States occurring “in tandem with vaccinations.” If anything, it was the administration of Donald Trump that produced a spike in gun violence. And Brosnan wants you believe that shooters were too “scared to come out,” but not too scared to grab a gun and shoot people with the certain knowledge that the police will show up and shoot back. If there was a decline in mass shootings in the past year, it wasn’t because the shooters were too scared to come out. It was because their potential victims were.

This is another example of Fox News trying desperately to muddle the discourse on an issue that their right-wing, ammosexual, GOP patrons are too scared to face honestly. They have no rational arguments to support their gun worship, or to deal with the fact that the vast majority of the American people support the reforms proposed by Democrats. So they fling rhetorical feces in an effort to numb the minds of their dimwitted viewers. Which really shouldn’t take much effort at all. And as always, now will not be the right time to talk about reform.

UPDATE: The Los Angeles times is now reporting that the gunman “set his own house on fire before he drove to a Valley Transportation Authority union meeting and began shooting.” Also, “Sources said the suspect is believed to have killed himself after the mass shooting.” So he really fits the profile of someone who was concerned about getting vaccinated to keep from catching a deadly virus, huh?

Hannity’s Infantile Anti-Biden Tweet Draws a Scorching Backlash Against Trump

Posted by on May 25, 2021 at 1:08 pm. 1 Comments :

No one has ever accused Sean Hannity of being an intellectual giant. And for good reason. He is notoriously uninformed and illogical. His greatest asset as a television pundit is his ability to lie without shame and an inexhaustible supply of arrogance.

Donald Trump Sean Hannity

On Monday evening Hannity thought he was struck with a brilliant inspiration for a tweet to attack President Biden. It elaborated on a theme that Hannity has been trying to popularize for months, with no success whatsoever. Despite his repeated failures, Hannity’s contention that Biden is mentally deficient is contradicted every time Biden speaks publicly. And the American people (according to a Fox News poll!) have already concluded that it’s Donald Trump who is too mentally unsound to serve.

Undaunted, Hannity tweeted this pathetic bit of childishness…

Seriously? This is the level of political discourse provided by the host of a program that Fox News presents with pride every night in primetime? And ironically this comes from someone who has his own peculiar bedtime rituals. Hannity was known to have nighty-night calls with Trump every night after his show.

In all fairness, it isn’t actually any worse than the rest of Fox’s lineup (i.e. Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and the “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends). But the one redeeming factor is that this sort of idiocy is so easy to rebut. And Twitter was ready and willing to take on that duty:

Fox News Freaks Out Over New Legos that ‘Could Have Been Designed By David Duke’

Posted by on May 24, 2021 at 5:05 pm. 1 Comments :

Here we go again. Fox News is so desperate for tales of atrocities caused by the “soshalest libruls” that they have to invent them themselves. And to keep their dimwitted viewers hooked on the narcotic of irrational, self-serving hatred, they need to make each successive “scandal” more preposterous than those that came before.

Fox News, Legos

As a follow up to ludicrous stories about the “canceling” of Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head, and the allegations that Vice-President Kamala Harris was peddling her books to migrant children, and President Biden’s sham marriage was exposed when he gave the First Lady a dandelion, we now have the horror of racist Legos. Fox’s Will Cain broke the story Friday with this chilling report that featured a chyron reading “The Left’s Push for Racial Division” …

“Look at Lego. This is Lego’s newest line of diversity toys. This separation, the color coding, living up to every stereotype from hair style to skin color. It looks like it could have been designed by David Duke. This is the opposite of Martin Luther King’s dream for America.

OMG! Legos have burrowed so deeply into American culture from their Scandinavian haven of liberalism that they are now able to launch their long-planned plot to destroy America from within. And they are attacking us at our weakest link – our children – attempting to turn them into Klan Kids with their new set of toys bearing the deceptive theme of “Everyone Is Awesome.”

There’s just one problem with Cain’s breakthrough reporting. It’s total bullpucky! The new Legos set was actually designed to celebrate the diversity of the LGBTQ community. As reported by real journalists at the Guardian…

“The colours of the stripes were chosen to reflect the original rainbow flag, along with pale blue, white and pink representing the trans community, and black and brown to acknowledge the diversity of skin tones and backgrounds within the LGBTQIA+ community.”

Other than that, Fox News was right on the mark, and well on their way to saving the world from … well, whatever nightmare is currently drilling holes into their diseased brains. And you know for sure that if Fox News has gotten so worked up about these wayward Legos, they’re gonna have uncontrollable fits when they hear about what Kellogg’s Cereal is up to…

Jen Psaki to Fox News: ‘I Think You’re Misunderstanding How This Process Actually Works’

Posted by on May 24, 2021 at 12:14 pm. NO Comments :

Monday morning much of the press was reporting that the number of new cases of the coronavirus in the United States has dropped to levels not seen since the summer of 2020. Hospitalizations and deaths have similarly declined. And the Biden administration’s management of vaccination efforts has led to 50% of adults in half the country being fully vaccinated.

Fox News, Peter Doocy

However, as most of the media continues to report the positive aspects of the COVID pandemic trends, there is some downside focus in certain areas. Not surprisingly, the half of the country that has not reached that 50% milestone are mostly Southern and/or Republican states. And the press that is downplaying this news, or not reporting it at all, is, of course, Fox News. At Fox they have more pressing matters to attend to. Like the fake international incident caused by Vice-President Kamala Harris.

It is the objective of Fox News to either ignore any of the success of the Biden administration or to invent failures. For instance, recent Fox News fakeries included a “scandal” over Biden wearing a face mask, and Sean Hannity posting a flagrantly deceptive video of Biden.

So while there is much to be grateful for as the nation gets closer to whatever it was we thought was normal before the pandemic, Fox News strives to increase the national anxiety level. That was evident in the daily White House press briefing on Monday as Fox’s Peter Doocy engaged in this exchange with press secretary Jen Psaki about the speculation over where the coronavirus originated (a “scandal” that Fox News is foremost in hyping):

Doocy: With 589,920 dead Americans, at what point does President Biden say, “We don’t want to wait for the WHO (World Health Organization). We don’t know what they’re doing. This needs to be an American led effort to get to the bottom of what happened.”
Psaki: Well, first of all, we need access to the underlying data and information in order to have that investigation.
Doocy: But he talks all the time about how he’s known President Xi for a long time. So why can’t he just call?
Psaki: I think you’re misunderstanding how this process actually works. An international investigation led by the World Health Organization is something that we’ve actually been pressing for for several months, in coordination with a range of partners around the world. We need that data. We need that information from the Chinese government. What we can’t do, and I would caution anyone doing, is leaping ahead of an actual international process. We don’t have enough data and information to jump to a conclusion at this point in time.

It’s nice to see that after a year of downplaying COVID-19 as a flu or a hoax, Fox News seems to be concerned about its victims. Needless to say though, Doocy did not grasp Psaki’s response, or didn’t want to. So he rephrased his question and asked it again. Psaki patiently tried to educate Doocy that the U.S. can’t unilaterally investigate something that happened in another country.

It’s sad that Doocy needs to be told that Biden can’t just ring up Xi on the phone and ask him “Wassup with that virus thing?” He also can’t send in CIA operatives to interrogate Chinese officials, or Navy Seals to steal file cabinets with secreted data. This has to be handled with diplomacy by a neutral agency that has authority granted by the international community.

The purpose of Doocy’s apparent inability to comprehend this is simply to leave an impression that Biden is isn’t doing all that he can do to get to truth about the virus’ origins. His assignment wasn’t to elicit information, but to pose questions that act as statements and to malign the President in the process.

However, Psaki correctly points out that Doocy just doesn’t understand how international investigations work. And she drives home the point that the administration’s goal with regard to the virus’ origins is “the desire to know how this started, where it started, and to prevent it from ever happening again.” So all Doocy accomplished was to make himself look like a dope with a partisan agenda. Which he has proven repeatedly is not much a of a stretch for him.

Fox News Embroils Kamala Harris in an Insane (and Fake) International Incident

Posted by on May 23, 2021 at 4:01 pm. 4 Comments :

Fox News is scraping the bottom of the barrel in search of anything they can spin into a scandal. They’ve been doing that for the past four months since Joe Biden was inaugurated as President. Their desperation led to cringeworthy “news” alerts involving Dr. Seuss, Mr. Potato Head, and the horror of a Kamala Harris children’s book.

Fox News, Kamala Harris

Speaking of Kamala Harris, Fox News has been obsessed with the fact that she hasn’t been holding frequent press conferences, something that vice-presidents rarely do. Fox reports every single day on how how many days since her last press conference, but still hasn’t managed to spark any interest in that.

Consequently, Fox is now upping the ante with a story that is burning with international intrigue. It all began Friday when Harris welcomed the President of South Korea, Moon Jae-in, to the White House. This is the headline that Fox News composed to report this meeting: “Kamala Harris wipes hand after greeting South Korean leader.”

As you can see, Fox News, demonstrating their commitment to reputable journalism, was intensely focused on the substance of this summit and how it affects the American people. They even included a video of the Harris “gaffe” that they plucked from Twitter.

The article states that “Harris was caught on camera Friday immediately wiping her right hand on her jacket after shaking hands with South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the White House.” They assert that this is an unforgivably rude insult to President Moon. Never mind that Moon didn’t appear to even notice it. That may be because all Harris really did was briefly touch her jacket. But even if she had executed the alleged “wipe,” SO F**KING WHAT?

People are allowed to engage in whatever harmless personal hygiene activities they want. Especially during a deadly global pandemic. What if Moon’s hand was sweaty? Would Fox prefer it if Harris walked around with a wet hand for the rest the day? What do you think Donald Trump would have done? He probably would have ordered some KFC because, you know, it’s finger lickin’ good.

This isn’t the first time that Fox News has tried to manufacture a scandal about Harris. They previously accused her of disrespecting the Marines stationed at the airport when she boarded Air Force Two by not returning a salute. However, the Vice-President is not in the chain of military command and has no obligation to do so.

This is just another in a series of pathetic attempts to malign Harris, and by extension, President Biden and Democrats in general. And it’s further proof that Fox is not – and never has been – news.

UPDATE: This is now a two day story as Fox News’ Outnumbered devoted a segment to it on Monday.

GOP QAnon Rep Calls Pelosi Mentally Ill, Then Compares Face Masks to the Holocaust

Posted by on May 22, 2021 at 12:24 pm. 3 Comments :

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has distinguished herself as the Fox News approved QAnon mouthpiece for congressional Republicans. Her manic raving is frequently so far over the edge that it’s impossible to imagine anyone could take her seriously. And yet she is sitting member of Congress with all of the rights and privileges that go along with that position.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, QAnon

This week Greene may have outdone herself during an interview by Real America’s Voice host, David Brody, on the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). The subject was the mandate in the House of Representatives to wear face masks, a policy that is expected to remain in place per CDC guidelines, or until all members are vaccinated. Which is a problem because some Republicans are stubbornly and ignorantly refusing to get the shot. When Brody asked Greene about the policy it led to this chilling exchange:

Brody: This is Nancy Pelosi saying – literally talking about this idea of segregating – segregation – like literally putting unvaccinated House members in a different area.
Pelosi Video: We have to wait for them to be vaccinated. Because they are selfishly an endangerment to other people, including staff people here […]
Greene: This woman is mentally ill. You know we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star and they were definitely treated like second class citizens. So much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany. And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about. […] This is a woman that is hyper-focused on her own power and control.

Brody was visibly disturbed at the notion that, in order to insure the health and safety of everyone, unvaccinated members would be socially distanced from others. But Green’s reply was what truly took this discussion over the top. Setting aside her infantile insult about Pelosi’s mental health, Greene’s analogy could not have been more nauseating.

Could Greene actually believe that there is any similarity between a requirement to wear a face mask that every health expert agrees will saves lives, and the genocidal murder of millions of Jews by Nazis in Germany? Well, actually, she does believe that. When asked later about her comment comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust she replied, “I stand by all of my statements. I said nothing wrong.”

So there you have it. Given the opportunity to correct or clarify her disgusting and deranged comparison, Greene doubled down. Now we know exactly where she stands on this issue. And as long she remains a member of the Republican caucus in the House, every one of her GOP colleagues shares responsibility for this position. They have the power to expel her, and if they choose not to, then they own her and her noxious ideas.
