Now these Trump republicans have lost Jonah Goldberg.

Yes that Jonah Goldberg of infamous National Review renown. The stanch Clinton hating conservative who penned "Liberal Fascism" and whose mother advised Linda Tripp to record her phone calls with Lewinski. It appears this latest bunch of compatriots, especially Marjorie Green, is a bridge too far, even for him.

I am in no way a fan of Jonah Goldberg, but when republicans lose him, they might as well change the name and start with a clean sheet of paper.

Column: Where QAnon goes, so goes the Republican Party

By Jonah Goldberg

Warning: Disturbing stuff ahead.

There’s a conspiracy theory called Frazzledrip. Even for QAnon types, it’s pretty fringe, which is saying something. Recall that the central belief in Q-world is that there’s a secret cabal of Satan-worshiping, sex-trafficking pedophiles running the government.

Frazzledrip is worse. It is the name of an imagined video of a young girl on Huma Abedin’s laptop in a folder labeled “life insurance.” Abedin, the ex-wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner, was an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

According to Vice, the nonexistent video shows Clinton filleting off the young girl’s face. The two women take turns wearing the girl’s face as a mask to terrify the child so blood is suffused with adrenochrome. They drink her blood as part of a satanic ritual.

*snip*

Now, you don’t have to be a Clinton fan — I’m certainly not — to recognize this garbage as evil and insane. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the QAnon-friendly Republican representative from Georgia, disagrees. She endorsed the theory on her Facebook page in 2018.


Entire column continued here. It gets good:

The day the LA Times replaced Robert Scheer with Jonah was the day I cancelled my subscription
