Pompeo slams Taylor-Greene for 'playing footsie' with 'anti-Semitic neo-Nazis'

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo condemned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Sunday for "playing footsie" with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who hosted a conference she attended on Friday.

"Associating with anti-Semitic neo-Nazis is not consistent with the conservative values I've defended for decades. Representative Taylor-Greene playing footsie with Nick Fuentes and his splinter movement is shameful," Pompeo tweeted.

On Friday, Greene attended a white nationalist conference in Orlando, Fla., organized by Fuentes, a far-right podcaster who has made multiple antisemitic remarks. Greene later claimed to not know Fuentes's views and said she only attended to "talk to the audience."

Photos of the event showed Fuentes shaking Greene's hand. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) also attended the event.

GOP Rule: All footsie-playing with white nationalists MUST be done behind closed doors. Never in public.

because we all know he would never. He also has no future plans so he would never say anything that would make that no future plan too difficult.

So don’t be surprised if one of the Democratic memes next fall is “Like attracts like.”

Is this that phallocephalic dude who praised Putin as "savvy"? Or is he that lard-ass who look likes a prohibition-era thug from the Chicago outfit? Or is it that smirky monkey who was planning a big victory lap around Europe after the Beerbelly Putsch

I really despise people like this, the hypocrites who suddenly are concerned about anti-Semitism. That he said anything, OK, that is the first step, but as the saying goes, "judge them by what they do, not what they say." This is nothing but hollow posturing. He and those like him don't give a shit about Jews or anti-Semitism, and he has lots of doppelgangers!
