A new group has formed with the goal of taking out far-right extremists in Congress, reported The New York Times on Thursday.
"A bipartisan group of political operatives spanning the ideological spectrum from former members of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus to a Democrat who challenged Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has started a political action committee aimed at 'stopping MAGA' and eradicating what the operatives call an authoritarian streak among some Republican lawmakers," reported Nick Corasaniti. "The group, Mission Democracy PAC, will challenge far-right members of Congress in their often deep-red home districts, running ads and messaging campaigns that accuse the politicians of holding antidemocratic and extreme positions."
According to the report, Mission Democracy PAC has about $500,000 on hand, and is hoping to raise $18 million ahead of the 2024 election, pouring that money into various congressional races to unseat extremists.
Among the founders are Denver Riggleman, a former Republican congressman and Freedom Caucus member from Virginia who helped advise the House January 6 Committee, and Marcus Flowers, a Democratic candidate who ran unsuccessfully against Greene in the last election cycle. Former national security official Olivia Troye is also on the team.

How bad are you if a former freedom caucus member thinks you are too far right? Meh... We'll take his money to get rid of Boebert.
