Republicans FREAKING out as Republicans party breaks in 2.
At Jewish Coalition today:
Levine called MTG - Majorie TRADER Green, and called Tucker, Fuentes, MTG, Bannon, and Candace anti-Americans, buffoons, unaccomplished Neanderthals who have contributed nothing -cowards with microphones. Wow! Major - Republicans not just attacking Republicans but hating Republicans and wishing them to be dealt with
Says poison is spreading in Republican house and these people are BURNING down the Republican house. . Sounds like freaking out. 90% of Republicans responding disliked Levin.
Problem for Republicans is these 5 are growing in popularity. Candace says she no longer likes Trump and the Republican Party and has 5.5 million followers on YouTube alone. One of her podcasts last week on YouTube had over 5 million views not counting probably over5 million more from Spotify, Rumble, Facebook etc. This has got to affect Republicans getting out to vote - 10 million Republicans watching a podcast where the host dislikes the Republicam party.
This is great for Democratic Party.

(25,296 posts)That's a play on turning point, and I am considering launching "Tipping Point", a.k.a. "The Epstein Event Horizon".
Does this have to do with Israel? I gather that there was some difference on that issue, and a violent act.
TBH, I am focused on the positive side of things, but have also cooked up some graphics pointing out contradictions, not yet gone viral, such as the "Bin Laden thanks you for destroying the White House" and "Trump: We don't want to be the policemen of the world BY BRETT SAMUELS - 04/30/18 "

(10,988 posts)The podcasters are anti genocide -At least Candace,Tucker, MTG & Fuentes are. Also, they want money given to Israel to be used for Americans. I have no idea what are Bannons views - I think hes just against giving Israel money. I read he doesnt talk about the genocide that much but hes upset by the money we give Israel.
Candace , Charlie Kirks bestie, is obsessed about finding info on the killing of Charlie Kirk. She also dislikes Kash Patel & Trump believing they are hiding info about Charlies death. Candace just had liberal Norman Finkelstein on discussing Gaza - so millions of Republicans got to hear another side of the Gaza story from a liberal. They spoke of being very different politically but have the same anti-genocide views.

(25,296 posts)I guess that all makes sense in the context of the Middle East, where I've heard it said that "The Enemy of my enemy is also my enemy" .... or something as illogical.
I always wondered when Trump's strong support of Israel would conflict with the anti-semitism of the maga crowd.
Mention is made again of Epstein being involved with Israel, but it might be just CT. Or not.
Anything to split those bastards like the Democrats were split with the aid of a massive Russian bot army (proven fact)

AOL Hacked Emails Allege Jeffrey Epstein Helped Broker Diplomacy Between Israel, Russia
Hacked emails alleged Jeffrey Epstein facilitated efforts to open a backchannel between Israel and Russia during the Syrian civil war, according to multiple reports.
Leaked emails allegedly between former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Epstein reveal multiple exchanges during the height of the Syrian conflict between 2013 and 2016, according to Drop Site News. The Handala Hacking Team, a hacking group, leaked the alleged emails and Distributed Denial of Secrets disseminated them, the outlet reported.
The communications purportedly included a private meeting arranged by Epstein between Barak and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a potential joint effort to end the conflict.
Epstein was a crucial asset for Barak by relaying insider information from Russias elite, insights on Putins international contacts and guidance on the Israeli intelligence service Mossad, the hacked materials alleged. After stepping down as defense minister, Barak allegedly expanded his global business ventures and investment network with support from Epsteins advice and contacts.

They'll find some common enemy after Tuesday, then come together to consolidate around power.
We need to focus on re-districting and inflicting cruelty on them.

LAS VEGAS Republican Jews acknowledged antisemitism is cropping up in their movement during a conference this weekend, but were quick to blame left-leaning Democrats for fanning the flames. At the Republican Jewish Coalition leadership summit, a string of recent high-profile antisemitic incidents including a skirmish this week featuring Tucker Carlson and the Heritage Foundation cast a long shadow. Even as many speakers denounced antisemitism among conservatives and said the GOP must root it out, nearly all their condemnations were quickly qualified by criticism of Democrats. Republicans have a cold, and Democrats have a fever, Ari Fleischer, a former White House press secretary and RJC board member, told reporters. And Republicans are fighting the cold.
The groups summit, held annually at The Venetian Expo, the late casino magnate and GOP donor Sheldon Adelsons convention center, occurs this year as the Republican Party is facing a barrage of pro-Nazi and pro-Hitler incidents within its ranks. Last month, a nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel withdrew his nomination after bragging of his Nazi streak in a text message; days earlier, POLITICO reported on a leaked group chat of Young Republicans who praised Hitler and joked about the Holocaust. The same week, a Nazi symbol was discovered hanging in a GOP Congressional office. Then, this week, Carlson hosted Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast; the guest claimed the big challenge to unifying the country was organized Jewry. Carlson, a former Fox News host who retains a large following, said Republican Israel supporters suffer from a brain virus.
RJC speakers took aim at Carlson starting on the conferences opening night. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Thursday he has seen more antisemitism on the right in the past six months than I have in my entire life. If you sit there with someone who says Adolf Hitler was very, very cool, and that their mission is to combat and defeat global Jewry, and you say nothing, then you are (a) coward and you are complicit in that evil, Cruz said. But many speakers downplayed the concern, saying antisemitism is relegated to the fringes of the GOP. Matt Brooks, CEO of the hosting organization, told reports that antisemitism is a very small, limited problem in our party.
On Saturday, RJC staffers gave attendees large placards reading TUCKER IS NOT MAGA to wave, suggesting that Carlsons antisemitic views stand apart from the GOP mainstream. Rep. David Kustoff (R-Tenn.), the longest serving Republican Jew in Congress, emphasized in his speech that antisemitism is an issue on the fringes of the Republican Party, and suggested that legacy conservative institutions like the Heritage Foundation are removed from the partys mainstream. Heritage has to decide whether, in fact, theyre going to be a serious conservative movement and think tank and resource for all of us, or whether theyre going to pray to the fringes, Kustoff said in an interview.

Notice how Republicans in the states are avoiding meeting with their constituents in their Districts? How many Town Halls have they held that we know of addressing the issues that concern them as they "BLAME" Democrats for the Government shutdown that THEY caused?
From the people I know down in Rochester, 1st CD Congressman, Brad Finstad, has been nowhere to be seen at all. He prefers to hold Town Halls via teletown town Halls and invites only Republican supporters. All calls are screened before hand. Nothing in person where everyone is invited.
How is it in the states in which you live who are represented by a MAGA Republican?
