Conservative Infighting Explodes At Turning Point USA's AmericaFest

It appears there is MAGA TROUBLE in MAGAland, ladies and gentlemen. Factions within the ultra MAGA universe cannot decide what is means to be all Pro-White America. Let the infighting commence as the divides over how to address conspiracy theories and antisemitism were put on full display.

Top conservative influencers repeatedly turned on each other at Turning Point USA’s annual confab this past week while grappling with how to take on rising antisemitism and bigotry in the Republican Party.

The sold-out gathering, which was billed as AmericaFest and held in Phoenix, was the first event of its magnitude since TPUSA’s founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed earlier this year. The infighting points to deeper divides the party is struggling to address, particularly since many of its younger members have embraced Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist and Holocaust denier, and other extremist views.

Ben Shapiro, a prominent conservative commentator, opened the event with a scathing takedown of a slew of Republican pundits, including some he accused of elevating conspiracy theories and antisemitism.

“The conservative moment is also in danger from charlatans who claim to speak in the name of principle, but actually traffic in conspiracism and dishonesty,” Shapiro said. “These people are frauds, and they are grifters, and they do not deserve your time.”

If you are not from a country that settled in America prior to the American Revolution(England or the Netherlands), YOU are NOT an AMERICAN. Immigrants from other parts of the world appear not to count.

So what about the Africans that were brought to this new continent AGAINST their wills to satisfy the lust of owners of huge tracts of land that became plantations? What of the people from other parts of Europe that spoke languages not English? This term "Heritage American" applies to those of Anglo-Saxon origins(England) only?

Do these TPUSA freaks want APARTHEID for the United States? Why do they not just say that right out?

IIRC, MTG and Gaetz were planning to start a "WASP-American 'think' tank" of sorts, feeling that those Americans who couldn't trace their history back to the Mayflower weren't "real" Americans: the Irish, Italians, Slavs, Poles, etc. It's about as extreme and anti-American as it gets, but here we are.
