I find a lot of faults with Dem policy but I don’t find as many Dems who are just out right lying / misrepresenting the truth like Boebert, MTG & even the lost soul of Ron Johnson.  I can’t believe fellow GOPers don’t find value in shutting these people up.  Their lies is not doing a thing to grow the party.  It’s feeding a small part of the base.  Incredibly frustrating.

If the media weren’t so fixated on MTG and Bobert their crackpot claims would go nowhere. But instead, they’re elevating them to deity status much like Fox News did with AOC.

Some blame on the media but this is very much a GOP problem - they created it, they voted them in, and they need to deal with it. Otherwise we'd be able to point out the efforts the GOP leadership are taking to reign these obviously insane representatives and then point to the media resurrecting the crazy. But there hasn't been any criticism from the leadership. Lack of criticism = endorsement (also, people said the exact same thing about the media and Trump)

Absolutely ... it's absolutely the media's fault that Marjorie Q. Greene compared a House mask mandate with Jews being taken to the gas chamber.

[naginiF]

Think he is talking about Lightfoot. Not sure why he thinks that is relevant.

got it, super odd non sequitur. Unless.....

Red herring to distract from the big lie and complete absence of ideas.

If nobody hears it does it matter?

I know, ratings and clicks.

So, it is your contention that the media should ignore when a member of Congress says such things - let alone when her party leadership condones them.  Interesting.

Lens, you're right, but your fellow GOPers have concluded that they don't want or need to grow the party but instead will use rigged statehouses and federal judiciary to shrink the electorate.

They've turned her into a celebrity. If not for the national media people outside of her district wouldn't know who she is (same with Bobert). They're giving her a national platform to spew her nonsense. She knows this too.  The media, and left, are being played by her and at the same time, elevating her in profile and importance.

It's the same with Trump now. He has no social media platform and yet my feeds are full of "did you see what Trump said" tweets. They're giving him what he can't get on his own.

Clicks above all else!!  Forget the divide it causes amongst us.

You're blaming the media for her platform not the district that elected a nut job high school drop out to federal office? This is some misplaced frustration

That's right! It's the media's fault that the high school dropout, the Qanon adherent, and the underage sex-trafficker are simultaneously the loudest and the most ignorant national legislators. It's the media that is trying to divide, not these imbeciles with their actual words.

He did say “outside her district”.  They are plenty to blame.  But there are terrible Congresspeople across the country who are dumb and say dumb stuff but are more or less anonymous to the general public nationally.

It's also the media's fault that when MTG compares the push for vaccines to Jews being gassed in Nazi Germany, basically only Adam K calls her out.  Does McCarthy not have twitter?

What would you have him do? Surely not call her out and incur the wrath of Dear Leader??

The Republican party had the opportunity to make a clean break from Trump after 1/6; they chose the opposite, right down to pretending the insurrection was just a normal day. And once they took that step, they had to adhere to ALL the dogma including the evilness of masks, the vaccine, and "stolen" elections.

Very interesting look into the history of the whole "5 micron aerosol" thing and how that threshold impacted the bad advice that Sars-CoV-2 is not airborne early on.

Guess you missed Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, et al. They knew from sworn testimony in closed session that there was no evidence of Russian collusion but publicly insisted differently for years. So, the very definition of the big lie.

Anyone who is surprised by politicians (from either side) blatantly lying when it suits their purposes hasn’t been paying attention for at least 20 years.

Nice to see about 95% mask usage at the grocery store today despite it no longer being required by the company (for vaccinated individuals).  Stay safe out there.

I think Joe’s popularity and cold efficiency have riled these people up again. They miss the chaos & crazy.

LOL. Never voted for Trump. Too many true things about him disturbed me. But that doesn’t mean I swallow the fiction, too. That’s for the lunatics from the far left.
