With Haley’s exit, Trump is now running uncontested for the GOP nomination.
Michele Morrow, who defeated an incumbent Republican Tuesday, has expressed support for executing Bill and Melinda Gates and once called to “ban” Islam.
Woodfill’s endorsement by Paxton was decried by some Republicans because of his close ties to Southern Baptist leader Paul Pressler, who has been accused multiple times of sexual abuse.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) promptly told British journalist Emily Maitlis to “fuck off” after The News Agents’ reporter asked her to talk about “Jewish space lasers” – a conspiracy theory advanced by her in an old social media post about the cause of the 2018 California wildfires.
On The Stew Peters Show, a segment on receiving blood from vaccinated donors went off the rails after its host began ranting about Jews. During an interview with Infowars contributor Matt Baker, Peters went on an angry, antisemitic tirade about how “the Jews have infiltrated literally everywhere” and appeared to call for the assassination of government officials.
