Over the course of the last year or two, the New York Young Republican Club has been taken over by a fascist, anti-American MAGA element, driving mainstream conservatives out. Over the weekend, their annual fundraising event featured Trump Jr, Steve Bannon, Jack Posobiec, Rudy Giuliani, James O’Keefe, the Sam Bankman-Fried-owned MAGA congressman-elect George Santos from Nassau County and, the star of the night, headliner Marjorie Traitor Greene. Aside from advocating Russia’s position in their Ukraine invasion, she thrilled the audience by mythologizing the J-6 insurrection and attempted coup.
Long suspected of having shown the terrorists around the Capitol in the days before the violent sacking, this is what Traitor Greene told the Nazi-oriented crowd of New Yorkers Saturday night:
“I want to tell you something, if Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won. Not to mention, we would’ve been armed.”
Deputy White House press secretary Andrew Bates said Greene’s pro-insurrectionist comments were a “slap in the face” to the law enforcement officers who risked their lives to keep her and other Members of Congress safe from the violent mob. “It goes against our fundamental values as a country for a Member of Congress to wish that the carnage of January 6th had been even worse, and to boast that she would have succeeded in an armed insurrection against the United States government. This violent rhetoric is a slap in the face to the Capitol Police, the DC Metropolitan Police, the National Guard, and the families who lost loved ones as a result of the attack on the Capitol. All leaders have a responsibility to condemn these dangerous, abhorrent remarks and stand up for our Constitution and the rule of law.”
Once well-known as the blowjob queen of Alpharetta, Traitor Greene, who claims to be "Christian" now, also spent some time babbling to an appreciative audience of right-wing goons about butt plugs and dildos.
A report on the event from the Southern Poverty Law Center warned that the far right is bracing for “total war” against the US. Hannah Gais and Michael Edison Hayden wrote that “A collection of radical right figures including white nationalists and ultranationalist European leaders gathered in Manhattan for the New York Young Republicans Club’s (NYYRC) annual gala Saturday night, where that group’s president declared ‘total war’ on perceived enemies. ‘We want to cross the Rubicon. We want total war. We must be prepared to do battle in every arena. In the media. In the courtroom. At the ballot box. And in the streets,’ NYYRC president Gavin Wax declared to a room full of supporters at 583 Park Ave., an event venue on New York’s Upper East side. ‘This is the only language the left understands. The language of pure and unadulterated power,’ Wax added.”
Republican speakers repeatedly voiced an anti-democracy, authoritarian ideology, and extremists in the audience cheered wildly. White nationalists such as the Brimelows of VDARE and leaders from extreme far right European parties like Alternative for Germany (Alternative für Deutschland, AfD), whom German officials placed under surveillance for their ties to extremism, and Austrian Freedom Party (Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs, FPÖ), ate and drank in the same room as newly elected Republican congresspeople, such as Long Island and Queens-based George Santos, Georgia-based Mike Collins and Florida-based Cory Mills.
…Bannon, the former Trump adviser, physically embraced the white nationalist Brimelows at NYYRC, spoke to the couple for several minutes and took a selfie with them. VDARE traffics in the great replacement conspiracy theory and has published defenses of writing a terrorist who gunned down 24 people in an El Paso Wal-Mart in 2019 allegedly authored. Peter Brimelow attended the white supremacist American Renaissance conference in November, whose host has portrayed Black people as being subhuman. The Brimelows publish writing authored by Jason Kessler, who helped organize the deadly 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Traitor Greene and the rest of them got a nice, loud, traditional New York City welcome.
Oh and by the way, have you ever wondered who would win in an AOC vs Marjorie Traitor Greene national electoral matchup? This prognosticator has an interesting perspective and thinks AOC would even win Arizona... and the presidency:
"Republican speakers repeatedly voiced an anti-democracy, authoritarian ideology, and extremists in the audience cheered wildly."
like I keep warning all you idiots, welcome to the reich. it's coming. you refuse to stop it. when the nazis actually bring their AR15s to the next insurrections (DC plus a plurality of state houses), they will find that they are unopposed. your pussy democrap party won't do "merrick garland", just like they've refused to *DO* anything about anything since nixon committed treason in 1968 to help himself get elected. your pussy democraps will beg the nazis to just take everything and not to remember how hitler's "final solution" evolved.
a theoretical presidential race between your fake progressive hero, AOC, and the out-in-the-open and…
