She just don’t care who she runs with….
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) spoke at a white nationalist conference in Florida on Friday evening.
Greene, a QAnon conspiracist and rabidly anti-trans Republican, was the surprise speaker at the third annual America First Political Action Conference in Orlando, organized by white nationalist figurehead Nick Fuentes.
Fuentes, an antisemite and racist who attended the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and who was recently subpoenaed for his involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, excitedly introduced Greene as the featured speaker from behind a lectern inside the Marriott Orlando World Center, according to a livestream of the event. (HuffPost was denied entrance to AFPAC.)
In her speech, Greene referred to the assembled AFPAC crowd — among them prominent right-wing extremists who have been photographed giving the Nazi salute and reciting the infamous “14 words,” a white supremacist slogan — as “canceled Americans.”
“You’ve been handed the responsibility to fight for our Constitution and stand for our freedoms, and stop the Democrats who are the communist party of the United States of America,” Greene said.
She also took time to attack transgender people, claiming Democrats have destroyed “gender” and “pronouns.”….
If I recall correctly, Paul Gosar had a prime speaking role at this convention last year.
Z?
House GOP Leaders Must Condemn Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar….
National Review
What does NR mean,”must.?”
Greene- Taylor and Gosars views represent those of Millions of Republicans.
Not a majority ,but a sizeable Minority.
National Review ,as do many other Republicans ,better realize that in order to win elections they need the support of the people these two bigots represent .
Does this mean that Gosar attended the event again in 2022?
????
Gosar did attend he event in 2022, but it doesn’t look like he had a speaking role.

It appears that Gosar spoke at the 2022 event via video link.
I can’t imagine even ten years ago that the GOP would openly support white supremicists. They might tolerate politicians who pushed racist views, provided that those views were subtle and one could plausibly deny they were racist. But racism appears to be more overt now than at any time of my adult life.
Trump EMBRACED it as way to capture and pimp the Republicans…
It is why I don’t understand ANYBODY seriously entertaining Tom Scott as the Trump VP choice….
It just does NOT make sense….
Greene goes to their get together’s and then tries to Bull Shit most media while winking to the rascists in her party…
David Duke would not be rejected by the GOP if he ran for office in 2022.
True THAT Scott…..
Pitiable…
David Duke believes that Trump and Carlson copied his replacement theory ideas:

The problem some white Republicans have with Black Republicans………
Georgia Republican Senate candidate and former NFL star Herschel Walker is backing out of a planned speech at an event organized by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after she attended a white nationalist conference.
Walker, the frontrunner in the GOP primary to challenge Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), was previously slated to speak at Greene’s “Second Amendment and Freedom Rally” in Rome, Ga. on Saturday. His campaign confirmed on Tuesday that he will no longer address the event.
