"A Corrosive Kind of Cowardice"

First, watch that video.  Yes, I've used it once already today; now I want to highlight it.  Did you watch it yet?  Don't read on until you have.

Okay, ready now?  Proceed:

At the same time, Ms. McDaniel [chairwoman of the RNC] made clear that she was not going to impose top-down decision making on the party, noting that the role of the R.N.C. was to stay neutral in primaries. She said she planned to do so in the 2022 midterm elections, barring more extreme behavior emerging.

“It depends if there’s more egregious things, if there’s a David Duke situation,” she said. “Marjorie Taylor Greene is trying to distance herself from those things and there’s going to be an investigation. I trust the voters. I have a lot of faith in the voters to pick who’s best to represent them.” 

Jewish space lasers, blatant racism, threats on the life of Nancy Pelosi, "frzazzledrip"? And a few more I hadn't caught:

In addition to her past endorsements of violence, Greene has also expressed support for a litany of conspiracy theories, including the QAnon theory that claims Democrats are a cabal of Satanist pedophiles; a theory about the Rothschild family helping former California Gov. Jerry Brown build a space laser to burn down forests; a claim about members of the 2016 Clinton campaign sacrificing chickens to the pagan deity Moloch; and theories about multiple school shootings being "false flag" operations.

I know there's some repitition there, but I don't remember David Duke ever calling Democrats "Satanist pedophles."  And I'll be he wishes he'd thought of connecting the Rothschilds to Jerry Brown and California forest fires via a "space laser."

I can remember when being insufficiently solicitious of Israel was considered "anti-semitism" and grounds for dismissal from decent society, at least in the halls of Congress.  Now?

Now, Kate McKinnon is right:  nothing works.
