While I love it when fascists fight among themselves, I usually reserve judgment that this is another sign of “Republicans Rioting and Burning Down Their Own Stores!” until I see the smoking ruins for myself. In other words, do we see any electoral defeats for the fascists at the polls? However, we do not have any upcoming eletions, so we have to wait. BUT there are some insurrectionists and Neo-Nazis who are putting big lumps of coal down Majorie Taylor Greene’s Christmas Stocking for her support of — wait for it — Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House. And it is “interesting” to read the reasons for the lack of love from some fascists for MTG.

In other words, this is so fucked up it’s almost hilarious.

The far right is out to destroy one of their own. Over the past week, far-right pundits have begun lining up to take shots at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as the congresswoman reportedly vacationed in Costa Rica. As for why fellow extremists are upset? That’s three-fold—and it involves Greene’s vocal support for Rep. Kevin McCarthy to be the next Speaker of the House, her public spat with onetime friend Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), and the finalization of her divorce.

Oh the horror! Greene supports McCarthy! Greene got into a cat fight with Boebert! And Greene is getting divorced!!!!

That last one threw me, but it will be cleared up in a few.

With regards to supporting McCarthy, it appears that the fascists aren’t happy that McCarthy refuses to reinstate “Motion to Vacate the Chair.” It’s the no confidence move that the TEA Party nuts used against House Speaker Boehner. It eventually led to Boehner resigning to go play golf. McCarthy may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he was around to see that happen. And McCarthy knows if that rule is brought back his time as being Speaker will be counted in days if not hours.

And Ali Alexander — Mr. Insurrectionist — ain’t happy:

“MTG wants to protect McCarthy from being removed if he is elected Speaker,” Jan 6th organizer Ali Alexander wrote on Telegram, seething over Greene. “There is something so odd about what is going on between McCarthy and MTG. I’ve only ever once before seen anything like it. It may be time for me to intervene.”

The odd thing is called POLITICS you dope! MTG got herself a deal from McCarthy, so it is why she supports him. What that deal is we will have to wait to find out, at least the details. But most predictions is that MTG is Shadow Speaker.

And Alexander is not the only one who is willing to die on this hill for a motion to vacate the chair:

x I see you've stopped talking about dildos and butt plugs to stand by your China/Israel Owned FTX boy Kevin.



Marje - You claim you want to "Defeat the Democrats”.



You haven't ONCE demanded that Kevin get rid of Pelosi's rules and bring back the Motion to Vacate the Chair. https://t.co/irwDAp4pv8 — Stew Peters (@realstewpeters) December 20, 2022

Here is some background info on Stew Peters:

When Georgia gubernatorial candidate Vernon Jones appeared last month on an internet show hosted by right-wing personality Stew Peters, Jones could have reasonably expected a softball interview. Jones, a former Democratic state representative, became a darling on the right after he endorsed Donald Trump’s re-election bid. Now he’s the leading primary challenger to Gov. Brian Kemp (R), with endorsements from Michael Flynn and Rudy Giuliani. But Peters tore into Jones, citing a 2010 discrimination judgment against a Georgia county Jones once ran to accuse the candidate, who is Black, of discriminating against white employees. The interview grew heated. After Peters muted Jones, Jones quit the call. “That’s what bullies do,” Peters thundered to his audience. “They gaslight, shout you down, lie incessantly, to avoid the light of truth from being shined on their dark corruption.” Arizona state Rep. Wendy Rogers (R), a leading backer of the controversial Arizona “audit,” withdrew her endorsement of Jones after the Peters interview. Jones has been dogged by questions about the lawsuit on the campaign trail. But Peters wasn’t done. He followed up on the confrontation with a segment on a 2005 rape allegation against Jones, in which charges weren’t filed after the alleged victim decided she couldn’t withstand the publicity a trial would bring. The Jones campaign did not return a request for comment. Peters has risen on the far right over the past few months as a sort of slightly less unhinged version of Alex Jones, pumping out coronavirus disinformation and other conspiracy theories while allying himself with Trumpworld figures like lawyer Lin Wood. Amid his calls for Anthony Fauci’s execution, Peters amassed a sizable audience of nearly 300,000 followers on social media app Telegram, and played host on his show to figures as prominent as Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward. The Jones fracas represented a new high point for Peters’ influence. But unlike his competitors, Peters hasn’t always been climbing the right-wing media ladder. As recently as a few months ago, Peters was tackling and tasing suspects as a bounty hunter.

Great guy.

Anyway, Peters called MTG a “faker and a liar” because she will not support a speaker of the House that PROMISES to impeach Biden. It appears that McCarthy has not decided to openly support an impeachment of Biden, so MTG’s support of McCarthy is some kind of sellout. Notice I said “openly.”

They have some examples of other fascists and the famous Neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes turning on MTG. Seems that MTG got around to condemning Nick Fuentes after he had dinner with Trump. MTG sided with McCarthy that ideas supported by Fuentes have no “place” in the GOP. And Fuentes is not happy about that. He has urged his followers to harass MTG when she appears in public.

And what about MTG’s other sins? One being trashing Boebert. Alexandar called MTG “a trailer park hoodrat.”

But eventually, you know where Republican men always go when bashing a woman. Seems that the animosity toward Greene is zeroing in on Greene’s sex life like a heat seeking missle. And no, it is something I do not think about, but her haters in fascists circles are going there.

“Marjorie is NOT America First, but regrettably a faker and a liar who raised millions claiming she would impeach Biden, and now backs a man for Speaker who refuses to impeach Biden,” he said Friday evening. Additionally, Peters—like many other far-right pundits—engaged in an extremely sexist attack referencing the allegation that Greene had an affair with a “tantric sex guru” ahead of her recent divorce. Peters suggested the “wholesome Christian mom” image she ran under was a farce, apparently in light of her divorce, calling her a “two-bit whore.”

You might be wondering, “WTF?” I did a Google search, and there are some nasty rumors that MTG had an affair with another fascist troll called Alex Stein. Unfortunately, most of the information about this affair is coming from Rupert Murdoch owned tabloids or other right wing rags. But one Ron Filipkowski, who monitors right wing websites and trolls, came up with this:

I cannot verify this, but right wingers are saying it was Mr. Greene who filed for divorce based upon his finding out that MTG was having an affair with Stein. One of those spreading this tale includes a convicted insurrectionist and internet troll Baked Alaska (real name Tim Gionet). Now, I only bring this up because it is just one more “sin” that MTG has supposedly committed against the fascist movement.

Frankly, I don’t care about MTG’s sex life. In the past, this kind of whiff of scandal would sink a politician as a liar and hypocrite. But Republicans only care about Democratic liars and hypocrites. Trump took shame away from the GOP, so I am not sure how calling MTG a “whore” is going to make a difference to her constituents.

However, it does make for a lovely stocking stuffer for MTG, along with the other lumps of coal she is receiving from her allies.
