    That’s not funny. Unless she’s saying that because of the rumor Ben Shapiro is going to take over TPUSA. Then it would be very, very funny.

      She’s referring to AIPAC. She seems to think Charlie was opening up to allowing other perspectives on the issue of Palestine besides unequivocally supporting Israel before he was shot. Now she’s afraid they will take control of tp usa and shut down any debate on the issue.

        This isn’t unique to her, to MTG.

        Of course MTG just actually is an anti-semite, but we also have Candace Owens (I mean, also an anti-semite broadly, but still)… she’s saying that basically, Kirk snubbed an offer of a bunch of money from Israeli funders, because he did not want to be that beholden to that kind of positioning, and the right is currently ‘having a normal one’ arguing about this.

        Kirk knew that Israel isn’t popular with younger Republicans, that Fuentes types and other right wingers had been attacking him from the right, for being way too supportive of Israel.

        I am far from up to speed on any of this, but basically, its way more than just MTG being fucking crazy on her own, this is a thing the whole …sphere of right wing personalities is … yeah currently, as in literally right now, elsewhere on the internet/broadcast media… ‘having a very normal one’ over.

        I guess you could call this something like a split between the neocons, and the racists true patriots, basically?
