ICYMI, RedState is now running articles saying that Marjorie Taylor Greene should be in the House leadership.

It took about four months for a person who's endorsed executing Democrats to start getting endorsements from "mainstream conservative" sites.

Just as an FYI, the "Conservative Review" site mentioned in the original tweet is a vehemently anti-government publication that hates almost all Republicans for not being crazy enough.

But the site has a very curious history. It was started by a Democratic donor.

The man in question, Cary Katz, operated a massive student loan business that made him a billionaire. He worked to make student loans so that they couldn't be discharged in bankruptcy.

But his business evaporated thanks to an obscure provision in the Affordable Care Act.

As part of raising money to offset providing health care to millions of new people, the ACA federalized the student lending business. This saved the taxpayers millions of dollars. But it harmed Cary Katz.

So he started Conservative Review w/Obamacare as the singular obsession.

CR never told its readers why it wanted to "start over" on healthcare by utterly repealing Obamacare. It was to benefit Cary Katz. He would have gotten his business back.

The entire publication is a ruse, a scam. I wrote about it in detail here: salon.com/2017/03/04/con…

In short, Conservative Review was founded to advocate for less spending across the government, except in the area that benefitted its founder.

It's the ultimate GOP grift. So of course, when the GOP failed on Obamacare, Catz sued his own company reviewjournal.com/local/local-la…
