Rep. Elise Stefanik, the third-ranked House Republican, is partnering with QAnon conspiracy theorist Scott Presler for an event this Wednesday. @mmfa found that Presler promoted the violence-linked conspiracy theory in dozens of instances. mediamatters.org/qanon-conspira…
In a tweet last week, Stefanik wrote: "Thank you Scott for all of your hard work to #SaveAmerica ... Everyone is excited to meet you!"
The Daily Beast's @SollenbergerRC reported on Presler's history of extremism last week: thedailybeast.com/elise-stefanik…
So Rep. Elise Stefanik deleted her tweet promoting the Scott Presler event "about 1 hour ago," according to @propublica's Politwoops: projects.propublica.org/politwoops/twe…

Numerous right-wing media figures and outlets, including Fox News, Newsmax, and The Daily Wire, have contributed to anti-Asian hate by using and celebrating the racist "kung flu" term to refer to COVID-19. Here are over a dozen examples: mediamatters.org/diversity-disc…
The anti-Asian commentators include Steven Crowder, who sang a "Kung Flu Fighting" song while wearing Asian garb. Crowder, who has a history of anti-Asian racism, gets revenue from YouTube through its Partner Program ().
This person is, unsurprisingly, a frequent guest on Tucker Carlson's Fox News program:

This week's CPAC is featuring a speaker named Young Pharaoh. In the past year, he's claimed that: 1) Judaism is a “complete lie”; 2) Jewish people are "thieving"; 3) and “all the censorship & pedophilia on social media is being done by Israeli Jews.” mediamatters.org/diversity-disc…
Young Pharaoh is also a QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theorist. He's additionally pushed coronavirus, "Frazzledrip," and George Floyd conspiracy theories. (Research h/t @AlKapDC)

Why doesn't Sean Hannity open his show with the Pledge of Allegiance every night? Really makes you think.
Will Sean Hannity, Matt Gaetz, and Jim Jordan start their segment tonight with the Pledge of Allegiance? 🤔
Why doesn't Matt Gaetz start every day on Twitter by tweeting out the Pledge of Allegiance? Hmm???

There are a lot of pathetic things about this amendment, including that Marjorie Taylor Greene has attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar for being Muslim (mediamatters.org/congress/marjo…) and used violent rhetoric (cnn.com/2020/09/04/pol…) against her and the Squad.
Greene is a bigot who falsely thinks that Rep. Omar is an illegitimate member of Congress because she took her congressional oath of office on the Quran.

On Facebook in 2018, now-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) endorsed a conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton participated in a satanic child murder and ordered a hit on a police officer to cover it up. mediamatters.org/facebook/marjo…
Greene also liked a meme that was posted to her Facebook page in June 2018 claiming that Democrats have used the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for human trafficking, pedophilia, and organ harvesting. (The meme has since been removed.)
Additionally, Greene is a QAnon and 9/11 conspiracy theorist who has endorsed the false claims that the Parkland and Sandy Hook school shootings were staged.

Republicans recently selected her to be on the House Committee on Education and Labor: edweek.org/policy-politic…

In a newly uncovered 2018 FB post, Marjorie Taylor Greene endorsed the conspiracy theories that 9/11 was an inside job and that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged. She also (again) endorsed the conspiracy theory that the Parkland shooting was staged. mediamatters.org/false-flag-con…
@mmfa reported earlier this week that in other FB posts, Greene agreed that the Parkland shooting was actually a false flag planned event and claimed to have been told that House Speaker Pelosi has been saying that "we need another school shooting." mediamatters.org/false-flag-con…
Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy previously and falsely defended (washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…) Greene over her support for QAnon. His Twitter (@GOPLeader) header image currently features him with the GOP House freshman class, with Greene just a few spots away from him.
