It's absolutely hilarious the level of deference (and excuse making) he gives his allies while he gives his enemies (the libs) the absolute worst levels of bad faith. Libs are evil based on this one thing they said 25 years ago but c'mon she said "Hitler was good" on her 1st day.
Glenn is just going through and yelling at every single person who QT'ed his announcement. He is definitely not mad.
#Actually Marjorie Taylor Greene is the REAL anti-fascist.....if you really think about it.
Also, if someone were to willingly attend a domestic neo-nazi convention, I justttt might question how sincere her concerns about 'arming foreign neo-nazis' were. That's just me, though.

And if you're not buying that.......whatabout Obama? whatabout DavidFrumBillKristolJeffreyGoldberg? And most of all, whatabout Justin Trudeau? Margie doesn't sound so bad now, does she?
Glenn has to pretend that the Jewish Space Lasers are the only thing MTG has ever done wrong bc he can't actually defend all of her behavior (especially the ones he likes, like attending the Neo-Nazi convention), so he just keeps harping on this.
Did you ever update your followers on that story you wrote saying Pelosi's attacker was not a RW MAGA guy but actually a BLM-loving Lib, Mr. Shellenberger MD (not a Dr.)?
It can't be said enough that the initial claim of the "Russia Skeptic Journalists" had nothing to do with "collusion" (or conspiracy), just that it was RU at all who was doing the hack/leak to help Trump. They called that "McCarthyite/Redbaiting." It was of course 100% true.
They claimed Clinton/the DNC was inventing this out of whole cloth to tar Donald Trump and excuse them running a terrible campaign bla bla bla. All the Libs who said it was Russia were 100% right; they were 100% wrong.
Only later, after they had exhausted all the 'I'm just asking questions' bullshit and that became untenable did they shift the goalposts to 'the only thing that matters is if the Trump campaign gets indicted for criminally conspiring with the Russian govt."
This is just an absolutely brutal article summarizing the Barr-Durham "Russiagate" investigations. As bad as it looked from the outside, it was even worse inside. Quite literally they abused their power to 'weaponize the federal govt' for partisan gain.
Again, this is the narrative that those like @mtaibbi, @ggreenwald and @mtracey have declared over and over is correct and vindicates them, despite it being an absolute colossal failure of an investigation.
Matt Taibbi said the one charge of Sussmann (which was later laughed out of court and he never mentioned again) made it "like Watergate."
"Listing Adam Schiff's major lies would require a book"
*can't even list a single one*
Also, if telling a lie was an appropriate trigger for removing someone from a committee, there would literally not be a single GOPer left lol.
Glem Greenwald: Precedent Respecter.
Nancy Pelosi rejecting Republicans who were involved in Jan. 6 from the committee investigating Jan. 6 is exactly the same as the GOP removing people because they don't like them. I am a serious person.
If you're wondering how this compares to Glenn's treatment of the Trump Mar-a-Lago classified documents well, somehow he literally never even mentioned them. Not a single tweet. Audacious, even by his standards.
He hid behind his husband's illness for a while, disappeared and just...nothing. For the biggest story in politics for several months.
Now with Biden of course, he's tweeting about it non-stop. Everyone else is partisan but Glem, just an independent, down-the-middle journalist.
Still a better reaction that Taibbi's, whatever the hell this was, though. Glenn knew there was nothing he could say without upsetting his viewer-base, so he just stfu.
