Greene gave a speech at an AFPAC event he hosted so there is no way she is getting away with saying nothing right now.
She is an idiot for attending a Fuentes hosted event in the first place.
As I've said about Trump (in a reply to you IIRC), these "populist" politicians end up between a rock and a hard place. They need an edge to them which means courting risque people.
Associating with a worthless grifter like Nick Fuentes doesn't help anyone electorally.
She's a politician. She's always around worthless grifters.
Republicans, particularly the MAGA types, are terrible at vetting potential allies. They're so glad to have anyone that appears to be on their side, all someone has to do is wave a flag and say "AMERICA FIRST" and they'll show up. He's actually a cannibal necrophiliac? Oopsie!
Democrats don't have this problem, because neither their own party, nor the media will hold them accountable when, say, President Obama gets chummy with the lunatic black supremacist, anti-white, antisemite Louis Farrakhan.
Perfectly stated.
This is what I am talking about.
The world has different standards for the left versus the right because the left has succeeded in institutional capture of every major institution.
The right cannot emulate the left in having major politicians associating with people like Farrakhan and expect to win anything.
The right has a problem where they are so starved for a celebrity to affirm their values that they prematurely latch on to any degenerate who blinks twice at the right.
The retarded House GOP twitter account deleted the tweet now but two weeks ago they had a tweet saying that the three people who define the new Republican party are Kanye West, Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Fucking idiots to prematurely say stupid shit like this.
The right is awful at optics. Optics unfortunately do matter when the fucking left has a stranglehold over every major institution.
The right is always going to have an optics problem, simply because the left uses its control of the media and all of our other cultural institutions to defame the right regardless of who they run, who they associate with, what they say, or what they do. The right could get better at not making the problem worse, but I'm not convinced the problem could be mitigated enough to improve our electoral outcomes (to the extent those matter anymore with the fraud problem being what it is). One reason I like DeSantis is because he's capable of fighting the media and our woke institutions without falling into every obvious trap they set for him. But now that all the bad actors are backing him to try to get rid of Trump and I feel dirty advocating for him despite my positive opinion of him.
It’s called “no enemies to the left, no friends to the right”. It’s been a well-known issue for decades.
