    Default How the far right is changing the GOP

    WASHINGTON (AP) — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy appears to have settled on a strategy to deal with a handful of Republican lawmakers who have stirred outrage with violent, racist and sometimes Islamophobic comments.

    If you can’t police them, promote them.

    I am always amused when leftist losers think Republicans have the problem. November is going to be harsh on low IQ leftist losers like you snowflake.

    House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Friday that recent political distractions caused by a trio of conservative rabble-rousers — Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Lauren Boebert (Colo.) and Paul Gosar (Ariz.) — are things that Republicans “would not want to deal with” and result in “problems” as his party tries to win back the majority in 2022.

    A pair of related incidents consumed House Republicans this week, after Boebert suggested that progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), a refugee and one of just three Muslim Americans in Congress, could be a terrorist.

    Those racist and Islamophobic remarks were condemned by fellow first-term Republican Rep. Nancy Mace (S.C.) during a CNN appearance. The back-and-forth sparked more intraparty warfare in McCarthy’s conference: Greene, a Boebert ally, took to Twitter and attacked Mace as “trash;” Mace responded in kind, calling Greene “batshit crazy.”
