Rep. Dan Crenshaw and his staff were violently confronted at the Republican Party of Texas convention a short time ago, when far-right social media activist Alex Stein and others whom witnesses described as Proud Boys began shouting “eyepatch McCain” at him – an attempted insult coined by Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson.

Update – 4 pm:
Another Twitter user posted video of himself verbally accosting Rep. Crenshaw. There is no apparent shoving in the clip, but after shouting at the congressman, the user Alex Rosen shouts at various people in the hotel calling the congressman a “fraud” and a “World Economic Forum sell-out.” Another person applauds and shouts back that Crenshaw supports Red Flag laws.

In the video, Rosen also yells at an elderly woman that she is the “reason we’re in this situation” after she objects to his behavior.
At the end, another person with him shouts “Dan Crenshaw is a traitor! He needs to be hung for treason!”

from now on, i think 'angry little boys' is what i'll use instead of proud boys. crenshaw's a dick, whose politics i do not agree with, but he's coined the perfect name for them.

this is the thing, isn't it? for all those who tacitly backed trump's encouragement of extremism by staying quiet, or even hopping onto the bandwagon with a few comments themselves agreeing with the stance, they're now realising they've created a monster. And the monster needs feeding by more and more outrageous utterances from the likes of mtg, gaetz, boebert, jordan, cruz... when the less extreme aren't feeding the monster, it turns on them and then they are surprised.
 
Stone and Bannon have a contemptuous history when it comes to legal trouble. Stone, Filipkowski alleged, blames Bannon's testimony partly for his own prosecution and conviction in 2019. Stone was convicted of obstruction, making false statements to Congress, and witness tampering in relation to Robert Mueller's investigation of the Trump campaign.
In denying Stone's motion for an acquittal in November 2019, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson wrote that Bannon's testimony and that of Rick Gates, were sufficient to prove the charges against Stone.

all the maga rats trying to prove their loyalty to the orange idol
 
and now ads encouraging people to go RINO hunting? wthf?

The ad shows the self-branded “MAGA Navy SEAL” carrying a shotgun and saying to the camera:
“I’m Eric Greitens, Navy SEAL, and today, we’re going RINO hunting.”
He then loads his shotgun and speaks in a lower tone in front of a house accompanied by some people dressed in camouflage.
“A RINO feeds on corruption and is marked by the stripes of cowardice.”
The armed military-dressed group busts into the house and Greitens walks into the home, saying:

“Join the MAGA crew. Get a RINO hunting permit. There is no bagging limit, no tagging limit and it doesn’t expire until we save our country.”

How the fuck is burning down pro-life organization buildings and offices okay, or the attempted assassination of a SC Justice, or the outright threatening of Justice Barrett's children okay when it's done by the Left? Get real, there is no comparison.
 
Fascism....their entire Politcal Party is 100% Fascism. Why would they speak out against it? It is what they want
They are doing what your party has done, foment revolution. One day soon you might actually get what you have so mightily promoted and called for.
 
McCain's war record was for what happened in the Vietnam War. When he helped to initiate the illegal conspiracy against Donald Trump he cashed in those bona fides. After which, to conservatives, he became a political Alfred Dreyfus who figuratively stripped him of his honors, his rank, slapped off his cap, and broke his sword. He was cashiered and cast from within their midst to become a pariah, to be loved only by the Swamp and the corrupt but thankful Democrat Party.

far right activist stein not only confronted crenshaw, he went after cruz, too

“Oh, I am smart, because you’re a globalist,” Stein cut him off. “You do more for Ukraine than you do for America. Remember how Trump made fun of your wife and you go become best friends with Trump?”

Stein went on to call Cruz “a coward,” and added, “you care more about the border between Ukraine and Russia than you care about the border between Texas and Mexico.” Stein was pulled away shortly after that as he continued to bash Cruz as a “a globalist, a coward, and a liar.”

“When people were freezing and dying, you were in Cancun, Mexico. Remember that?” Stein said as security moved him away from the senator. “You remember when you were at the all-inclusive buffet while people were freezing? You remember that, Ted?”

In the advertisement, released Monday morning, former Missouri Governor Greitens totes a firearm and says he's going "RINO hunting," for his political opponents and approaches a house with the label "THE RINO's DEN."

The video advertisement then depicts people dressed as military operatives raiding the house with Greitens saying, "Join the MAGA crew, get a RINO hunting permit. There's no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesn't expire until we save our country."

On Monday, Twitter had flagged the Greitens advertisement, saying it violated the Twitter Rules about abusive behavior. Users cannot share or like the tweet, but they can still access it via Greitens' account, as Twitter considered the tweet "may be in the public's interest."
