X has been placing ads for brands like Apple, Bravo (NBCUniversal), IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity (Comcast) next to posts touting Hitler and his Nazi Party. Linda Yaccarino previously claimed brands are “protected from the risk of being next to” toxic posts.
"'I supervise six hospitals around the United States,' [Herschel Walker] said. ... There is no evidence that Walker ever supervised or started hospitals or medical centers."
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.
CNN employee David Urban lobbied for Norfolk Southern for over a decade. He and his then-firm took over $1 million in fees. CNN never disclosed that or challenged him about his work when he talked about East Palestine yesterday.
The AP just reported that military documents show Ohio House nominee J.R. "Majewski never deployed to Afghanistan" ().
Here he is in a tweet claiming he'd "gladly suit up and go back to Afghanistan tonight."
GOP-backed QAnon House candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene is also a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.
In previously unreported remarks, Greene claimed that "it's odd there's never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon." (In reality, there is evidence.)
Marjorie Taylor Greene visited the Capitol in 2019 and falsely claimed that Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are illegitimate House members because they swore in on the Quran. She also unsuccessfully tried to get them to retake their oaths on the Bible.

Robert LaMay, the anti-vaccine state trooper who recently died of COVID, was praised as "a celebrity" by Fox's Laura Ingraham on 10/19/21. She also said she "hoped" they'd awoken "a sleeping giant." (LaMay also used that term previously in the interview.)
Remember that Washington State cop who became a right wing hero and was lionized on Fox when he taped himself telling the gov to “kiss my ass” and resigned instead of getting vaccinated? He just died of Covid.
Paul Gosar yesterday directed readers to "USSA News," a fringe site that's posted content calling the Holocaust "the Holohoax" and asking readers to "Stand up for Hitler."
Gosar promoted a different Hitler-praising and Holocaust-denying site in April.
Carl Paladino, whose House bid is backed by third-ranked House GOPer Elise Stefanik, said on radio last year that Hitler is "the kind of leader we need today. We need somebody inspirational. We need somebody that is a doer, has been there and done it.”
While she won't win, a lot of Republican voters still voted for Laura Loomer who, among other many things, called herself a “proud Islamophobe,” stated she's "pro-white nationalism," and said she wanted "more" migrant deaths.
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.
Trump Fed pick Herman Cain sent this April 4 sponsored email, which suggested that readers could "turn $1,000 into $800,000" using a certain "moneymaking strategy."
Yesterday, Rep. Paul Gosar used his newsletter to promote an article on a pro-Hitler and Holocaust-denying site after it praised him for attacking “Jewish warmongers.”
An X account that's drawn millions of views for posts that lionize Hitler and deny the Holocaust said it’s been paid $3K this year by X.
We found numerous ads on the account (which has nearly 100K followers), including for BetMGM, DraftKings, and FanDuel.
Found footage (h/t my mom): Then-CNN host Tucker Carlson gets mad at a soon-to-be GW student (me) in 2002 for asking if conservatives hurt themselves by associating with people who push bigotry and racism like Ann Coulter, saying the line of questioning is "beneath contempt."
Actor Jim Caviezel appeared at a right-wing COVID conspiracy theorist conference yesterday and promoted the QAnon blood-harvesting conspiracy theory () about "the adrenochroming of children." (clip 1/2)

RFK Jr.'s super PAC has been paying thousands to a fringe outlet that warns readers about the purported threat of “Black and brown invaders" with a "primitive culture"; urges followers to arm themselves against trans people; and calls the 2020 "stolen."
Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed on the House floor today that she "never once said during my entire campaign, ‘QAnon.’" Candidate Greene posted a long October 2, 2020, video in which she criticized the House resolution condemning QAnon ().
In newly surfaced remarks, Doug Mastriano in 2020 approached armed men next to a truck with a Confederate flag and thanked them for supposedly defending a Robert E. Lee statue at Gettysburg: “Friends, thanks for being here ... Thanks for being vigilant.”

Doug Mastriano consultant and Gab CEO Andrew Torba made yet another video attacking Jews, claiming that people are “done” with them and they won’t be “told what we're allowed to do in our own country by a 2% minority.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s group Children's Health Defense has been using the far-right platform Gab to do outreach. A review of the account found that the group messaged an open neo-Nazi, along with white supremacists, antisemites, and QAnon supporters.
Laura Loomer says that she's a "proud Islamophobe," said that she doesn't "care" about the 2019 anti-Muslim mass shooting in Christchurch, and has stated that she's in favor of "more" migrant deaths.
The Florida GOP is backing her congressional campaign:
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.”
In early 2019, conspiracy theorists claimed that Ruth Bader Ginsburg didn't appear at an airport and was actually replaced by a body double.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose GOP colleagues have given her committee assignments, was one of those people.
Greene also said that she wanted to tell Reps. Omar and Tlaib that they "really should go back to the Middle East if they support Sharia." In addition to her remark being bigoted, it's also ignorant: Omar was born in Somalia while Tlaib was born in Michigan.
Ads for companies like the WSJ, Nokia, FanDuel, and Thermo Fisher are appearing on the Twitter accounts of Holocaust deniers. Those accounts are subscribed to Twitter Blue, meaning Elon Musk is getting money from both their ads and subscriptions.

In another recently discovered FB post, Marjorie Taylor Greene penned a conspiracy theory claiming that a space laser started the deadly 2018 Camp Fire in California.
There's a lot of things that are pretty bad about this (see thread), but Lara Trump is also actively considering a run for Senate in North Carolina. So Fox News is basically paying a potential candidate to further increase her visibility.
Fox hired Lara Trump
Ainsley: Let's bring in Lara Trump, fmr senior advisor for the Trump campaign, and we have a big announcement, she is a new Fox News contributor. Welcome to the family, Lara.

Trump is undergoing a TV "medical examination" by Fox News' Marc Siegel, who "has repeatedly pushed the unproven drug hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 cure in Fox News interviews, and in March falsely claimed the disease was no worse than the common flu."
I reviewed GOP House candidate and scheduled convention speaker Burgess Owens' book Why I Stand and found numerous instances of plagiarism. At one point, Owens plagiarized a source for eight consecutive paragraphs.
