Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's not funny. Unless she's saying that because of the rumor Ben Shapiro is going to take over TPUSA. Then it would be very, very funny.
She's referring to AIPAC. She seems to think Charlie was opening up to allowing other perspectives on the issue of Palestine besides unequivocally supporting Israel before he was shot. Now she's afraid they will take control of tp usa and shut down any debate on the issue.
This isn't unique to her, to MTG.
Of course MTG just actually is an anti-semite, but we also have Candace Owens (I mean, also an anti-semite broadly, but still)... she's saying that basically, Kirk snubbed an offer of a bunch of money from Israeli funders, because he did not want to be that beholden to that kind of positioning, and the right is currently 'having a normal one' arguing about this.
Kirk knew that Israel isn't popular with younger Republicans, that Fuentes types and other right wingers had been attacking him from the right, for being way too supportive of Israel.
I am far from up to speed on any of this, but basically, its way more than just MTG being fucking crazy on her own, this is a thing the whole ....sphere of right wing personalities is ... yeah currently, as in literally right now, elsewhere on the internet/broadcast media... 'having a very normal one' over.
I guess you could call this something like a split between the neocons, and the ~~racists~~ true patriots, basically?
