If you had watched the piece, you would realize that the extremists are exploiting the "if you're on the right, you're welcome" to corrupt your party. He isn't saying that all Reps are extremist, just that the party has not been very choosy on who they let speak for them (like Fuentes...apparently he's a seriously racist a-hole, from what I gathered in his interview with some Faux Noise talking head). In fact, a few Reps are pushing back. Not enough for this election cycle, of course.

Wow. Where to begin. For starters, nobody on the right knows who Fuentes is and he certainly doesn't speak for the party. I for one have never heard this guy say anything.

I hate to break this to you, but this is the exact opposite of what's happening nationwide. The democrats are embracing the extremists. You've got DSA people who are out and out Communists on the ballot all over the place. You've got an overt Islamist poised to win in Michigan.

This guy is such an antisemite all he had to do was disavow an obviously anti-Jewish ad that didn't even come from his campaign and he couldn't even do that. Why? Because he agrees with it. And now that we've had 1 democrat call this out and endorse Mike Rogers...luminaries like James Carville are out there calling her a "used condom". That sounds mainstream, no?

liberals may want to cling to the notion that the GOP is full of extremist monsters but reality tells a far different tale.
