He's defending them because he agrees with them. He knows 20-40 year olds are not "kids who made a mistake". He's playing it down because he sees nothing wrong with what they said.

He still had this up *after* the story about the Young Republicans group chat with the Hitler praise was released.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

Breaking: Capitol Police have been called after a Republican congressional office was just caught displaying a swastika.

This comes one day after group chat messages were leaked of young GOP officials saying “I love Hitler” and calling to put Democrats in “gas chambers.”

A devastating flood tore through Kipnuk; five months earlier, federal funding meant to help the village withstand disasters was abruptly cut. Lee Zeldin revoked the grant, citing a new push to eliminate what he called “wasteful DEI grants.”

Have you noticed Republicans are so confident and comfortable, almost as if they realize they're not giving up power no matter what?

That’s correct! I use Evah Pirazzi “slap” strings and play mostly rockabilly slap style/pizz. The strings are great but every little bit helps to deaden them a bit and make them more “gut-like” even though they have a steel wrap.

I have an actual strip from a car tire woven into the after length on both my uprights. I joke that it’s so I remember that they’re only inflatable to a max PSI of 44 😏

Here is the Vice President defending adults who said they love Hitler, want to rape their enemies, put their political opponents in gas chambers, and that Black people are monkeys. Just to name a few.

Are these those Christian values JD Vance talks about?

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

Twitter account: Uncensored @HmanQuotes1945: Official border patrol Facebook page is posting with the banned lyrics of Michael Jackson's song.
