Replacement theories, hunting RINOs: How GOP candidates, lawmakers push ‘dangerous’ language

WASHINGTON – A number of GOP candidates have spent hundreds of millions on ads this campaign season pushing replacement theories and other racially charged conspiracies, while also targeting fellow Republicans who don’t fall in line with the far-right base.

The Fight Over Truth Also Has a Red State-Blue State Divide

To fight disinformation, California lawmakers are advancing a bill that would force social media companies to divulge their process for removing false, hateful or extremist material from their platforms. Texas lawmakers, by contrast, want to ban the largest of the companies — Facebook, Twitter and YouTube — from removing posts because of political points of view.

In Washington, the state attorney general persuaded a court to fine a nonprofit and its lawyer $28,000 for filing a baseless legal challenge to the 2020 governor’s race. In Alabama, lawmakers want to allow people to seek financial damages from social media platforms that shut down their accounts for having posted false content.

In the absence of significant action on disinformation at the federal level, officials in state after state are taking aim at the sources of disinformation and the platforms that propagate them — only they are doing so from starkly divergent ideological positions. In this deeply polarized era, even the fight for truth breaks along partisan lines.

We are about to embark on something new in this country, which doesn’t look good at all

DOJ details evidence that Oath Keeper brought explosives to D.C. area

Federal prosecutors indicated Friday they intend to present evidence that a member of the Oath Keepers likely carried grenades in an RV that he drove to the Washington, D.C., area ahead of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

In court papers previewing evidence to be presented in the upcoming seditious conspiracy trial of Oath Keepers leaders, the Justice Department said it believes Jeremy Brown, a group member from Florida, likely traveled to Northern Virginia with grenades that were found by investigators in a subsequent search of his vehicle.

Here’s why tapping the US oil reserve has led to America increasing crude exports - and why even more US energy supplies could be shipped overseas

  • Since President Joe Biden tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, US crude supplies have jumped.
  • But refining capacity constraints have limited how much extra oil the US can process.
  • US oil exports from the Gulf Coast are set to climb further from record highs, according to Rystad Energy.

Since President Joe Biden announced the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to try to tame high gasoline prices, the US has sent more crude to other countries.

US supply is expected to hit 13 million barrels per day this summer for the first time since November 2019, according to Rystad Energy. Meanwhile, refining capacity constraints have limited how much extra oil the US can process. Because of earlier shutdowns and limited investment in recent years, capacity has shrunk and refineries have been running nearly at full tilt to meet high demand for gasoline and other fuels.

Oath Keeper had ‘death list’ naming Georgia election officials leading up to Jan. 6 attack, DOJ says

“Co-conspirator Thomas Caldwell possessed a ‘death list’ with the names of Georgia election officials and, later, attempted to have someone build him firearms before January 20, showing Caldwell’s intent to oppose government actors by force to stop the transfer of presidential power,” the court filing said.

What Do Trump’s Cognitive Test Results Show?

President Donald Trump aced a cognitive test designed to detect early signs of dementia, White House physician and Navy Rear Adm. Dr. Ronny Jackson told reporters yesterday (Jan. 16).

Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 points on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA, pronounced “mocha”), which he took in an apparent effort to put to rest questions about his mental abilities, The New York Times reported.

The test itself is fairly straightforward and widely available in PDF form online. The test asks patients to perform various simple cognitive tasks, like memorizing strings of words, identifying pictures of animals and drawing a clock with hands set to particular times.

It has been put on full display that the GOP Right wing is prone to telling lies that have a very negative impact on the country.

Ray Epps, Forced Into Hiding By Tucker Carlson’s Jan. 6 Conspiracy Theories, Breaks Silence: ‘All of This Has Just Been Hell’

Epps has been dragged into the conspiracy theory on numerous occasions by those claiming (without tangible evidence) he was a covert fed who embedded himself in the Capitol mob and incited Trump’s supporters in order to legally entrap them.

For months, Trump, Fox News host Tucker Carlson, and other right-wing figures have pushed the unsubstantiated claim that federal agents secretly incited Trump’s supporters into storming the U.S. Capitol. The conspiracy theory shields Trump from blame for the riot, plus conservatives have claimed that the government is using the riot as a pretext to punish those who support the ex-president.

Epps was caught on video before January 6 as he called for Trump’s supporters to “go into the Capitol.” On the day of the riot, Epps was seen trying to de-escalate the situation, and even though he entered restricted Capitol grounds at the time, he never entered the building itself.

Epps was placed on the FBI’s list of persons of interest in connection with the mob, but he was removed shortly after, he was neither arrested nor charged for his actions, and he swore under oath to the January 6 Committee that he has never been a law enforcement asset. Because he wasn’t arrested, however, the conspiracy remains, and the Times described how Epps feels disillusioned by the right-wing leaders who’ve spread “lies” about him.

“All of this, it’s just been hell,” Epps said

What the shooting in Buffalo has to do with Fox News host Tucker Carlson

The man accused of murdering 10 people in Buffalo and wounding several others intentionally targeted Black people. He was obsessed with a racist belief pushed by white supremacists that shadowy elites are seeking to replace white Americans with immigrants and people of color. This is called replacement theory, and we are going to spend some time examining it and some of the people who embrace it, including prominent Republican politicians and conservative media figures, most notably Fox News star Tucker Carlson. Joining me now, two colleagues, NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro. Welcome to you both.
