"MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people." The dispute over what it means to be a MAGA Republican has given the GOP an opening to accuse President Joe Biden of "smearing" half the voters in the country — the roughly 47% of those who voted in 2020 for former President Donald Trump. But this agreement doesn’t apply to the federal coup case, where Powell is an unindicted co-conspirator (Co-conspirator 3, to be precise). Powell attended the infamous December 18, 2020 Oval Office meeting where she and others urged Trump to use the military to seize voting machines, to declare martial law, and to appoint her a special prosecutor in charge of finding election fraud. “It sure is helpful to have someone aligned with the defendant come in and say ‘yeah that’s exactly how it happened,’” former federal prosecutor Barbara McQuade told me.
Trump claims he deliberately confused Nikki Haley and Nancy Pelosi
“I’m toast” — North Carolina Republicans released two proposed congressional maps that they’ll use to gerrymander as many as four House seats out of the evenly-divided state. One would make three current Dem-represented districts impossible for the party to hold, the other would split two Black-represented districts and dilute their voters. Of course, Trump’s federal coup trial should be televised for all the obvious disinformation-fighting, democracy-boosting reasons.
What is a MAGA Republican?
By September 2022, Trump supporters had dropped to 33%, and party supporters had risen to 58%. But most important to this stay-out-of-jail deal is that now Powell, one of the most prolific liars of the post-election MAGA mess, has to tell the truth. She has to testify fully and truthfully wherever else in the Georgia case she’s called. That’s bad news for other co-defendants who were part of the Coffee County computer caper end of the alleged conspiracy. By any conventional standard, those against whom Witt is running are all far-right conservatives, including trucking company owner Mike Collins and former representative Paul Broun, who is hoping to return to Congress after a 2014 loss.
Donald Trump faces Christian rebellion over abortion: "Depraved"
The blood and DNA in question, the defense lawyer said, did not match Morphew’s—but it did correspond with DNA profiles in at least three unsolved sexual-assault cases across the country. "It was my post that got 'retruthed' by the greatest president in the history of America and the greatest friend to the Jewish people and State of Israel. It's all true," Flicker told Newsweek. As for Christian Ziegler, the calls for him to resign as chair of the Florida Republican Party have been deafening, with everyone from DeSantis to the Speaker of the Florida House and the state Senate president, as well as Senator Rick Scott, calling for him to resign. Michael Thompson, the leader of the Lee County Republican Executive Committee, told NBC News he guesses just 2% of party leaders want Ziegler to stay on as chair.
Marjorie Taylor Greene savaged by fellow Republican: "Total waste of time"
His campaign team reviews the candidate’s “declared values, past statements, current policy stances, and electability.” Then a campaign official grills the candidate on immigration, social issues and election integrity — the GOP terminology for preventing what Trump has falsely claimed are rigged elections. If the candidate passes those initial tests, the findings are presented to Cawthorn’s campaign manager. Last month, the duo planned to attend an event for Graham Allen, an Army veteran and conservative podcast host running in South Carolina’s 7th Congressional District against Rep. Tom Rice (R), who voted to impeach Trump. When they had to cancel their appearance to vote against Biden’s infrastructure package, they sent a video message. House seat in Washington state held by another Republican, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, who voted to impeach Trump over his role in the events of Jan. 6 at the Capitol. The defiant far-right acolytes of former president Donald Trump in the House Republican caucus have embarked on a targeted campaign ahead of the midterm elections to expand their ranks — and extend their power — on Capitol Hill.
Broun, 75, is a Trump supporter, but he won’t go quite as far as to say the 2020 election was stolen. Party purity tests in primary elections aren’t new, but the bar has moved sharply since Trump’s election. The RINO — Republican in name only — hunters of a decade ago, like Sen. Patrick J. Toomey (R-Pa.), who forced then-Sen. Arlen Specter to switch parties rather than face him in an unwinnable primary, are now the hunted in a party that has remade itself in Trump’s image.
MAGA rages at Donald Trump potentially missing Barron's graduation
Having a witness who can narrate the illegal conspiracy to overturn the election “is essential to proving the whole scheme and the intent," she said. Powell pleaded guilty yesterday, avoiding both a trial and potential jail time. She copped to six counts of tampering with computer equipment, voting machines and voter data… all misdemeanors. She’ll spend six years on probation, pay some fines, and say “sorry” to the people of Georgia. A key one consists of fellow Republicans angry at how MAGA members engineered McCarthy’s ouster, refused to back Rep. Steve Scalise after he won a conference vote last week, only to have Jordan greenlight an intimidation campaign against them while he lacks the votes.
How a Husband-Wife MAGA Murder Saga Descended Into Chaos
Bureau, tracking the ongoing efforts to undermine the democratic process in America. “I don’t know what a superspreader is in technicality,” Moore added, “But if it means everybody there got COVID, I went to at least a dozen superspreader events and people died at almost all of them. Asked whether Biden is the country’s legitimate president, Hines paused for several seconds. “I don’t have a lot of confidence in current Republican leadership to fight for these ideas,” he said.
Prosecutors last May filed several charges against Morphew, which offered shocking details about how the 53-year-old allegedly planned and covered up Suzanne Morphew’s murder a year earlier, on May 9, 2020. Days after his arrest, the father-of-two was hit with additional charges for allegedly submitting a mail-in ballot on behalf of his missing wife—and casting her vote for Donald Trump. Real Housewives of New Jersey star Siggy Flicker has long supported Donald Trump and told Newsweek "he was the greatest president in the history of America." At a recent visit to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the presidential candidate kept the former Real Housewife of New Jersey star at an arms length. The entire Sarasota County School Board has demanded Bridget Ziegler resign, which she has refused to do, saying this week she was “disappointed” that they asked her to step down. A rape accusation against the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.
Prosecutors produced the separation agreement between the Trump Org. And Weisselberg, who famously refused to cooperate in the company’s criminal tax trial last year. Whether this humiliating turn makes a small but critical number of fed up Republicans begin the process of purging their party of authoritarian Trumpism remains to be seen. This content comes from the latest installment of our weekly Breaking the Vote newsletter out of VICE News’ D.C.
The story also inaccurately reported that Patrick Witt, a congressional candidate, had met with Trump. Leah McSweeney (New York, est 2008) struck me as bad news immediately. When she showed up, she was well-received as this brash cool-girl presence who isn’t afraid to talk about sex or say words like, “pussy.” She also has a (basic and overpriced imho) clothing line. See, RHONY is dominated by older rich white women and ones that had been on cast forever, so the bar was low. The last-minute dismissal was ultimately supported by at least some members of Suzanne’s family, who were called into court virtually to offer their thoughts about the case.

Same-sex sexual encounters involving a woman who has supported Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. They all involve Bridget and Christian Ziegler, the Florida MAGA couple who’ve found themselves in the news a lot lately, and not for anything good. That roughly equal division among Republicans showed up again in a December 2021 CBS News poll. Then, 47% of Republicans said the people who stormed the Capitol were patriots; 53% said they were not. Surveys show that Republican attitudes on the Capitol breach and the battle with law enforcement are divided. But a Monmouth University poll also found that in the past year, Republicans became a little more accepting of the violence that day.
She describes her time at Fox as “wonderful,” and I’m pretty flummoxed by that. She left Fox News when the show she co-anchored, Fox News Specialists, was canceled due to co-anchor Eric Bolling’s sexual harassment allegations, which ended with him leaving the network. Eytan recalled that by this February, her team had filed a motion asking for sanctions against the prosecution and dismissal of the trial—stating that it was the only “just remedy” to justify the level of misconduct. In their own motion, the prosecution insisted the allegations were “utter nonsense” and denied any wrongdoing.
He is running for Congress, he said in an interview, to continue Trump’s fights. Morphew’s defense team repeatedly called out the government, claiming prosecutors purposefully failed to provide them with evidence, or else missed court deadlines. One major piece of information that was deliberately concealed, according to Eytan, was male DNA found on Suzanne’s glovebox. An analysis from senior fellow Elaine Kamarck at the Brookings Institution, a research and policy center in Washington, D.C., found that 96% of Trump-endorsed candidates won their recent primary elections. Those candidates were a select group — only about 12% of all Republican candidates got Trump’s nod. In January 2021, an equal number of Republican voters, 46%, said they supported Trump and the Republican Party.
Trump has taken an active role in selecting candidates, so far doling out dozens of endorsements, and many of the candidates, like Kent, are challenging incumbents in GOP primaries for state and federal positions. For the 2022 House races, Trump has already thrown his support behind more than two dozen Republicans, including five running against Republican incumbents. Kent said he has little interest in fighting with Democrats if he makes it to Congress. Instead, he wants to force Republicans into tough votes, starting with articles of impeachment against President Biden and a full congressional inquiry into the 2020 presidential election, which he says was stolen from Trump.
In other words, the authorities say they are just being thorough and erring on the side of fairness—they want to find a corpse before they bring someone to trial for murder. But conversations with legal experts, Morphew’s lawyers, family members, and those closest to Suzanne suggest that even if the murder saga is far from over, law enforcement has made landing a conviction much harder than it needed to be. On Tuesday, prosecutors abruptly filed a motion to drop the murder charges against Morphew just nine days before he was set to stand trial. In an 11-page motion to dismiss that case without prejudice—meaning charges can be refiled—prosecutors said they believed investigators were close to finding Suzanne’s body, but had been hindered by recent snow.
