Fox News columnist: Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘an idiot’ trying to ‘wreck the GOP’

A Fox News columnist blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), calling the conservative an “idiot” who is doing damage to the Republican party’s agenda. “It’s high time s…

“It’s high time someone in the Republican Party told Marjorie Taylor Greene to turn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats, and stop trying to defeat her own party,” columnist and Fox contributor Liz Peek wrote on the outlet’s website Wednesday, saying Greene would “rather burn down the House, metaphorically speaking, than work towards the greater good.”

I never thought she was all that bright.

George Santos ends comeback bid for Congress after raising no money

Former U.S. Rep. George Santos says he's dropping his longshot bid to return to Congress, months after he was expelled from the House while facing a slew of federal fraud charges.

Almost makes you feel sorry for the guy. Almost...

Santos was expelled from the House in December following a damaging ethics committee report that determined there was “overwhelming evidence” of lawbreaking and that he “cannot be trusted.” He was just the sixth member expelled by colleagues in the chamber’s history.

The former congressman has pleaded not guilty to federal charges that include deceiving Congress about his wealth, stealing from his campaign and obtaining unemployment benefits he didn’t deserve. He has a trial tentatively scheduled for later this year.

In his post on X, Santos did not rule out seeking office in the future.

“It’s only goodbye for now,” he wrote, “I’ll be back.”

National Enquirer made up the story about Ted Cruz's father and Lee Harvey Oswald, former publisher says

The Texas senator told NBC News that he's "not interested in revisiting ancient history."

The National Enquirer made up a story. I'm just totally shocked.

Pecker said that then-National Enquirer editor-in-chief Dylan Howard and the tabloid's research department got involved, and Pecker indicated that they faked the photo that was the foundation for the story.

“We mashed the photos and the different picture with Lee Harvey Oswald. And mashed the two together. And that’s how that story was prepared — created I would say," Pecker said on the witness stand.

Asked by Steinglass whether Cruz had gained popularity in the presidential race at the time, Pecker said, “I believe so.”
