  In fairness MTG is too stupid to know what Rothschild meant.
context: Republicans talk out both ends and it smells equally as shitty. >
  
  It's simple really: They only want rules to apply to democrats. >
  
  Wilhoit's law:
  “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." >
  
  its just like everything, they dont actually believe in anything or have any sincerely held beliefs. they dont care about women, until they use them in discussing trans issues. they dont care about children, until they use them in abortion discussions. they dont care about the constitution, until they bring up the 2nd amendment... etc, etc.
  the will just feign outrage over any topic that will get their base worked up but they have no consistency or substance >
  
  The Republican Party is turning into everything they tell their base they're fighting against. What a bunch of bitchy little hypocrites. >

  Every accusation a confession... >
  
  How long is it going to take for people to realize we have a fully formed and functioning neo-Confederacy flush with cash from the oil industry and Christian Nationalists, who are focused on destroying democracy, rolling back civil rights, undermining the rule of law, and turning the US into an authoritarian surveillance state? >
  
  Hastily taking off his makeup, George Santos denied that he was responsible for the space lasers, apparently walking back his "Jew-ish" affiliation. >
  
  Why keep focusing on this silly comment and Paul Gosar's anime video? Marj and Paul Gosar are both on committees and have both spoken at white nationalist conferences. Call it out for real. >
  
  Marj was at CPAC with a giant banner that read "Yes we're all terrorists." I'm not sure why most people ignored them telling the truth for once. >
  
  Picture of the banner itself, for the curious.
  I remember reading that when it came on C-Span and being blown away by what I was seeing. Truly horrible. >
  
  What.. the… fuck? >
  
  It was satirical, but still... >
  
  Satire requires both intelligence and a sense of humor. Republicans don't do satire very well. >
  
  We are on a steady train towards fascism. If you stand silent while books are banned, LGBTQ are hated, and black women are barred from House committees, then you are the problem. >
  
  Nobody actually believes any of the GOP bullshit "reasoning". Republican politicians are posturing for power, the base sees it like entertainment, just another an episode of WWE. >
  
  Nobody as in nobody rational. There's a major swath of americans that completely believe everything and anything the republicans and republican controlled media tells them to. >
  
  AOC seems unaware of the GQP-KKK approved list of antisemitic tropes. Anything Jewish remotely related to Christian End Times is sacrosanct. Anything else remotely Jewish is fair game for criticism to calumny. >
  
  GOP, anti-semitic, but somehow pro-Zionist. >
  
  Zionism is perceived at hastening Armageddon. >
  
  Takes a pretty sick death cult to want Armageddon. >
  
  Isnt that most death cults? >
  
  Healthy death cults want to die from a marijuana overdose. >
  
  I’ll smoke myself to death, or die trying! >
  
  Preach, brother. >
  
  If Anti Semitism is the test every QAnon adherent in congress should be kicked off every committee. >
  
  I want to see Republicans’ response to this 1-minute speech by AOC that was 10x more inspiring than anything Kevin McCarthy has said in his tenure. >
  
  They used to conflate criticism of Israel with hatred of Jews and call both anti-Semitism. Now they've taken the next step: criticism of Israel is called anti-Semitism, while hatred of Jews is not. >
  
  Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes. >
  
  I mean, no one will ever accuse republicans of being logical but it’s insulting that they pretend that there’s logic behind their actions. 
  Like anyone with half a brain can see that the antisemitic party doesn’t care about condemning antisemitism but we’re supposed to believe that’s the case because they say so, despite dumbass Marg consistently rises in their ranks. Good on AOC for calling them out but since republican voters have less than half a brain, what’s clear to everyone else doesn’t really matter to them. >
  
  Never forget or minimize the fact that when MTG brought up Jewish space lasers she was saying that there is a Jewish conspiracy TO ASSASSINATE SANTA CLAUS.
  I feel like not enough emphasis makes it past the first half of the statement. >
  
  But is Omar really antisemitic? Yes she did make negative comments against the Israeli government and some of their terrible actions throughout the years.  But I think most of what she said is quite fair.  She condemned the actions of many groups and governments. 
  I'm against a lot of the actions that the US , Canadian and other various governments have committed over their history, does not mean I hate the whole race. 
  Could she have chosen her words more carefully, probably. 
  But when you compare what she says in contrast to the right, I would say it is pretty mild. 
  I think an important question to ask is, is she making a difference in her role? This is how everyone in government should be judged, but sadly we just look at the R our the D, the right vs the left and ignore all else.
  Edit to clarify government >
  
  I would (unless missed something) change that she didn't make negative comments against the Jewish government.  She made comments against the Israeli government who happen to be Jewish.  Huge difference. Greene I think blamed COVID on jewish space lasers or some stupidity. >
  
  I think it was fires. >
  
  Right causing forest fires.  You never know with the crazy coming out of them. >
  
  She's not wrong. >
  
  Democrats never realize that GOP hypocrisy and crazy culture wars are theatrical strategy - a bait and switch tactic to rile their neck beard constituents while simultaneously grifting them. >
  
  Obviously it’s bullshit. But to understand this logic you have to agree the GQP sees every issue as an isolated one. Patterns be ignored unless helpful to their opinions >
  
  It's easier to understand that the only logic they care about is whether or not something gives the rich more power or hurts poor people - as long as it serves either interest, it's good, otherwise it's bad. >
  
  I bet they laughed at these comments because they know how riduclous they, Republicans, are. They don't even care. AOC can make all the noise she wants. Republicans are getting exactly what they want so they literally don't give a shit. It's sad really. As long as power and money flows in their direction they'll happily keep taking the hits. >
  
  And they refuse to oust a member who masqueraded as a descendent of Holocaust victims. 
  AOC spitting straight fire once again. >
  
  I think he will be gone shortly. >
  
  The thing is that this wasn't about antisemitic comments.  That was just a convenient excuse to hide their obvious racism.
  They felt it was incredibly irresponsible to have a Muslim on the foreign affairs committee, cuz you know, she's friends with Al Qaeda and ISIS just simply due to her religion and skin color.  They see it as 1+1=2 because they're a bunch of fucking idiots. >
  
  
  Nothing about it being "Jewish", so now I'm wondering why AOC is quoting the Jewish part when that was satirical.
  
  It was spelled out in that article you found:
  
  So why does the trending phrase have the word “Jewish” in front of it? Well, Taylor Greene’s post suggested that the Rothschild banking firm is behind a supposed corporate cabal that engineered this whole space laser plot. Ah, of course, the old Rothschild family explanation again. As Zack Beauchamp wrote for Vox, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the Rothschild family controlling the world have frequently surfaced in the past. Beauchamp explained that this was not “an isolated anti-Semitic incident for Greene.” In fact, the Editorial Board for USA TODAY wrote that “her Facebook account contained racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic views,” which doesn’t sound very nice. Beauchamp stated that Taylor Greene’s “space laser” theory is “the latest in a long line of conspiracies about the Rothschild family, and those conspiracies are always, at root, anti-Semitic: Since the 19th century, people have used claims that this one particular wealthy family controls the world to cast aspersions on Jews in general.” >
  
  Legit question: Why did any Dems at all vote for this? >
  
  
  Why did any Dems at all vote for this?
  
  No Democrats voted for this, according to the article. >
  
  Based. Israel fucking sucks. They're a proto-fascist state >
  
  Majority of Democrats also voted to oust her. >
  
  She’s just house floor eye candy. >
  
  Fair comment. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez unloaded on Republicans for hypocrisy Thursday while defending her fellow "Squad" member, Rep. Ilhan Omar.
  Republicans voted to remove Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee because of her controversial comments in the past about Israel.
  The House voted along party lines to remove Omar from the foreign affairs committee, except for Republican Rep. Dave Joyce of Ohio, who voted "Present."

  Republicans are a hate group.  People gotta start calling it out, none of this tap dancing around it.  Just...say...it.  They are a party that supports racism and bigotry and white superiority. >
  
  This just in: everything the Republicans say is random nonsense to emptily advance what they want to do. There is no substance and they don’t give a shit if they get “called out” on it because getting called out results in literally zero consequences. Zero. >

  How about neither of them get committee assignments?  I'd be perfectly happy with that! >
  
  AOC is misinformed here. MTG is nutty, but didn't actually say "Jewish space lasers". >
  
  You're right, she used the Rothschild dog whistle when talking about a cabal that created lasers to start fire to help PG&E avoid financial issues.
  That really doesn't sound any better.
