Welcome to what is the 1073rd original profile here at “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, where we’ll be discussing Tina Forte, a 2022 Republican candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in New York’s 14th Congressional District looking to be the one who improbably can upset Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for daring to be inspiring to liberals and to actually want to help people with the power she has, because empathy and effective governance are anathema to the GQP right now.
Did we have a typo on the Republican Party acronym? Intentionally, maybe, but we did it for the reason that yes, even in 2022, the Republican Party are running candidates out for Congress who are ardent supporters of the Qanon conspiracy theory because they haven’t learned their godd*mn lesson from sending Marjorie Taylor-Greene to DC to froth at the mouth. Indeed, Tina Forte has expressed her support for the Qanon conspiracy theory repeatedly, including promoting the “Save the Children” campaign that furthered talk of an evil cult of liberals trafficking children and posting multiple times with the Qanon hashtag, made posts where she discussed “The Great Awakening” or “The Deep State” or flat out took selfies of herself in Qanon gear. But of course when the media asks, she’ll lie and claim she doesn’t support Qanon and never has.
This is only the tip of the iceberg from a sordid extremist background she’s running from, considering she was also one of the twits who stormed the Capitol on January 6th where she and her cohorts that day had a side mission to break into the office of AOC, the woman she’s hoping to unseat. Forte was dumb enough to have live-streamed her activities during the insurrection, yet somehow has yet to face criminal charges even though she filmed herself entering restricted areas. She also was pretty clearly there for expected violence, as she chose to wear a bulletproof vest for the occasion under her MAGA gear.
She’s also a big superfan of men in hate groups. While there’s only a few photos of her posing with Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, one is also on the same day he committed a hate crime at a historic black church in Washington, D.C., There are a TON of photos of her posing with multiple felon and Neo-Nazi (pretty comfortable calling that given his “Mein Kampf” tattoo) Carl Ulzheimer all over her social media feed, including the fact that both were together on January 6th when they raised all sorts of hell together on the Capitol grounds.
So, to make everything plainly clear… the Republican Party are not only still running Qanon candidates for Congressional seats, now they’re rolling out insurrectionists who just also happen to be pals with hate group leaders and members and specifically are running them against the same member of Congress they hoped they could lynch on the day of Donald Trump’s failed coup attempt.
The Republican Party are embracing their role in American politics to be an insurgent domestic terror group. Full stop.
