Repugs are getting crazier

David Corn:

....Violent rhetoric has become de rigueur in Republican circles. Certainly, Trump has made this common for the GOP. Not long ago he vowed to pardon the January 6 rioters should he return to the White House—essentially a sign of support for violent seditionists. 

Bannon has called for beheading Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray. Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose influence in the House GOP caucus is growing, joked about armed insurrection.

Even as Trump becomes more of a ridiculous caricature of himself—buy my NFT trading cards!—extremism is not abating in the Grand Old Party. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is pandering to anti-vaxxers. 

House Republicans are planning a barrage of impeachments, as well as hearings to advance conspiracy theories about Biden, the Deep State, the media, the FBI, public health officials, and who knows what else. 

Defeated Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake seems to have taken up residence at Mar-a-Lago to promote the latest iteration of the Big Lie (claiming she is doing God’s work)....

In a tweet, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) endorsed Trump’s call for the “termination” of the US Constitution (before he deleted the tweet). 

And nothing breaks the party’s slavish devotion to Trump—not tax fraud, not stolen documents, not embracing QAnon, not supping with a white nationalist and an antisemite....
