MAGA Rep’s Spectacular Racism Self-Own Immediately Backfires

Tom Williams / Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images)A MAGA congressman’s attempt to defend himself from accusations of racism has spectacularly backfired. “The left has one debate tactic: call you a racist and pray you shut up. I never will,” Texas Rep. Brandon Gill posted on Thursday as a pull quote on X over a brooding profile shot of himself. “Calling us racist doesn’t work anymore,” he added in the caption. None of the irony of Gill’s Thursday post was lost in the comments section. Read more at The Daily Beast.

Republicans Are A Toxic Partisanship Machine

Mainstream journalists and pundits decry toxic partisanship in America without ever recognizing the fact that the Republican Party and its agents treat the generation of toxic partisanship as a primary goal. They wake up every morning, sip their coffee, open their laptops, and think, How can I make my audience hate Democrats and liberals today? Every news story must be recast so that their political enemies are the villains, while they are either victims or heroes. So we had the neo-fascist Patriot Front marching through Washington yesterday, their faces covered by gaiters. Some of them carried Confederate flags. This was embarrassing to Republican commentators, so they agreed on the message that these marchers couldn't possibly be people from their side. Their only disagreement was over which hated group was responsible. I call fake. Looks more like Antifa in costume. No one should be allowed to cover their faces pic.twitter.com/2NoBWHpkKT — Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) July 4, 2026 Feds https://t.co/sOwAPseYPgread more
