speaking of the violent left...

[Francee89]

Outside of losing my mother and a brother in a three week period, there's nothing wrong with me. Let the crazies battle it out with each other.

I’m sorry for your losses.

Why is the Metropolitan Republican Club hosting a far-right group of “crazies”?

Because they are extremists. I'm capable of admitting it, yet you have trouble calling out the extremists on the left. I suspect because you are one.

The Metropolitan Republican Club is hosting far-right crazies because the Republicans are extremists? Interesting. Will you still vote for Republicans if they’re extremists?

I don’t have any problem calling out left-wing extremists. The personal attack out of nowhere is interesting and telling though.

[TheQueenOfEverything]

really? have you seen me approve of a vicious assault like you just did here? i don’t think so. in fact i think you would be hard pressed to find many examples of progressives acting like this. i think the best you’ll do is a few stories about some antagonistic asshole getting their MAGA hat snatched. maybe an odd nazi getting sucker punched. but certainly not mobs of people teaming up to kick people huddled on the ground or bragging about smashing someone’s head in the pavement; those are mostly right wing behaviors. meanwhile i could easily find a lot of examples of violent conservatives physically assaulting people.

yes, they become violent when right wing loons start assaulting protestors or driving their cars into crowds of people, because right wing extremists are violent & dangerous. that’s what i was saying.

The protests we are seeing are becoming violent.

So are left wing extremists. But you apparently side with them.

Interesting that you had that take on her comment. I took it to mean that the Metropolitan Republican Club was extremists, not the whole party.

You asked why the MRC was hosting the group, not why the GOP was hosting the group, no?

The Metropolitan Republican Club is just a meeting place for Republicans in New York. They’re not an offshoot group of the GOP with different views, they’re a clubhouse for Republicans.

They’ve hosted plenty of Republican politicians and conservative figures - Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Mike Lee, Lindsey Graham, Ann Coulter, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and more:

Nice try at what? You said “because they are extremists” in response to me asking “why is the Metropolitan Republican Club hosting a far-right group of “crazies?”?

The MRC is a gathering place for New York Republicans, who have hosted GOP elected officials and well known conservative figures. If they’re extremists, why are people like Ted Cruz and Jeanine Pirro going? And if they’re not, why are they comfortable inviting and associating Republicans with far-right crazies?

[DSamuels]

I did not know the MRC was just basically a room, building maybe, owned by republicans. I would guess then that any group that is republican could probably reserve it for a meeting or gathering, yes? Most places like that have to say yes to any request or risk being charged with discrimination.

I agree with Carpy, nice try at claiming all republicans are tainted by some.

Nope. They’re a private club and political beliefs aren’t a protected class in New York: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/cchr/law/the-law.page.

There’d be no risk of a lawsuit in turning them down, and they clearly didn’t book them under duress, since they were promoting having McInnes as a speaker on their Facebook page.

So, if the MRC aren’t the extremists Carpy was referring to, who are? If the MRC are extremists, why do Republican politicians and conservative figures associate with them? And why shouldn’t all Republicans be tainted by some when the President and conservative media have been trying to paint Democrats as angry, unhinged and violent because of some?

Pushing back against violent protifa. Someone has to do it.

What a horrible excuse to justify violence.

You understand that anti fa was created when alt rightwhite supremacists were increasing in numbers and murdering people. I’m not saying that they can be violent just because others are. But let’s not forget our history.

[Lemons]

those protesters were not violent. but holy shit there is something wrong g with you, besides your raging hypocrisy.

Outside of losing my mother and a brother in a three week period, there's nothing wrong with me. Let the crazies battle it out with each other.

That sucks. I’m really sorry for your loss.
