Above Image: h/t The Daily Beast. Wajahat Ali, a columnist for The Daily Beast, writes Republicans Must Answer for ‘Great Replacement Theory’ Violence: Republicans and the conservative media ecosystem have to answer for the blood on their hands.

And they should be held accountable for their role in it.
The Arizona Republic Calls On The Do-Nothing Arizona Senate To Investigate And Expel Sen. Wendy Rogers
Last week, the Arizona Senate approved the Senate Ethics Committee investigating Sen. Wendy Rogers (R-Flagstaff), a white Christian Natonalist and QAnon cult member who has a disturbing history of outlandish and racist comments on social media, for her most recent posting.
