Description
Over the weekend, Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Paul Gosar of Arizona spoke at a conference organized by a prominent White nationalist.
Yes, you read that right. Appalling.
The question now is what Republicans will do about it. Or, more specifically, what House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy will do about it.
On Monday night, McCarthy told CNN's Melanie Zanona that it was "appalling and wrong" for Greene and Gosar to speak at an event founded by the far-right activist Nick Fuentes. McCarthy added: "There's no place in our party for any of this. This is unacceptable."
On Tuesday, McCarthy was noncommittal when questioned about Greene. "I understand your job," he told reporters. "I understand what you're trying to do. I've already commented on that."
To which I would say: Yeah, but what are you going to DO about it?
If past is prologue, the answer to that question is likely not much.
