Yes, Republicans think you are that stupid.
A conservative media host held South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's feet to the fire for claiming she had faced down North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The Republican governor falsely claimed in her memoir to have met the reclusive Kim during her time in Congress, and she told reporters over the weekend the passage should have been removed from the book.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) revealed Tuesday that Republicans are plotting to get even with her over her effort to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
During an interview with right-wing podcaster Steve Bannon, Greene said she had made demands to Johnson that would stop her from filing a so-called "motion to vacate" — if he "obeyed."
Her demands included no funding for Ukraine and a halt to all federal prosecutions of former President Donald Trump.
"There is no middle ground," she said. "There is no compromise."
Greene went on to explain how Republicans now aim to get revenge on her for causing chaos in the U.S. House of Representatives.
"It's far nastier," she said of Republican attacks. "You wouldn't believe what's being talked about. 'Oh, we're going to get back at her. She's going to lose committee assignments next Congress. She'll get primaried. We're going to come after her. This is going to be nasty.'"
The lawmaker also complained that Republicans were trying to "divide" her from Trump because the former president supports Johnson.
"That's the chitter-chatter going on in the inner circles that is trying to divide me away from President Trump," she remarked. "But everybody right now is trying to pretend like there's a problem between us."
"And I'm going to tell you right now, there is not," Greene added. "I'm just not someone that runs around and talks about my conversations with him."

Republican promotes Nazi 'great replacement theory' in briefing on rising anti-semitism
The House Oversight and Reform Committee held a Tuesday briefing discussing the increase in antisemitic attacks on Americans on college campuses — and Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) used it as the moment to promote the fringe conspiracy of the "Great Replacement Theory."
According to an excerpt of the transcript posted by The Forward's political reporter, Jacob N. Kornbluh, the meeting was held behind closed doors.
"When [Jamie] Raskin, when my colleague from Maryland talks about 'White Replacement Theory' — 'Replacement Theory' is real," complained Perry.
"They added 'white' to it to stop everybody from talking about it," Perry continued, without elaborating on who he was referring to.
"But bringing people into the country — I think most people on the right are happy to accept people that are here legally, including me, as my ancestors immigrated legally to become Americans," he said.
"But what's happening now is we're importing people into the country that want to be in America, be in America, but have no interest in being Americans, and that's very different. And to disparage the comments is to chill the conversation so that we can continue to bring in more people ... that are un-American," Perry also said.
Perry is known for using Nazi analogies in speeches. According to comments he made at the Republican Leadership Conference in June 2021, Democrats are a lot like Nazis.
“We can acknowledge that maybe not every one of them is that way, but that doesn't matter,” Perry said.
