    I clearly don’t think it is a stretch to say they have many compatible viewpoints, but I was opening this article expecting to see some kind of direct dealing between the two, not that the two hired the same web developer. This article is a bit sensationalist when there are plenty of legitimate reasons to hate both individuals.

      Yeah thats why America should fuck up marketing and marketed politics instead of wasting time on trivial bandaid social fixes that are bullshit in disguise.

    I think they buried the lede:

    Ms Taylor Greene also hired far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos as a congressional intern, who briefly worked for West’s presidential campaign.

    While I have no doubt she’s a white nationalist, hired the same graphic designer, wasn’t quite what I expected based off the headline 😌

      They’ve both been on infowars multiple times, but some legitimate people do get on that show by accident too. Like Story Musgrave and Dr Dean Edell.

    In February 2022, Ms Taylor Greene addressed a group of far-right figures at an America First Political Action Conference organised by Mr Fuentes.

    After a backlash, she claimed not to know who Mr Fuentes was despite him being one of the US’s most well-known white nationalists.

    She later denounced Mr Fuentes “and his racist anti-semitic ideology”.

    Ok, Mrs. Jewish Space Lasers. Ok, Mrs. “Omar and Tlaib need to go back to the Middle East”.

    If you had been listening to any anti-fascist group they could of told you this. It’s honestly not that big of a secret.

    Both of these people suck. But downvoting because the article doesn’t really feel like political news? Seems very sensationalized.

    She’s enough of a chode that the Guardian shouldn’t have to resort to trash clickbait about how she hired the same web designer, jfc…
