Climbing the outside of a skyscraper as a “pro-life” publicity stunt sponsored by “Dad’s Ultra-Right Beer” sounds like a SRIOTD to me.

In another Republican “oopsie,” Texas politics is being absolutely roiled over news that the head of a very influential conservative PAC met with white supremacist Nick Fuentes. For those unfamiliar, Fuentes has frequently praised Hitler and questioned if the Holocaust happened. He has called for “holy war” against Jews, said he wants the United States under authoritarian, “Catholic Taliban rule” and fantasized about marrying a 16-year-old when he is older because that’s “right when the milk is good." This is the same PAC that rushed to the defense of Ken Paxton in his impeachment trial and promised to target any Republican who supported his impeachment or removal. And they donated $3 million to Lt. Gov Dan Patrick, who oversaw Paxton’s impeachment trial, just before it began. He’s refusing to give it back, but it’s OK because the big money men behind the PAC admitted to him that it was a “blunder.” > **[Dan Patrick says PAC leader’s meeting with white supremacist was a “blunder,”...](https://www.texastribune.org/2023/10/11/jared-patterson-nick-fuentes-defend-texas-liberty-jonathan-stickland/)** > > Two other Republican lawmakers are giving away donations after Nick Fuentes was seen visiting the office building associated with Defend Texas Liberty PAC President Jonathan Stickland.

It was no blunder; I am unfortunately very familiar with Jonathan Stickland. He was the state representative for my hometown and he is an unequivocal piece of shit. My former high school principal ran against him in the primary in one of the elections to try to unseat him; unfortunately, he came up short. ---
