    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 😌

      Yeah, I don’t think this one fact means anything by itself, but if more connections are found it could amount to … Something?

      I wonder if there’s a pipeline amongst the nationalist of “oh, you need a florist for the wedding that turns a blind eye? Got you. His tats are sick! He wrote 88 in binary as a collar”

      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.

    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.

      I have been told that there is a photo of her at a rally with one of the murderers of Mulegeta Seraw although I have not been able to find it.

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