WASHINGTON (AP) — At least three Republicans running for the U.S. House attended the “Stop the Steal” rally on Jan. 6, 2021, and made their way toward the U.S. Capitol during the insurrection to stop Joe Biden’s election.
Countless other House Republican candidates are skeptics and deniers of the 2020 election lost by Donald Trump.
There are veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, small-business owners and the most geographically, racially and culturally diverse group of Republicans seeking House seats in the modern era — many of whom, like Trump in 2016, are political newcomers who have never held elected office.
All told, the House GOP’s Class of 2022 midterm candidates includes a new generation of political outsiders, populists and some extremists who could bring an intensity to Capitol Hill. They would be an untested and potentially unruly majority if Republicans win the House in the Nov. 8 election.
Republicans are increasingly confident they will win control of the House, confronting Democrats on a widening map. The party in the White House traditionally suffers setbacks in the president’s midterm, and Democrats are weighed down by Biden’s lagging approval ratings and voter unease over inflation’s grip on the economy.
In many ways, Republicans are reassembling the Trump coalition with a well-funded but unusual alliance of candidates reflecting his supporters: charismatic Trump-styled media stars, “America First” military veterans, women, minorities and what’s left of the GOP’s traditional conservatives.

What more needs to be said?
If you are a liberal and you feel strongly about an issue, you’re an “activist.” If you are conservative and you feel strongly about an issue you’re an “extremist.”
Quoth Barry Goldwater:
“I would remind you that extremism in defense of liberty is no vice.”
Truer words have never been said.
When the AP says “traditional conservatives”, they’re talking about left-wing Uniparty RINOs.
Gasps of horror from the elites. You mean we don't have to be represented by career politicians who never held a real job?
What about the rabble that calls themselves "the squad". Lord knows they are not extremists in the eyes of the east and left coast liberals. God forbid that the republicans may have some new blood original thinkers looking differently at the same old problems the traditional politicians never seem to solve and probably created anyways.
What really upsets them is they aren’t creations of the media and swamp. Having regular Americans they can’t control, intimidate, or destroy frightens them bigly.
Rather than categorize dems v GOP or liberal v conservative, I choose to classify the candidates as globalist v nationalist. That clarifies a lot to me. Of the two I am most definitely a nationalist.
Sorry Lisa. You’re lying.
RINO season is followed by leftard season.
Yes, a much better way to view it.
I don’t want an empire, and I’m not willing to pay for one.
What I do notice is there doesn’t seem to be any push back on the polls. AP and the Slimes are not running articles claiming the red wave is cresting. If they know it is real maybe their counterparts working the election boxes are not confident they can steal it this time.
Yes and were in fact regarded as traitors to be hung if the war went another way.
My wife’s former state. What ever happened to this bright red state?
These are the candidates the democrats boosted in the primaries and even aired campaign ads for over the choice of the GOP establishment. It’s much like they promoted DJT in 2016 thinking he was the candidate easiest for HRC to beat.
And now, once again, they are complaining as conservatives are cheering and saying, “Hell yeah! Throw us in that brier patch!”
You mean the 4 horses asses of the apocalypse?

Sweet it has a nice ring to it.
Extremists? Yes, I heard that in many ads this election cycle. Ron DeSantis is an extremist according to Suntan Charlie, Anna Paulina Luna is, too and so is Jay Collins (who got his leg blown off in Afghanistan, but went back on another tour). Lies, the only thing Dems got... 🤓
Lisa Mascaro, liar, at it again. The extremists are dimocraps.
