Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Wednesday on MSNBC s All In that in the core of the Republican Caucus in the House of Representatives, there are legitimate white supremacist sympathizers.
Ocasio-Cortez said, I actually sense a profound difference between the Republican Caucus of last term, the 115th Congress, and the Republican Caucus of this term, that we are now, what, a few weeks into at this point. And that difference was that it really felt that last term, the Republican Caucus was one of extreme fealty to Donald Trump.

–House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that more resources will be devoted to Capitol building protection, especially toward the enemy within the House.
–Pro-lifers criticized the New York Times for describing President Joe Biden as the most religiously observant president in 50 years, even though he supports killing unborn babies in abortions without restriction and wants to force taxpayers to fund such deaths.
