Shortly before bringing up MTG, the camera showed a sizeable and raucous crowd. Fuentes praised "our secret sauce...young white men." Fuentes then solicited a round of applause for Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, and the groyper crowd chanted "Putin, Putin." pic.twitter.com/I8BGH1TYGm

A speaker at the white nationalist event where Marjorie Taylor Greene just appeared opened his remarks by calling @CPAC "QueerPac" and "FudgePac." The previous speaker made homophobic comments as well

That’s Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes welcoming Greene (R-GA) to the podium. She can’t pretend she didn’t know who Fuentes was. https://t.co/x0YiydHkls

After hosting Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nick Fuentes condemns the media for comparing Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler, "as if that isn't a good thing."

Longtime white nationalist leader Vince James lauding the "historic American nation" and the "founding stock" of the country-- common white nationalist buzzwords for white people. The groyper chat room erupts with cheers of "White Lives Matter". MTG and Gosar are in the audience pic.twitter.com/QkBwhcpUuc

A moment later in his speech Vince James again laid out the central tenet of White nationalism- "they want to replace you...Western white culture is the majority culture, to which even non-whites assimilate into today- and they're better off for it" pic.twitter.com/vuYerGcT6y

Andrew Torba, CEO of hard-right alt-tech platform Gab (where the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter made his final post), again attacks Israel from the Right, & the groyper chat applauds the antisemitism. Later he celebrates Jesus for "rebuking the synagogue of Satan" pic.twitter.com/YiANkz8bkI

Peterson is apparently a minister who has "thanked God for slavery", and has associated for decades with white nationalists and reactionary black nationalists like Louis Farrakhan https://t.co/aLUHa4Nk23

Excellent. This is what these people deserve. Every bit of it. She was the keynote speaker at a Nazi rally last night. Today she is the darling of CPAC. Make her and everyone there own it. Speaking appearances have consequences. https://t.co/o9sdHzlGCj

Marge Greene now claims that when she went as the headline speaker to the Nazi rally last night, she didn’t know what they were about, didn’t know anything about their leader who invited and introduced her, and just went because she cares about young people. pic.twitter.com/9p3ZIhcvu9

How did Marjorie Taylor Greene know many of the AFPAC attendees had been “canceled” off social media if she had no clue this was a white nationalist conference? pic.twitter.com/cHpzkCfqax

A reminder, Marjorie Greene (R-GA) attempted to form the “America First Caucus” with Paul Gosar (R-AZ) last April. Gosar was also working closely with Nick Fuentes at the time, including collaborating on “America First” branding materials with Fuentes.https://t.co/zr9I9PkZ2q pic.twitter.com/JJWDBrZB7Y

Far-right radio host and AFPAC speaker Stew Peters tells The Daily Beast: "It is unsurprising to see liar and fraud Marjorie Taylor Greene so quickly stab Nick Fuentes in the stomach mere hours after pretending to fawn all over his fast-growing movement."

Marjorie Taylor Green should be beat into the ground and thrown into jail for inciting violence against trans people. https://t.co/7GtLA5vmGA

If Democrats in Congress don't take action against Greene, and if we in the media don't hold Kevin McCarthy to account for this far-right caucus member of his, then we are all complicit in the mainstreaming of white supremacy, antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and more. https://t.co/lfQxlKYDLp
