Psycho Stew Peters ranted that he wants the church to run the states and Jesus to be in charge
"We are the church and we run the state even if they don't believe it," Taylor said.
Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to oust Mike Johnson as Speaker is so laughable that even Fox News has had enough.
"It’s high time someone in the Republican Party told Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to turn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats, and stop trying to defeat her own party," Peek said in her lengthy piece.
