Texas MAGA Mouthpiece Rep Keith Self is actively courting the White Nationalism vote in #TX03, where hate crimes abound!

He/Him represents the man arrested/extradited for Islamophobic death threats against NYC mayoral candidate Zohran and has anti-Muslim graphics PINNED to his social media header!

"Good news" for Texas MAGA Mouthpiece Rep Keith Self, Republican cosponsor of HR3411 "Conscience Protection Act 2025", is that there are now TWO FEWER hospitals in Hunt County #TX03 to protect from "discrimination against health care entities that do not participate in abortion."

"Good job" Keith?

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

The fastest I’ve EVER driven was in a 1990 Ford Thunderbird Supercoupe, windows down, radio at “40”, U2 on the radio, in 4th gear and the needle BURIED at 140 MPH with MUCH more to give me!

I got a ticket later that same night on the same road for 84 MPH in a 55 zone — while coasting in Neutral.

WHAT A JOKE!

When asked about his "support for term limits" in July, Nazi-quoting Texas MAGA Mouthpiece Rep Keith Self said they "do not apply to him" and that he'll run for a 3rd term (despite his documented/signed pledges NOT to serve more than two terms in Congress).

#TX03 deservers better!

Imagine you're badly injured, unconscious, alone, and rushed to Level 2 trauma ER in McKinney #TX03.

Your Congressman @RepKeithSelf doesn't believe you should receive care because you MIGHT be an illegal alien.

He'd rather injured people DIE than receive life-saving care!

@LanceASchart @lanceaschart.bsky.social · 5d

How does this legislation square with Texas MAGA Mouthpiece Rep Keith Self taking campaign donations from OTHER dark money PACs from other sanctioned counties, including Iran?

Which is ironic, because Nazi-quoting Texas MAGA Mouthpiece Rep Keith Self spent his entire first term trying to defund NATO and destroy Ukraine...

That's why #TX03 voters call he/him "Kremlin Keith"!

@LanceASchart @lanceaschart.bsky.social · 5d

No. In fact, Texas MAGA Mouthpiece Rep Keith Self #TX03 is merely parroting himself.

He/Him frequently quotes Nazis (and The Bible) to justify his unique brand of Christofascism!
