It seems like every day there are more and stranger stories of Republicans going off the rails.

Let's compile them here

Alembik was a major GOP donor, giving more than $200,000 to political campaigns over the past 20 years, including thousands to Trump and DeSantis.

In 2018, Alembik was scrutinized for referring to former President Barack Obama with curse words in a tweet.

He also stated that then-Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg “can’t die soon enough.”

In the wake of harsh criticism from both sides of the aisle, Alembik claimed that he was not racist and regretted his comments.

Alembik also donated to then-Florida Gov. Rick Scott and to DeSantis around the time of the tweet. Both politicians then sought to distance themselves from him.

Text from an independent article, link is Newsweek

[quote]An anti-LGBT Republican politician who was allegedly caught having sex with a man in his office is facing more than 30 accusations of sexual misconduct. Wes Goodman, a state legislator for Ohio, has already been forced to resign after a witness to the reported extramarital affair told the Ohio House Chief of Staff. But now Mr Goodman is facing a host of complaints after alleged victims shared screengrabs of conversations with right-leaning news website the Independent Journal Review.

[quote]Mr Goodman, who routinely promotes “family values”, is married to a woman who is an assistant director of an annual abortion rally known as March for Life. According to the IJR, Mr Goodman would regularly contact men, usually aged between 18 and 24 and in the Republican movement, on Facebook Messenger. The conversations frequently turned sexually explicit, with Mr Goodman sending suggestive messages and photos of his genitalia on Snapchat, reports the website. One alleged victim, who wished to remain anonymous, told the IJR he received a friend request from Mr Goodman, who started discussing “various political things” before a two weeks later asking for the man’s Snapchat details.

Noem also killed a male goat that she said was “nasty and mean,” smelled “disgusting, musky, rancid,” and “loved to chase” her children, knocking them down and ruining their clothes. She also killed the goat in the gravel pit, although it reportedly took two shots.

Everything was going fine until Vigano arranged for Kim Davis, a Kentucky clerk at the center of the U.S. gay marriage debate, to be among a small group of people at the Vatican residence to greet Francis.

[quote] After the visit ended, Davis and her lawyers claimed the encounter with Francis amounted to an affirmation of her cause. The Vatican later turned that claim on its head when it released footage of what it said was the “only” private audience Francis had in Washington: with a small group of people that included a gay couple.

The only business that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ruby Bailey Family Service Center, had been dissolved in 2019. Despite this, the Harrises sought more than $450,000 in loans to which they were not entitled. They obtained $357,600 in disaster relief funds from the SBA for three of the businesses. A local bank detected the fraud in August 2020 and secured the funds remaining in the business accounts. After the bank returned the fraudulently obtained funds, Neal and Kelly Harris then submitted additional fraudulent documentation to the SBA, attempting to get these funds back. At sentencing, both defendants were found to have obstructed justice by testifying falsely at the trial.

[quote] A network of ultrawealthy Christian donors is spending nearly $12 million to mobilize Republican-leaning voters and purge more than a million people from the rolls in key swing states, aiming to tilt the 2024 election in favor of former President Donald Trump.

[quote] These previously unreported plans are the work of a group named Ziklag, a little-known charity whose donors have included some of the wealthiest conservative Christian families in the nation, including the billionaire Uihlein family, who made a fortune in office supplies, the Greens, who run Hobby Lobby, and the Wallers, who own the Jockey apparel corporation. Recipients of Ziklag’s largesse include Alliance Defending Freedom, which is the Christian legal group that led the overturning of Roe v. Wade, plus the national pro-Trump group Turning Point USA and a constellation of right-of-center advocacy groups.

[...]

[quote] The group’s stature grew after Trump took office. Vice President Mike Pence appeared at a Ziklag event, as did former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Sen. Ted Cruz, then-Rep. Mark Meadows and other members of Congress. In its private newsletter, Ziklag claims that a coalition of groups it assembled played “a hugely significant role in the selection, hearings and confirmation process” of Amy Coney Barrett for a Supreme Court seat in late 2020.

Jeffress has said that all Jews and Mormons go to hell, that Obama was the precursor to the antichrist, that LGBTQs need rescuing from Satan’s deception, that God designed the borders of the United States, that there will be civil war if Trump is removed from office, and that God gave Trump the moral authority to have foreign leaders assassinated.

In 2020, Trump promoted his online Easter service during lockdown. In July 2021, it was revealed that Jeffress’ megachurch got up to $5 million in bailout funds. In September 2021, Jeffress said that any Christian who votes for Biden has “sold his soul to Satan.”

Mark Eddington, NH Republican running for the state legislature, dropped out of the primary race after admitting his 1989 conviction for murder was "a mistake."

He hasn't been convicted since then which he suggests is a reason to vote for him:

"Osborne told the Bulletin he was pleased but surprised when Edgington told him he was running. He knew the murder conviction would be hard to overcome. Edgington knew that too, he said.

He’d prefer voters consider his long career in radio, the absence of further criminal charges, and his work as a volunteer firefighter.

“The best thing I can do is live my life in the best way I can, to be the best person I can be,” he said. “And to do good things. I’ve been given a chance and I feel I haven’t squandered that chance. I don’t drink anymore. I don’t smoke anymore. I don’t do drugs anymore. I make good decisions and get good outcomes.”

[bold] Asian Americans mobilize after NY lawmaker allegedly bites cop [/bold]

A bloc of Chinese New Yorkers is testing its political influence after City Council Member Susan Zhuang allegedly bit a police officer as she and other Asian Americans protested a planned shelter in Brooklyn.

[quote] Zhuang, a Democrat who caucuses with Republicans, was arrested, charged with assault and pleaded not guilty.

[...]

[quote] Asian Americans — representing national, economic and language diversity — have been shifting to the political right across the country, even if the majority still leans Democratic.

[quote] Asian neighborhoods in New York City, including the stretch of southern Brooklyn that Zhuang represents, boosted Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin in 2022 and GOP mayoral contender Curtis Sliwa the previous year. (Sliwa, a longtime agitator, has been a constant presence at the ongoing anti-shelter demonstration in Zhuang’s district.)

[...]

[quote] “They’re going to vote against Adams, at least a majority of them,” said Kenneth Chiu, a former Republican state Assembly contender who was also arrested. “My people just want to be heard. They understand that they’re not going to get everything they want. But in our culture, respect comes first, and in America, we’re just not seeing that.”

[quote] “I said it was inappropriate to bite a police officer. I was clear on that,” he told reporters recently. “But I’m also clear that she’s always been supportive of law enforcement.”
