Local reporter nails it, Santorum blows it, and some serious cases of the Mondays. Plus: Chuck Schumer sings!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) doubled down on her controversial comments comparing Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to the Nazis because of her mask rules for the House, telling a local Arizona reporter that she had said nothing wrong, and “any rational Jewish person” should also oppose “what’s happening with overbearing mask mandates.”
That local reporter, Bianca Buono from Arizona’s 12 News, spoke to Greene after the event she held in Mesa, AZ. with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and asked her if she stood by her comments “comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust.”
“I said nothing wrong," Greene insisted.
Well, the popular consensus is that Greene said a lot that was wrong.
Buono asked Greene fair questions and gave her multiple chances to back away from her offensive comments. Greene chose to keep on digging.

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) is now a former CNN pundit as well, as the network quietly let him go this week, reportedly because he blew his shot at apologizing for comments about Native Americans.
“We birthed a nation from nothing,” Santorum said during a speech to a conservative youth group in April. “I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes, we have Native Americans, but candidly that — there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture.” The backlash was loud and swift, with many calls for CNN to fire him.
Santorum went on Chris Cuomo's show in early May for what was supposed to be a public mea culpa. Instead, viewers got a meandering filibuster of an excuse. During the transition from Cuomo Prime Time to Don Lemon's program, Lemon absolutely erupted about Santorum's "horrible and insulting" comments.
CNN finally had enough and quietly ended Santorum's contract. Read all about it here.
