After her Saturday morning panel on the CPAC main stage, Greene made a beeline for the VIP green room, storming away from a handful of reporters (yours truly included) who asked whether the Georgia Republican had any thoughts about Fuentes’s Holocaust denialism. Greene disappeared for a time, only to emerge in full Monday morning quarterback mode.

“I do not know Nick Fuentes. I have never heard him speak. I have never seen a video. I do not know what his views are, so I am not aligned with anything that is controversial,” she said to CBS’s Robert Costa. “I went to his event last night to address his very large following because it’s a very young following and it’s a generation I’m extremely concerned about.”

So either Greene is an idiot, a racist liar, or, as her entire excuse of a career would indicate, both. Greene, who also offered an eleventh-hour condemnation of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, earned a blistering condemnation from the Republican Jewish Coalition. Her secondary attempt to sweep her AFPAC appearance under the rug on Twitter evidently failed to neutralize the blowback, with Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel condemning “white supremacy, neo-Nazism, hate speech, and bigotry” in response.
