1)Ted Cruz
2)Ali Alexander
3)CJ Pearson.
The first two you are aware of but let me give you a brief overview to give some context.
But what you might not have known is that the person standing next to Ali Alexander on stage with Sidney Powell & Lin Wood is a young republican by the name of:
CJ Pearson
But we'll get back to him soon.
Cruz was one of the leading & most influential figures responsible for the Jan 6th insurrection.
I wonāt go too deep into Cruz as we generally know his story. But @donwinslow does a good job of representing his role.
Alexander actually got his beginnings in 2007-2008 during the Tea Party movement to which he claims he co-founded.
In 2008 he worked on John McCainās presidential campaign
- In the late 2000s to early 2010s he was a massive conservative blogger
- He was bankrolled by Robert Mercer.
-Around 2016 he changed his name to Ali Alexander and supported Trump.
In fact, here's a video of him and Andrew Breitnbreit from 2012.
Try and say you don't know Ali Alexander now Ted.
CJ Pearson started as a 12-year-old conservative activist on YouTube critical of Obama.
Now I donāt think what a kid does or believes in when theyāre 12 should define them but I need to set the scene for what's to come.
Try to deny knowing CJ Pearson, Ted.
āHeās a racist and a bigot; he wants to build a wall, heās a Neanderthal.ā - CJ Pearson
(he briefly supported Bernie sanders ā once again, I donāt fault a kid for political affiliations)

All the challenges to Leader Pelosi are coming from her right, in an apparent effort to make the party even more conservative and bent toward corporate interests.
Hard pass. So long as Leader Pelosi remains the most progressive candidate for Speaker, she can count on my support.
I agree that our party should, and must, evolve our leadership.
But changed leadership should reflect an actual, evolved mission; namely, an increased commitment to the middle + working class electorate that put us here.
Otherwise itās a just new figure with the same problems.
I hope that we can move swiftly to conclude this discussion about party positions, so that we can spend more time discussing party priorities: voting rights, healthcare, wages, climate change, housing, cannabis legalization, good jobs, etc.

The strange thing about the fight to displace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House is that no one seems willing to run against her. https://t.co/VhBqf4KJom
