They are nuts; also dangerous. Hard to believe some go on record here like the surgeon who is quoted near the end. Google is forever.

A woman in mink and diamonds steps out of a car on Park Avenue. She struts, coiffure held high, past protesters clutching signs about Rudolph Giuliani and Joseph Goebbels. She demands of the doorman, “Can’t we have these feminazis arrested or something?” It’s Saturday night on the Upper East Side.

She’s just arrived at the New York Young Republican Club’s 109th annual gala. Inside the ballroom, by the bar and beneath the chandeliers, one youngish Republican tells another: “I just bought my third AR-15!” A couple Newsmax sleveens slip past. Everyone recites the Pledge of Allegiance. Dating back to the days of William Howard Taft, it’s a night to get together and hash out the direction of the party, to identify and imbibe with its comers. This year, it’s an unalloyed freak show, and what’s past is prologue: They all want Donald Trump in 2024.

“Of course he’s going to run again,” says his attorney Jenna Ellis, teetering on spiked Louboutin stilettos. She says she just spoke to Trump on Wednesday when they happily discussed the Dobbs case at the Supreme Court that looks primed to gut Roe. She authored memos that were used to try and pressure Mike Pence to overturn the election and is a Young Republican guest of honor tonight. She trashes Ronna McDaniel and Bill Barr for a bit, then I ask her if she realizes most people think she’s batshit crazy. “I don’t care,” she says. “I am always representing the Constitution, the truth of my lord and savior, Jesus Christ, and my client, President Donald Trump.”
Court Appearances

Paul Gosar, who last month became the first member of Congress to be censured in a more than decade, for tweeting out an anime video of him murdering AOC, is up here on the VIP balcony, too. How’s it feel to be censured? “It’s liberating,” he says, smiling, swilling white wine. Gosar, who prominently voted to overturn the election, hopes Trump will run again.

1. They go on record because they don't think anything will happen to them.

They fully expect to remain untouched regardless of what they say or do.

2. Nothing has shown them to be wrong.

3. They are not without basis for thinking that way, I agree.
