The response to the conspiracy theorists and extremists who caused severe division in the last US presidential election is in full swing.

The Canadian government designated Proud Boys, a white supremacist group, as a terrorist group last month, which played a leading role in the invasion of the US Capitol.

They said their extreme tendencies and violent orientation became evident through the Capitol Hill invasion.

The White House also said a general review of violent extremism is underway and awaiting the review.

The US House of Representatives will hold a vote on the 4th local time to evict controversial Republican Congressman Marjorie Taylor Green from all committees assigned to them with speech inciting division and hatred.

Georgia’s first senator, Green, supported far-right group Qurnan, which spreads conspiracy theories, and joined Trump’s allegations of fraudulent elections.

In addition, he believed in the 9/11 conspiracy theory and raised controversy with his remarks that deprecated the victims of high school shootings.

When Senator McConnell condemned him as “a republican cancer,” Green refuted the Republican enemy as “weak men who only know how to be elegant.”
