‘Action-movie’ GOP nominee has own party bracing for ‘absolute destruction’: report
The GOP fears the "absolute destruction" their nominee for a gubernatorial race will cause, a New York Times columnist wrote.
NY Times columnist Michelle Goldberg detailed the concerns of the GOP after self-described "high-risk humanitarian" Victor Marx won his party's nomination for governor last week.
Marx has been in the national spotlight for claiming that he killed a man when he was 7 years old. Goldberg also highlights his series of bizarre and dubious claims, such as that he saved over 40,000 women and girls from sex trafficking, that he can perform exorcisms by phone, and that he has a black belt in "Cajun karate," which was invented by his father, Karl Marx.
Although some of these claims haven't held up under scrutiny, Goldberg wrote, "These discrepancies haven't stopped Marx from building a brand out of action-movie evangelicalism," and winning the GOP nomination for governor to go up against Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser in November.
However, the Colorado GOP is worried about his nomination, Goldberg noted, not because it has its sights set on the governorship but because of how it will affect down-ballot races.
"Marx's close victory in a three-way primary has some Colorado Republicans despairing," Goldberg wrote. "Given how blue the state has become, the GOP never had much hope of winning the governorship, but Republicans told me that having Marx at the top of the ticket could put some statehouse and congressional races in danger."
Darcy Schoening, a top Colorado GOP party staffer who runs an anti-Marx website, told Goldberg that Marx is "going to do absolute destruction to all the candidates down ballot," and that his campaign has divided the state's right wing.
"The elevation of Marx is, in part, a story about the right-wing revolution eating its own," Goldberg wrote. "Marx demonstrates what can happen when voters, feeling apocalyptic, disdain concerns about expertise and electability and let themselves be guided by their id."
Mainers stunned as ‘horrific’ ICE killing ripples through community: ‘It’s just surreal’
Maine residents told CNN they were outraged on Tuesday after ICE agents fatally shot a 26-year-old father in a car.
Joan Sebastian Durán Guerrero, who was authorized to work in the United States, was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday. Community members were upset by the fatal shooting and showed support for Guerrero and his family, said CNN correspondent Jason Carroll.
"You always knew it was a possibility here because there's been a heavy presence since January, and especially in this area in Biddeford. And when you hear about this, it's just surreal," one resident told CNN.
"This could be happening to any one of us, any one of us. He's a 26-year-old with a child. He has a legitimate reason for being here. He had social security. It's horrific," another local told CNN.
The Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General will be leading the investigation into the fatal shooting, along with the FBI and Maine Attorney General's Office, Carroll reported.
"Those whom we have told about who will be heading up the investigation still have a great deal of distrust against the federal government, given all that has happened," he added. "They have a lot of questions that they're hoping will be answered in this investigation, namely, why was there the use of deadly force? That's for a second. Why were the officers not using body-worn cameras? And why was this man targeted?"

Katie Miller lashes out at CNN producer over photo of Trump’s Krazy Glue
Katie Miller, podcaster and wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, lashed out at CNN after a producer.
The incident came after DJ Judd, a White House producer for CNN, spotted a stick of Krazy Glue on President Donald Trump's Resolute Desk during a Monday evening Oval Office appearance, reports The Daily Beast.
Judd photographed the super glue and shared images on X, sparking a reaction from Katie.
"The important news you can expect from CNN," she posted.
The discovery supports claims found in the new book "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, which alleges Trump glues gaudy gilt decorations throughout the Oval Office, including cheap appliqués to the marble fireplace mantel.
Katie dismissed Judd's photos as unimportant news.
The book also details Stephen Miller threatening to fire ICE and Homeland Security leadership in late February for not deporting migrants quickly enough, reflecting a pattern of abusive outbursts.
