Oh, for Pete’s sake, lay off Airman Teixeira. Yes, he did some racism and antisemitism with the group of malleable young men he was influencing.

But he’s a Christian! A good Catholic!

What’s a little racism and antisemitism, after all? He’s a good Christian racist and antisemite! That’s what matters, as Marjorie Taylor Greene has tried to tell us.

Jack Teixeira: The Airman Who Wanted to Give Gamers a Real Taste of War

A group liked online war games. But then Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old National Guard airman, began showing members classified documents, they say.

The New York Times

“One friend described Teixeira in an interview as patriotic, a devout Catholic and a libertarian with an interest in guns and doubts about America’s future. The friend said he met Teixeira...and bonded over their shared interest in Glock handguns and Catholicism."

Just a “basic-brand Catholic who was into guns,” the friend said….

He’s from a military family — and allegedly leaked U.S. secrets

Jack Teixiera, 21, took on an online persona seemingly at odds with his military career, and made racist and antisemitic statements while firing a rifle in a video.

The Washington Post

@wdlindsy "and bonded over their shared interest in Glock handguns and Catholicism"

What does that even look like? - "Hey, how about that Jesus and new GLOCK 47 MOS, eh?"

@hu_logic Excellent. You’ve put your finger right on it.
