MAGA influencers are battling with each other over foreign donations from those who support the Iran war.
The Bulwark's Sam Stein and Will Sommer took a dive into the influencer culture of the right.
"There is rampant suspicion that there is a DOJ investigation into conservative influencers who may be paid by foreign sources to both oppose and/or support the Iran war," Stein explained. "And all of these conservative influencers are salivating over the prospects that their ideological foes within the conservative movement, not like liberals within the conservative movement, may soon be arrested."
Sommer thinks that this investigation isn't likely to exist.
All of it stems from a tweet from someone calling themselves "Zero Hour" that Sommer said is a "shady character" he's dealt with in the past. When the account posted it, the right-wing pounced.
"They imagined their foes, whether it be, you know, pro-Israel, pro-Iran war against Iran, war against Israel. They imagine them in shackles," Sommer said.
The Justice Department hasn't given a statement confirming or denying the existence of a probe.
Still, it prompted Sommer to crack a joke about whether "CatTurd" would be arrested.
What Stein found amusing was that conservatives were excited that others on their team might be arrested as opposed to someone on the left being targeted.
"We're past the point where they want to lock up Hillary Clinton, they now want to see their own MAGA influencers locked up over this war," said Stein.
Sommer said it's a sign about just "how bad things have gotten in the MAGA civil war."
Jack Posobiec posted this week on X, "Influencers who take foreign money and don't disclose it should be deported to the country they took the money from."
"So, I mean, these guys are, they're so excited for what, again, to be clear, is the non-existent pundit purge," mocked Sommer.
