if anyone isn't familiar with the Epoch Times, they are a NYC based far right MAGA supporting international "newspaper" with ties to the Falun Gong cult.

they are also frequently cited by republican politicians like Ted Cruz.

here is an article from 2019 that details their growth and political prowess...

Trump, QAnon and an impending judgment day: Behind the Facebook-fueled rise of The Epoch Times

Started almost two decades ago with a stated mission to “provide information to Chinese communities to help immigrants assimilate into American society,” The Epoch Times now wields one of the biggest social media followings of any news outlet.

Well that is about as surprising as the sun coming up in the east today.

It's strange how all these authoritarian regimes that are America's enemies support Trump so much.

Maybe they aren't our enemies at all and simply want to see America made great again, which is awfully nice of them.

It should be obvious to anyone that could rub two brain cells together that some foreign countries (particularly those pushing us all back towards a multipolar/spheres of influence world) would love to have a US that is only inwardly looking and divided. And Republicans are all too happy to take their money and influence because it gets them power.

Just so you know the Epoch Times is as anti Chinese government as you get.

Repugs support and cite the Epoch Times because they desperately need US voters to liken CCP authoritarianism to secular, Democratic rule. It's all about promoting their own christian persecution complex. Ted Cruz's bread and butter.

I keep asking them to show me where the US government has oppressed and imprisoned christians over their beliefs and gatherings; put them in work camps, executed them, harvested their organs, that kind of thing. Still no takers. The christofascist Rs of this country wield enormous political power and influence, where as Falun Gong is basically a political boogeyman that doubles as an organ bank for wealthy Chinese. Yeah, those poor christians in Texas not being able to force the 10 Commandments/prayer in school. It's rough all over, right? heh

Look I don't care who you support. If you break the law you need to face the music. Simple.
