Independent conservative candidate calls Melania a "hoebag" prostitute

An Oregon man running an “independent conservative” bid for Congress is doubling down on his salacious attacks on First Lady Melania Trump.

Mark Roberts is challenging Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) in the state’s sprawling second congressional district, which prognosticators say is a safely Republican seat.

During a Monday conversation on Twitter about the size of the East Wing staff, Roberts seemed to suggest that the First Lady was a “hoebag” prostitute.

"Progressive conservatism" is an ideology that tries to unite conservative and progressive ideas.

To deal with poverty, the ideology supports the idea of a social safety net.
It also supports a limited redistribution of wealth.
Progressive conservatism - Wikipedia
---------
"Conservative or right-wing socialism" is a term used by some right-wing movements and politicians to describe support for social solidarity as opposed to individualism, commercialism, and laissez-faire economics.

The term is also used, more commonly but distinctly, to refer to moderate, social democratic forms of socialism when contrasted with Marxism–Leninism and other more radical left-wing alternatives

They're beginning to all sound the same..
