The Marjorie Taylor Greene thread.

[Norman Alexander]

Respectfully, many Americans thought the same about Trump. Then he ended up as their President, Head of State, and Commander in Chief. It didn't turn out so well for them.

I appreciate that.

But in a highly conservative country obsessed with and worshiping shallow shows of wealth, he is tall, putatively rich, moderately famous, and probably most relevant of all, male. That he was previously, and is now even more so, clinically insane and entirely unsuitable as a national leader is beside the point.

Meanwhile, MTG is short, relatively poor (i.e. not a billionaire), notorious rather than famous, and unfortunately (unless she can prove otherwise?), female. For many in the GOP, she should stop showing these unseemly displays of aggression and get back in the kitchen. She is a relative newcomer on the notoriety scene as well - no decades of history. The only common point with Diaper Don is probably some cross-eyed insanity, although I don't think she is quite as mad as he is. Perhaps that's a negative for the GOP, though...

In another group I belong to, I had a guy (retired low level State Dept and as racist as they come) proclaim that female politicians should be quieter and more polite than men and defer to men because people don't like "strident women".

Well that was one of Hillary's myriad faults.

Don't forget the Clinton murder list.

There's been an active disinfo industry that's been busy for quite some time.

How could I? Poor Vince Foster. Murdered by those horrible Clintons. Or has it been whittled down to Hillary doing the foul deed with her own bare hands?

Clinton Body Count is a conspiracy theory asserting that former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton have had people assassinated, totaling as many as fifty or more. Many parts of it have been advanced by Newsmax publisher Christopher Ruddy, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, and others. Such accusations have been around at least since the 1990s, when a film called The Clinton Chronicles, produced by Larry Nichols and promoted by Rev. Jerry Falwell, accused Bill Clinton of multiple crimes including murder. This conspiracy theory has been debunked by the Lakeland Ledger, the Chicago Tribune, Snopes and others, who point to detailed death records, the unusually large circle of associates that a president is likely to have, and the fact that many of the people listed had been misidentified, or were still alive. Others had no known link to the Clintons.

I've never seen the right wing fear anyone as much as they feared Hillary Clinton. Only Obama comes close...and we know what their problem with him was.

Here's some new MTG fun. MTG getting into a shouting match with Dems on the Capitol steps about abortion. I mean this woman has zero class at all, my gawd.

snippet:

“Taught in church, are you kidding me? Try being a Christian and supporting life!” Green retorted.

“You try being a Christian and try treating your colleagues decently,” Dingell said, briefly tripping on the steps in a fit of anger.

“Watch your step, lady, you’re going to fall down,” Greene responded. “Control yourself.”

What a gal! I'm so embarrassed for my country.

 

[Stacyhs]

I see MTG is still spreading the lie that the bill would allow abortion up to birth. She's making the same claim Pence did. Politifact rated it false:

Pence said Biden and Harris support abortion "up to the moment of birth."

Biden and Harris have not said they support abortion "up to the moment of birth." They say they support the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized abortion and allowed states to regulate it after fetal viability. They also say they are against state laws that conflict with the case, and would work to codify the ruling into law.

One expert said that Democrats’ intent to codify Roe could preempt state laws restricting abortion, and that a related case has a health exception broad enough to allow abortions "up to the moment of birth." But several other experts said that supporting Roe or related cases is not the same as supporting abortion "up to the moment of birth." They said that generally, people who support Roe mean they support the existence of a right to have an abortion or to not criminalize it.

Pence’s claim creates a wrong impression of Biden’s and Harris’ statements and of the common interpretation of cases that affirmed abortion rights.

We rate his claim False.

It's not the subject of the argument she cares about. It's about having an argument, the louder the better. All publicity is good publicity.

I can't find it now but her chief of staff quit after the shouting match fiasco. And IIRC they were a full-on MAGA head too.

Not out of any umbrage with Greene. He's a MAGA head for sure.

Greene “asked me to come with her to Washington and help organize her office,” Parsons said. “After eight and a half months fighting the Socialist Democrats and RINOS [Republicans in Name Only] in DC, it’s time to move on.”
...
Parsons praised Greene in his statement as an “America First superstar who has become one of the leading policy-influencers in our party today.” He called working for her the “highlight of my professional career.”

Thanks for posting the link.

I agree that Parsons may have said the words that you quote. However, I choose not to believe that the chief of staff for such an odious human being tells the truth all the time. "Highlight of his professional career" can go on his linked in page while he thanks his maker that he doesn't have to interact with this nut case moving forward.

tl;dr - he's a liar and she's an idiot and I question the timing.

You may be right. From the link:

Parsons was a gun-rights lobbyist in Georgia before he was hired by Greene, and he ran the nonprofit advocacy organization Georgia Gun Owners.

Georgia state Sen. Jen Jordan (D) told NPR station WABE in Atlanta early this year that Parsons was effective because he “was really willing to go after people, skirt the truth, say things that weren’t true.” He also used social media to “bully” people,” Jordan said.

Parsons also referred to the Biden administration as the "Communist Biden Admin."

On the Steve Bannon channel, MTG endorsed Ivermectin ... twitter link

I'm transcribing verbatim:

Ivermectin is a very good drug.

It's "safety-ness" has been proven for decades.

It even won a Nobel Peace Prize

She's not just dumb vs. the general population; she might actually be in the bottom quartile of intelligence among Cross-Fit idiots.

There was a time in society when people would point at idiots like her and laugh. We no longer live in such a time, and that is unfortunate.
