The sad part is, this probably plays exceptionally well with grassroots Republicans. trump called Greene a "rising star in the Republican Party."

trump/greene in '24? :(

I doubt it. President Trump doesn't like sharing the limelight and Marjorie Taylor Greene certainly knows how to grab attention.
 
The word that describes her is one that the former guy used a lot - “nasty”.

Regardless of her politics she’s just a nasty, petty person.

Most disgusting act yet from Green:

And silence from most of her GOP collegues.
The GOP is ,long term comitting suicide.It has become the party of bigotry.

I wish that story had been at the bottom of the hour or not covered at all. It was fine covering the **** when she was losing her committee assignments. Covering her silly, petty little sign though amounted to the news media letting her live rent free in their heads.

Disgusting?
The Rep across the hall from Greene displays a symbol of a political position with the expressed intent of making a political rival "look at it every time she opens her door".

Responding to that by displaying an opposing viewpoint on her own door (not a viewpoint promoting genocide, persecution, or discrimination- just an opposing one) is described as "disgusting" behavior.
That about sums up a lot of "our" politics thes days, I guess.

That’s assuming both are equivalent.

Clearly, that bastion of unbiased reporting CNN does not think so.

They choose to label the response ( a response in kind, no less) as "antagonizing" before going on to describe how the response was provoked by deliberate, clearly stated trolling.

.....llinois Rep. Marie Newman, whose daughter is transgender, posted a video on Twitter of her hanging the pink and blue transgender pride flag outside her office Wednesday afternoon, captioning that Greene tried to block the act "because she believes prohibiting discrimination against trans Americans is 'disgusting, immoral, and evil,'" adding, "thought we'd put up our Transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door" with winking and transgender flag emojis.
Somehow, that was not "antagonizing".

Actually, One person trolls another- announcing their intent to troll.
The trolled individual responds in kind.

Instead of taking a lesson on the corrosive nature of trolling (a favorite technique of that recently departed "he who's name shall remain unspoken") Useful idiots line up to attack based upon which "side" the participants seem to be on- taking as much liberty with how they choose to hyperbolise the incident as they desire.

Is your position that Newman out-trolled MTG and therefore we should be angry at Newman?

I mean, she hung a flag and that was enough to draw MTG offsides. The game is being played, now it is just a matter of who is the better player.

Had she hung the flag without announcing that she was doing it to troll her office-mate, the response would not have been appropriate.
The flag is a pretty vague symbol, after all, and could have meant anything.
She chose to give it a more specific meaning when she flat out stated that she was hanging it there to troll Greene.

Greene responded in an exactly appropriate way. In kind, and directly towards the antagonizer (labelled thus, again, because she specifically stated that hanging it there was an attempt to antagonize Greene).

Calling that act "disgusting" contributes nothing, and if anyone should face our ire, it is those who are doing so.

I saw her hanging an ignorant sign, not a flag. What flag did she hang to represent her bigotry? Was it the rebel flag?

Wait, is the flag a vague symbol that could mean anything, or is it a trans flag?
