Yes but you implied her colleagues would 'make it happen'. That's a different animal.

You are implying that I have inside information?? Eh, no.

I'm suggesting that her colleagues will not be particularly forthcoming in defending her, and may even be instrumental in helping her overboard. She isn't helping herself very much, and I'm not seeing a great mass of defending socials from her party comrades.

She's isn't so much stepping in stinky farmyard manure herself so much as smearing it on all her GOP "friends" as well. If she doesn't learn to keep her mouth shut at inopportune times, her more worldly-wise party representatives are going to "arrange" for her to have a scandal and get dismissed somehow.

Greene now represents the views of a sizeable minority, perhaps the majority, of GOP voters so there is little appetite for getting rid of her.

In light of the last four years, I find it difficult to imagine the kind of scandal that would cause a GOP representative to resign or be dismissed. What used to be considered grifting or fraud is now de rigeur.

Look, just own your ******* sentence, all right? You misspoke, it's not what you meant, whatever. But don't act like you never said this:

Well, she’s gone and done it.

I suppose the mocking and derision she is inviting will be a small price to pay in exchange for the rubes paying her back a thousand fold in cold, hard cash.
 
Wow how did this delusional bitch get elected?

I never thought someone with such conspiracist street cred could get elected, but probably despite it. Doesn't seem to be doing anything worthwhile to uncover the world-shaking conspiracies she believes are real though. At least Donald Trump wasted tons of tax payer and donor money on a few of his conspiracy theories.

We're talking rural Georgia. Nuff said.

I take your point. After Trump (and how good is it to say that!), the scale and/or rankness of scandal would have to be exceptionally gross to sway some fellow Republicans.

Running unopposed after her Democratic rival fell afoul of divorce and residency requirements didn't hurt either.

If she is an Area-51 aliens believer then we may have a trifecta. And also it will mean she is not long for that chamber.

By-the-by, what IS the shortest term of office for a member of Congress?

My guess is negative. As in, a congressman was elected by didn't get sworn in because he died between the election and the start of the new term.

Excluding those who were deceased, and thus (surprisingly) unable to technically hold office the record is one day (Effingham Lawrence). That incident is complicated and involves a contested election. More recently Kwanza Hall served for 31 days.
 
Not only does she promote the CT that the Parkland shooting was a false flag, she thinks Sandy Hook was fake as well, and she's being called on it by survivors and the parents of victims of both shootings.

The Parkland chapter of March for Our Lives called Greene a “coward.”

“The shooting at our school was real. Real kids died and our community is still grieving today. You should be ashamed of yourself and resign from congress,” the organization tweeted. “Conspiracy theorists don’t deserve a seat in the people’s house.”

David Hogg, the activist and co-founder of March for Our Lives, vowed to organize against Greene if she did not apologize for the comments.

“I have one message for @RepMTG,” tweeted Hogg, a Parkland survivor. “Apologize Now or continue to spread the conspiracies and we will be sure to make the next two years of your life not only your last in Congress but a living hell as well.”​

This young man has the ear of some pretty powerful people as well as the mainstream media, and he's good at organizing effective protest campaigns. The pressure could soon be coming on this QNut to get out of the house.
 
Not wanting to be left behind in the stupid contest. Boebrick has intorudced a measure repealing Biden's Mask Mandate.
The Republican war on science continues.

Her Dem opponent didn't stand a chance of winning as that district is a deeply red district. The fact that MT-G could win the primary against Cowan, a neurosurgeon who was just as much a Trumper and Bible thumper as any "true Patriot" could want tells you something.

Cowan campaign website statement:

“We need a representative in Washington with the backbone to stand up to deranged Democrats and weak Republicans. In Congress, I’ll fight beside President Donald J. Trump to protect our values and end the liberal assault on our God-given rights.”
