The Marjorie Taylor Greene thread.

Status
Not open for further replies.
From a local Georgia newspaper story, a southern Georgia newspaper, but even so. ;)
Two of the GOP’s most controversial figures are on a quest to keep President Donald Trump at the forefront of the Republican Party. Georgia’s U.S. House Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was joined by Florida House Rep. Matt Gaetz in deep-red Dalton on Thursday night as part of their series of “America First” rallies. “We are the most hated and the most attacked members of Congress, Matt and I,” Greene told the crowd. “Guess what? We don’t really care, do we?"

Greene, a freshman congresswoman has spent nearly every day since her election in the national headlines for the perpetuation of false conspiracy theories, and often racist and anti-Semitic comments. The latest: comparing COVID-19 mask mandates to Nazi terror over the Jewish population during the Holocaust. Valdosta Ga. Daily Times link

One fan at the MTG-Gaetz event in Dalton, GA (MTG's constituency) said that she hadn't heard MTG's "Holocaust" comment (probably because it wasn't covered on her info source) but when the reporter told her, she said she agreed because the "the Nazis medically experimented on people and children" referring to Covid vaccines. Of course, the fact that Trump takes credit for those very vaccines and has been vaccinated himself never occurs to her. There just has to be something in the Dalton County, GA water. Lead. Arsenic. Stupidinium.

Google “Greene Gaetz” for a plethora of results regarding her (and his) current shtick.

Must I? I'm seeing my sock drawer needs arranging by colour. MUCH more urgent.

No, I asked about seeing her in the REAL news. The most I've seen of her from here is on this forum.

This never seems run out in T**** country. Since they are so consistently deliberately ignorant, and they are still members of the same human race with the same brain capacity as us mere fallible mortals, I can only assume that such gross ignorance is deliberately cultivated in that part of the world. I hope I'm wrong though...

This is what I found interesting about the news coverage of the Greene-Gaetz event by local media. Even the Dalton news site -- the Dalton Daily Citizen-News -- carried the same news story by Riley Bunch that the Valdosta Daily Times carried. Bunch is a reporter/photographer for Community Newspaper Holdings Inc. which owns and publishes newspapers in a number of small markets, many in the South, including the newspaper in Dalton. Most of the coverage is local news. Weather, crime, fires, accidents, local events, etc. Bunch's regular assignment is covering the Georgia legislature.

Both stories included the statement:

The latest: comparing COVID-19 mask mandates to Nazi terror over the Jewish population during the Holocaust.

Note this is not an op-ed but a straight up news story. It is being reported -- even in Greene's own home territory -- that she relentlessly engages in false conspiracy theories, and makes racist and anti-Semitic comments. Presented as fact, not opinion.

I get the sense that most of Greene's supporters -- whatever else they may be -- live comfortable lives. They're employed, make an adequate income, have healthcare. They probably see themselves as not needing anything from government. So they indulge themselves by electing someone like Marj Greene. They probably delight in inflicting her on the rest of us. :(

I'm sure that if confronted with that they'd just suppose that Trump is screwing with the media, and didn't actually get vaccinated. Giving an inconsistent message is treated as a feature.

How would they explain Trump's constant bragging about being responsible for the quick development of the C 19 vaccine and its distribution which would never have happened without him (according to him)? If the vaccine is poisoning everyone, then Trump is bragging about being responsible for poisoning the American people. Yet their little pea brains don't seem able to connect the dots.

I don't think they assign any value to connecting the dots. It has never given them any satisfaction, so they simply don't try. A feature of being a skeptic is that you connect the dots even if the result hurts.

Which is a sign of a lack of intelligence.
