MTG Tries To Explain Her ‘Gazpacho Police’ Gaffe – Only Succeeds In Further Humiliating Herself

For Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), it’s a matter of going from the frying pan right into the fire.

On Wednesday, the Georgia Republican had a complete meltdown during an interview with One America News (OAN), accusing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of spying on members of the GOP caucus:

“So we have the Capitol Police – now, I don’t think it’s the rank and file – I think it is those in charge in the administration. And Nancy Pelosi is using them like political pawns, sending them into our offices.

“They’re even checking into people that go to our events outside of outside of Washington. So everything is completely out of control. Not only do we have the D.C. jail, which is the D.C. gulag, but now we have Nancy Pelosi’s gazpacho police spying on members of Congress spying on the legislative work that we do, spying on our staff and spying on American citizens that want to come talk to their representatives.”

Gazpacho is a cold soup made of raw, blended vegetables, not a type of police force. Gestapo would have been the correct word, but when you’re as stupid as Greene, you find new ways to embarrass yourself every time you open your big mouth.

And now the Georgia Republican is trying to suggest that she meant to use the wrong word and did it as some sort of moronic homage to her lord and savior, failed, one-term former President Donald Trump:

“Some of us slip up a word every now and then, but Joe Biden doesn’t even know the words coming out of his mouth practically all the time.

“The good news is that the people know the difference.

“So in the famous words of some one I hold dear.. Covfefe!”

But people weren’t buying Green’s pathetic excuse, and they couldn’t resist telling her so. Take a look:

Lauren Boebert Gets Award For ‘Hottest Woman In Congress’ – Complete With Her Name Spelled Incorrectly

Poor Lauren Boebert. No one takes the Colorado Republican congresswoman seriously because she’s a educationally-challenged clown who barely passed the GED exam shortly after she was elected.

Despite that, many on the right-wing of the GOP love to tout Boebert’s devotion to the Second Amendment and the fact that she’s easy on the eyes, which is always a big deal for male Republicans who can’t get enough of the blonde female hosts on Fox News.

Matter of fact, Boebert just won an award for being the “Hottest Woman in Congress,” which came complete with a gift certificate to Red Lobster and a nice framed certificate. Here, see for yourself:

Lauren Boebar? Must have been a poorly educated Trump supporter who was in charge of printing the certificate.

Twitter had a damn field day:

Arizona GOP Senate Candidate Shoots At Lookalikes Of Biden And Pelosi In ‘Disgusting’ Ad

A Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate has released a Super Bowl ad that shows him in an armed showdown with President Joe Biden, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), whose wife, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was shot and seriously wounded by a gunman in 2011.

The Hill reports:

Arizona Senate candidate Jim Lamon’s campaign released a Super Bowl ad on Thursday depicting him in an armed “showdown” with Democratic leaders including incumbent Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly (D). 

The 30-second ad features actors depicting Kelly, President Biden, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

“The good people of Arizona have had enough of you. It’s time for a showdown,” Lamon, who plays himself in the ad, says. 

The Democratic figures then draw their weapons and Lamon shoots at them, prompting them to run away.

Blake Masters and Michael McGuire, who are Lamon’s rivals for the GOP nomination, blasted him for his sick ad, with Masters calling it “absurd and desperate. Fits his campaign.”

McGuire noted:

“Real violence and use of deadly force is no laughing matter. Violence in America is real and it isn’t funny. This ad shows poor judgment and isn’t reflective of the values of the Second Amendment. This ad will do more to boost Mark Kelly’s fundraising than help Republicans.”

Shannon Watts, founder of the gun control group Moms Demand Action, weighed in on Twitter:

Rather than apologize, Lamon doubled down:

Lamon has almost no chance of winning the GOP nomination, and even he were to get the nod, isn’t seen as a serious contender to Kelly.

Matt Gaetz’s Latest Tweets Sound A Lot Like Death Threats Aimed At Kevin McCarthy

Something very strange is going on with Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, and it doesn’t bode well for how he’ll respond on the day indictments for child sex trafficking are handed down against him and he’s facing the prospect of life in prison.

Gaetz posted three tweets earlier today that on the surface seem like little more than a vapid commentary on a Newsweek article he came across with the title “All-male cheetah pack kill leader in bloody coup.”

That prompted the Florida congressman to follow-up with this:

Cheetahs and House Leadership races, huh? Well, the current leader of House Republicans is Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), who said Wednesday he agrees with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) that the January 6 attack on the Capitol was indeed “a violent insurrection.”

It’s tempting to say that Gaetz was aiming his tweets at McConnell, but he referenced “House Leadership races,” so that narrows down who he’s referring to.

No matter how you look at it, however, it sounds like a direct threat of some violent action that Gaetz is formulating, even though the chance he’ll still be a free man when such decisions are made is fading by the day, because another person with knowledge of the accusations against Gaetz has now entered a guilty plea and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors, according to Politico:

A Florida collectibles dealer connected to the federal investigation into Rep. Matt Gaetz formally entered a guilty plea in Orlando on Wednesday, marking another twist in the ongoing probe into the Republican congressman.

Joe Ellicott, known as “Big Joe,” pleaded guilty in federal court to conspiracy to commit fraud and drug charges and has agreed to cooperate with federal authorities. Ellicott is a relatively minor figure in the ongoing Gaetz probe but was listed on a federal grand jury subpoena in December 2020 along with Gaetz and several other men.

Here’s some free advice for Kevin McCarthy in light of the Gaetz’s tweets: You might want to increase your security detail and keep a close eye on the perv from Florida.

Trump Said To Be ‘Mortified’ Of The Revelations In A New Book That Lays Out His Crimes

Everywhere he looks, failed one-term former President Donald Trump sees only trouble, be it legal, political, or financial.

And now things are about to get much worse for the ex-president, as an upcoming book from Maggie Haberman of the New York Times is already revealing a potential crime Trump committed when he allegedly flushed official White House documents down the commode while still in office.

The book, which will be released in October (right before the midterm elections), is one that Trump is reportedly “terrified” and “mortified” will expose his most serious crimes, according to former Trump administration communications aide Alyssa Farah, who was a guest host on “The View.”

Farah said she remains in touch with people who have close ties to Trump:

“I still talk to some folks in Trumpworld, the ones who have not engaged in criminality. The former president is terrified of Maggie Haberman’s book. This is the first big anecdote, but there is quite a bit more to come.

“She’s covered him for decades. He’s scared of that. He is mortified.”

Additionally, Farah addressed the issue of Trump’s alleged destruction of government documents, which is a federal crime:

“What’s interesting to me is I’m, like, what would be on those documents that you would be, like, this has to go down the toilet? That’s the question I think we’re all dying to know the answer to, but let me say this. I have to say as a Republican, I hold a top-secret security clearance. I know how to handle classified information. It was wrong when Hillary Clinton destroyed classified federal documents and it’s absolutely wrong when Donald Trump does. I’m just shocked he went a step further, not just bleaching it, but sticking it down the toilet which is something else.”

Trump’s reaction to what Clinton did was to chant “lock her up” at the 2016 Republican National Convention and then chide the former secretary of state at their debates, telling her if he was president she’d already be under arrest.

Now, however, karma has come to pay a call on Donald Trump. And if anyone deserves to be locked up, it’s the Grifter Supreme.

Here’s video of Farah on “The View”
