Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims She’s Worried Abortion Will Produce ‘Genocide In The Black Population’

According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) — aka the “Jewish space laser” nut — the reason she’s being such an asshole on a daily basis as a member of Congress is because she wants to eliminate all abortions in the United States.

Appearing on Real America’s Voice, Greene tried to explain away her verbal attack on her Democratic colleagues on the steps of the Capitol last Friday by suggesting that her vitriol had been about abortion:

“I said, ‘Are you happy you passed a bill that babies can be slaughtered up until the day of birth?’ There were so many Democrats and they have their signs: ‘Build Back Better Women.’ How on Earth is it making women better by creating a law where they can kill a baby in their womb even though the baby is about to be born? How are we building back better women when we’re turning men into women?”

She continued:

“And so I just started speaking out. Most of them weren’t saying anything to me but it was Debbie Dingell — like a dingleberry — she started fussing at me, telling me I needed to be civil to my colleagues and act the way I would act going to church.”

Of course, it’s highly unlikely that Greene even goes to church. And if she does, she certainly hasn’t learned anything about the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

But it was what Greene said next that proved her blatant hypocrisy and exposed her words as lies:

“They believe that life is so important that they are willing to shut down our economy, force children to stay home from school so no one dies from Covid. All of them voted for this bill that is actually producing genocide in the black population because they put Planned Parenthood mostly in these black-dominated neighborhoods and, you know, they’re just pushing abortion and birth control.

“When we’re passing bills like that, no one in here believes in God. We’re fighting against this and I refuse to be quiet anymore. It’s not go-along and get-along.”

Does Marjorie Taylor Greene expect us to believe that she gives a diddly damn about black people in the United States? She wanted to start a caucus to advocate for the “Anglo-Saxon political tradition,” as CNN reported in April:

Punchbowl News obtained a flier promoting the new caucus, which calls for a “common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and pushes a series of conspiracy theories about election integrity. The flier also outlined a nativist argument warning that “mass immigration” poses a threat to “the long-term existential future of America as a unique country with a unique culture and a unique identity.”

Does it sound like Greene cares about black people? Of course she doesn’t. She’s a racist like the vast majority of the GOP. She just wants an issue she can run on in 2022 when she tries to get reelected.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a cancer on the Congress and the country. Let’s hope she gets beaten in the midterm elections.

MTG Launches Disgusting Attack On Democratic Colleague And Winds Up Humiliating Herself

A day after she went on an unhinged shouting match at her Democratic colleagues on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went on Twitter and called a Democratic House member a piece of shit.

That Friday confrontation was filmed by people on the scene and involved Greene and Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI):

Dingell later told USA Today she felt a need to clap back at Greene:

“She was screaming at all my colleagues… I said, ‘Can’t you be civil to your colleagues?’ She was yelling at them… She was trying to be disruptive and rude to all my colleagues. She was trying to bully and disrupt (my) colleagues. We’re already on edge. We can disagree agreeably. She doesn’t have to go and yell and cause a scene at a press conference.”

Rather than engage in a civil debate with Dingell, Greene posted this on Saturday morning:

Be sure and note that Greene referenced her chief of staff. He resigned Friday shortly after his boss had that screaming match with Dingell, according to CBS46:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted Friday that her Chief of Staff, Patrick Parsons, would be resigning to focus on other political ventures.

Rep. Greene’s tweet also included a statement from Parsons, wherein he reflected on his work alongside Greene and what his upcoming plans entail. 

Reaction to Greene’s tasteless attack on Congresswoman Dingell was immediate and resulted in humiliation for the Georgia Republican:

Greene Heckles Democrats At Photo-Op And Gets Her A*s Handed To Her

On Friday, shortly after the House of Representatives passed the Women’s Health Protection Act as a response to the restrictive abortion law put in place by the Texas legislature, House Democrats gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol for a photo-op and news conference to discuss the issue of reproductive choice.

As they were speaking to the media, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) showed up and began heckling the gathering of Democrats, accusing them of being in favor of murder.

 

Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) looked at Greene and told her she was merely being “performative.” Greene (who probably has no idea what the word “performative” means, told Aguilar:

“No, you’re performative.”

Great comeback, Marjorie. For a five-year-old, maybe.

A few moments later, as Greene continued to babble like a psychopath, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) let the Georgia congresswoman have it, telling her she needed to learn the basics of Christianity and “respect your neighbor.”

Greene hissed at Dingell:

“Try being a Christian …”

But again, Dingell was more than ready, firing back:

“You try being a Christian! And try treating your colleagues decently!”

Exactly. Greene is said to have been “gleeful” on the day of the Jan. 6 riots, according to Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY), who told MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace on Thursday:

“I was there on the House floor, at that location with a bunch of Republicans who were — one in particular who was gleeful of the events transpiring outside. It took me a minute to understand why she was having such a good time. But I saw it. I saw it with her staff who caught up with her. They were excited about what was going on. They had been at the White House, I believe, the day before talking about what was going to happen.

“I don’t want to say but her initials were Marjorie Taylor Greene.”

Clearly, Greene wasn’t expecting the level of pushback she got from Democrats when she decided to try and interrupt their event. And, clearly, Greene has way too much time on her hands since her own party stripped her of any committee assignments for her disgusting, anti-Semitic comments and unhinged behavior.

The voters in Greene’s district need to replace her in the 2022 midterm election. Unless, that is, they like having the laughingstock of the entire Congress as their so-called representative.

Restrictive Texas Abortion Law Has Already Become The State’s ‘Worst Nightmare’

Republicans in the state of Texas are in one hell of a fix now as a result of their passing the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the nation, and it could wind up having both legal and political consequences,

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin was a guest on “Anderson Cooper 360” Monday evening, and he explained that news the first doctor is being sued under the Texas law proves just how bad the legislation is.

Cooper kicked off the discussion by noting that the people who filed suit against the Texas doctor aren’t exactly model citizens and don’t even live in the Lone Star State:

“One of the first legal challenges has come from someone on house arrest, another from a lawyer who has been disbarred. I mean any — under this law, anybody can just make a complaint?”

Toobin responded:

“This law in many respects is the worst nightmare of the anti-abortion forces, the people who are behind this law. It just underlines how ridiculous it is. I mean, you have this disbarred lawyer in Arkansas under house arrest filing one lawsuit. Some random person in Chicago filing the other lawsuit. I mean, how and why they should be able to sue a doctor in San Antonio for doing something that is, at least at this moment, protected under the United States Constitution is just crazy. But it is apparently what this law allows.”

This initial lawsuit, Toobin predicted, could be the one that helps obliterate the Texas law in the courts:

“And what the advantage that Nancy Northrup and and the other people are defending the doctor have, finally a judge will be able to say this law is unconstitutional. Because of the strange structure of the law, so far the Supreme Court have thrown up hands saying, there is not really a challenge here. It’s premature. And they haven’t ruled on the constitutionality and this law is now depriving women of the rights that they’re guaranteed into its third week. This — these lawsuits should finally get the question of whether the law is constitutional before a judge.”

The Texas anti-choice law could also wind up having political consequences for Republicans in the state, especially Gov. Greg Abbott, who is facing an uncertain bid for reelection next year with his approval rating cratering and likely facing a formidable Democratic opponent, former Texas congressman Beto O’Rourke, who is reportedly considering a run in 2022.

What a mess the Texas GOP has created. And they have no one to blame but themselves.

Texas Doctor Admits That He Just Violated The State’s ‘Extreme’ Anti-Abortion Law

Even though Texas has passed the most restrictive abortion legislation in the country, Dr. Alan Braid is admitting in a very public way — an op-ed in The Washington Post — that he performed an abortion and is in direct violation of the law.

Dr. Braid begins by noting that he started his residency in obstetrics and gynecology in 1972, a year before Roe v. Wade made abortion legal nationwide:

“At the hospital that year, I saw three teenagers die from illegal abortions. One I will never forget. When she came into the ER, her vaginal cavity was packed with rags. She died a few days later from massive organ failure, caused by a septic infection.”

Roe changed everything for those who provide health care to women, Braid goes on to explain, but he fears the bad old days may be about to return in the Lone Star State:

“Then, this month, everything changed. A new Texas law, known as S.B. 8, virtually banned any abortion beyond about the sixth week of pregnancy. It shut down about 80 percent of the abortion services we provide. Anyone who suspects I have violated the new law can sue me for at least $10,000. They could also sue anybody who helps a person obtain an abortion past the new limit, including, apparently, the driver who brings a patient to my clinic.

“For me, it is 1972 all over again.”

What did Dr. Braid do? What a doctor should do: He put the needs of his patient above the law and performed an abortion:

“And that is why, on the morning of Sept. 6, I provided an abortion to a woman who, though still in her first trimester, was beyond the state’s new limit. I acted because I had a duty of care to this patient, as I do for all patients, and because she has a fundamental right to receive this care.”

“I understand that by providing an abortion beyond the new legal limit, I am taking a personal risk, but it’s something I believe in strongly. Represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights, my clinics are among the plaintiffs in an ongoing federal lawsuit to stop S.B. 8.

“I have daughters, granddaughters and nieces. I believe abortion is an essential part of health care. I have spent the past 50 years treating and helping patients. I can’t just sit back and watch us return to 1972.”

Braid says he realizes there could be legal consequences for his actions. But he did what he believed was right as a medical professional:

We need more doctors like Alan Braid. And we need fewer politicians who are eager and willing to stick their noses where they don’t belong out of political expediency.
