Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) arrived at Thursday’s State of the Union address later than she expected, and about the only place left to sit was right next to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who she says muttered and complained during the entire speech.
Moore revealed the bizarre things Greene said as President Joe Biden was speaking during an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” noting that no one else was willing to sit next to the Georgia Republican, and she soon found out why.
“I was trying to draw — bring out some empathy and to see if she had any, you know, and to recognize that, you know, instead of spending all of our time, you know, being surprised and shocked at Donald Trump having these supporters to try to listen to them.”
“For example, this is a really good example,” she explained. “When he [Biden] talked about Bettie May Fikes, who I have met on the march to Selma to the Edmund Pettus Bridge, when he talked about her being there and voting rights and John Lewis. She said, ‘1965?’ She was really truly surprised, I think. ‘Nobody is having their —being prevented from voting.’ Now, that was 1965. ‘I said ‘no girl, they tried to take my vote from me,’ because I voted and used a drop box in the last election.”
Greene got even more agitated, Moore said, when the president mentioned Covid.
“She was muttering about how we shuttered businesses and so forth during Covid. I said, ‘Girl, well, Covid was a real thing. My eldest son almost died from Covid and was in the hospital on a ventilator for a week.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a blight on the U.S. Congress and this country. She needs to be expelled from the House for her outrageous actions and utterances. And she also needs to explain to the American people why she reportedly begged failed former president Donald Trump for a pardon shortly before he left office.
