For some reason known only to her, Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene decided she’d send out Purim greetings to Jews via Twitter, but it didn’t take long before she likely realized that had been a really bad idea.
Here’s the tweet:
Purim, it should be noted, commemorates a story from the Biblical Book of Esther in which Queen Esther was able to thwart a plan that would have completely destroyed the Jews who were living in ancient Persia at the time. The holiday began Monday and ends this evening.
Greene would seem to be the last person who should wish anyone anything on any Jewish holiday. After all, she’s the same person who also:
- Suggested that Jewish space lasers were to blame for wildfires in the United States
- Appeared at a rally in 2022 with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who has said the Holocaust didn’t occur
- Has advocated that the Republican Party be the party of Christian nationalism
And now Greene wants to make nice with the Jewish community? People weren’t buying what she was selling, and they let her know what a putz she is.
