While she claims to be a loyal and patriotic American who is dedicated to the MAGA (Make America Great Again) political ethos espoused by disgraced former president Donald Trump, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted a tweet this morning that suggests she’s only onboard with being a patriot when everything goes her way.
As Newsweek notes, Greene was clearly distressed by the far-reaching racketeering indictment handed down Monday evening by a Fulton County, Georgia grand jury and announced by the county district attorney Fani Willis.
The indictment hit the former president with 13 felony charges, including violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer, filing false documents, and multiple conspiracy counts.
Eighteen of his allies were also indicted, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and John Eastman. Trump has until Friday to surrender himself to authorities in Georgia for arraignment. He has long maintained his innocence against all of the legal cases mounting against him and dismissed them as politically motivated, as have many of his supporters.
Greene posted this in response to the indictment:
Flying the American flag upside down is a signal of distress, and it’s illegal under federal law.
Also, given that Greene has viciously attacked anyone who refuses to stand for the flag or National Anthem, it’s more than a tad hypocritical of her to use the flag in such a manner, as many reminded her on Twitter.
