James Carville Slams Marjorie Taylor Greene And The GOP As ‘White Trash’

Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville has had enough of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her ilk, especially in light of their infantile jeering at this year’s State of the Union Address, telling MSNBC host Ari Melber that Greene and those like her are “white trash.”

“Well, you know, I told people I have a PhD in white trashology, you saw real white trash on display. Let me say something about congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. She dresses like white trash. She really needs a fashion consultant. I recommend George Santos. He could do a good job of dressing up where she doesn’t announce her white trashdom by her own clothes.”

Carville then took a flamethrower to the entire GOP:

“First of all, their lust for cutting Social Security and Medicare is well documented. Newt Gingrich shut the government down and got defeated in the end. We know that George W. Bush tried to privatize Social Security and Medicare. we know when Paul Ryan was Speaker and John Boehner — they did everything they could to cut Social Security and Medicare. We know that that is their objective.”

The Republican Party, Carville added, is trashy:

“President Joe Biden is 1000% right on this, and he’s right to press ahead, and I thought he had a great night last night. It’s just — the level of white trashdom in the Republican Party is staggering. I mean, for somebody that has observed it for a long time, like I have, I’ve never seen it manifest itself on a level that it’s manifesting itself.”

Before the interview ended, Carville also singled out Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert:

“You cannot do anything to have low-quality people — Lauren Boebert met her husband when — allegedly according to the police report, he exposed himself to her at a bowling alley. This is not made-up stuff. This is who they are! And even McCarthy, as gutless and spineless as he is, knew that they walked right into the trap. It’s unbelievable.”

Boebert Says She’s Still Angry With Biden For Shutting Down Schools In 2020 – Before He Became POTUS

Bless her little ignorant heart, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R) just can’t help but humiliate herself on a regular basis because, quite simply, she’s an imbecile.

Boebert is lashing out (as she often does) at President Joe Biden for remarks he made during Tuesday’s State of the Union about how bad things were in the U.S. during the worst days of the COVID pandemic.

At one point, the president directly referenced, “When schools were closed,” adding, “Our schools were robbed of so much.”

That led the Boebert to accuse Biden of being the one who closed them, even though that would have been impossible because schools began closing in 2020 while failed one-term former president Donald Trump was still in office.

“When schools were closed.” – Biden Hey Joe, YOU CLOSED THEM!

Nope. Not even remotely true, as PolitiFact pointed out:

That is inaccurate. School closures began in spring 2020 when former President Donald Trump was still in office, and those decisions were made by state-level education officials and governors. 

“State leaders govern education in the U.S., and the federal government has very little say in what decisions governors or education chiefs make about schools,” said Christine M. T. Pitts, of the Center on Reinventing Public Education at Arizona State University.

Inaccurate. That could easily be Lauren Boebert’s middle name because when she isn’t losing grasp of recent history, she’s just flat-out making shit up and/or spreading conspiracy theories that have absolutely no basis in fact or reality.

Of course, Bobert’s middle name could also be Moron, because she certainly qualifies on that count, too. Hell, she makes Marjorie Taylor Greene look like damn particle physicist!

Twitter users quickly leveled out Bobo’s internet karma, making sure to let her know that the only difference between her and a 2-watt bulb is that the bulb is at least somewhat bright, especially in total darkness such as exists in the space between the congresswoman’s ears.

Congress GOP Social Media WTF?!

Unhinged MT Greene Rages At Former Twitter Executive – ‘You Violated Me!’ – During House Hearing

Fresh off her hateful heckling of President Joe Biden during Tuesday evening’s State of the Union Address, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) used a hearing of the House Oversight Committee today to vent her spleen, accusing a former Twitter executive of violating her for suspending her account in 2022 when she shared false information about COVID.

Ostensibly, the hearing was to discuss the alleged suppression of a story about Hunter Biden by Twitter, but it soon became clear that Greene wanted to celebrate Festivus early this year and air her grievances at Twitter’s former Global Head of Trust & Safety, Yoel Roth.

“You didn’t shadow ban or permanently ban my Democrat opponent. No, you did that to me. And that was wrong, and it was against the law. It’s not only me that you violated my First Amendment rights; you violated countless conservative Americans.
“Guess what? I’m so glad that you’re censored now, and I’m so glad you’ve lost your job. Thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter.”

If Greene had bothered to actually read and understand the U.S. Constitution and its 27 amendments, she’d know the First Amendment only applies to government suppression of free speech, not to private companies or platforms.

Holding up posters of her banned tweets, Greene continued to rage:

“You violated me! You called that COVID misinformation. By the way, I’m a member of Congress, and you’re not.”

After Greene had finished having her hissy fit, Democratic Congressman Jimmy Gomez of California asked Roth why Greene had been suspended from Twitter in the first place, to which Roth replied:

“Her personal account was banned from Twitter after repeated written notices due to repeated violations of Twitter rules. The congresswoman repeatedly violated Twitter’s policies about sharing misinformation about Covid-19. She received multiple written warnings about that conduct.”

When Greene tried to speak again (even though her time had expired), Gomez reiterated what Roth had just said:

“The gentle lady from Florida was suspended for knowingly and consistently spreading conspiracy theories about COVID-19 vaccines, right, which is shameful, shameful, especially in a pandemic where millions have lost their lives.”

Has anyone checked to make sure that Margie’s had her annual rabies vaccination?

Trump Offers A Petulant Response To Biden’s State Of The Union Address: ‘I’m A Victim!’

Instead of disagreeing with the policies and vision laid out by President Joe Biden in his State of the Union Address, failed former president Donald Trump decided he’d go on social media and insist that he’s a victim.

Calling his remarks “the real State of the Union,” Trump raged on his failing Truth Social site:

“Here’s the real State of the Union. Over the past two years under Biden, millions and millions of illegal aliens from 160 different countries have stormed across our Southern border. Drug cartels are now raking in billions of dollars from smuggling poison to kill our people and to kill our children. Savage killers, rapists and violent criminals are being released from jail to continue their crime wave and under Biden the murder rate has reached the highest in the history of our country.”

And then Donnie declared himself to be a victim:

“Joe Biden’s weaponized Justice Department, and I’m a victim of it, is persecuting his political opponents. His administration is waging war on free speech. They’re trying to indoctrinate and mutilate our children. He’s leading us to the brink of World War III. And on top of all of that, he’s the most corrupt president in American history, and it’s not even close.”

There was also the obligatory reminder from Trump that he’s running again in 2024 and will make everything sweetness and light if he wins:

“I am running for President to end the destruction of our country and to complete the unfinished business of Making America Great Again.”

If he really wants to make America great, he should move to Russia and stay off all social media platforms. Maybe his BFF Putin could even give him a job.

Capitol Insurrection Congress GOP January 6

WATCH Jamie Raskin Destroy Marjorie Taylor Greene For Continuing To Defend Jan. 6 Rioters

During a meeting of the House Rules Committee on Tuesday, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) chastised Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for claiming that the “major civil rights issue” facing the country is the pro-Trump rioters who have been criminally charged and incarcerated for taking part in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Raskin noted that Greene is blind to the mistreatment of those who live in Washington, D.C. and instead whines about “MAGA insurrectionists who are in jail for assaulting officers, interfering with a federal proceeding, and engaging in seditious conspiracy.”

The Maryland Democrat added that House Republicans would love to “turn the clock back on D.C.’s home rule power and relive the glory days when Washington was run like a colony by some racist Dixiecrats out of the House district committee.”

He finished his verbal destruction of Greene and her GOP colleagues by remarking:

“Today, it’s the GOP that is determined to put the people of Washington in their place … attacking Washington not just for its local voting rights policies and criminal justice code, but for its gun safety policies, for its defensive abortion rights and LGBTQ rights, its decriminalization of marijuana, and dozens of other issues potentially headed to the House floor.”

Raskin is absolutely right about House Republicans and their colleagues in the Senate who are still trying to minimize what took place on Jan. 6. To hear them tell it, the rioting was “legitimate political speech” and no one should be punished for taking part in the attack on the Capitol.
