According to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), it’s “completely unfair” that so many people think she’s “unintelligent,” and the media is to blame for her having a reputation for being intellectually inadequate.
Speaking to conservative podcaster Lisa Boothe, Greene whined:
“They create me as someone to not be liked. They make me out as if I’m angry or crazy or basically just unintelligent, which, you know, is completely unfair. But they say give me all the ‘isms.’ You know, ‘ists.’ Like the racist, the homophobic, um, you know, anti-Semitic. They put all those labels on me and none of them are true.
“That’s pretty frustrating so I think people get the wrong idea about me.”
And yet, in the very next breath, Greene proved why so many of us think she’s a lightweight when it comes any serious discussion of something as important as U.S. foreign policy.
Greene told Boothe that it’s not fair to spend money on arming Ukraine when mothers in the United States are unable to find formula for their babies, even though the two are not the least bit connected:
“Our government, it’s not the same government. It’s a regime. They’re communists. They are waging a war against America. Anyone that went inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, whether they just walked around or they fought with police officers or they broke their way in, no matter what level they were on, they have become political targets. They have been arrested. They’re being prosecuted.”
They’re being prosecuted because that’s what happens to insurrectionists who try to stage a coup and overturn a free and fair election. If the same had been done in 2016 when Trump won, you can bet Greene would have wanted public executions for anyone who played a role.
The Georgia congresswoman also went on a rant about Nina Jankowicz, who will lead the Department of Homeland Security disinformation board:
“The ministry of truth is absolutely absurd and that woman, we have a lot to say about her. The very idea that they can make her the decision-maker of what’s true and what isn’t true and she’s just clearly a far-left woman who seems miserable in her own right.”
To borrow a line from the film “Forrest Gump” that applies to Marjorie Taylor Greene, “Stupid is as stupid does.”
