Former RNC Chair Warns: ‘Marjorie Taylor Greene Will Be The Most Powerful Speaker Of The House’

For almost a month now, as it became clear that Republicans would indeed win a narrow majority giving them control of the House of Representatives, there’s been endless chatter about who might be the next Speaker of the House.

The name most frequently mentioned is that of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), but many conservatives say they cannot support him because he’s not right-wing enough or willing to bend to their extremist will.

Surprisingly, Georgia GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she supports McCarthy, which has confounded some pundits since she’s also a hardcore right-wing nutjob.

But according to former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele, whoever winds up as Speaker will have to give a great deal of their power to Greene.

Appearing on MSNBC Friday, Steele noted:

“The media and others still want to focus on the man and, you know, what he’s trying to do, what he’s trying to say — we’re past that. I’m now looking at where the party leadership is trying to move itself, and the more telling thing for me was not the dinner that Donald Trump had with [Nick] Fuentes and Kanye [West]. It was the lack of response from political wannabes, who want to be president, the governor of Florida, which I still don’t think he’s put a statement out on that. The leadership of the party, ‘Oh, we don’t like antisemitism,’ without saying that the anti-Semitic former president is the case to be made against, and to draw that very bright line and say this is not who we are, nor is it who we want to be.”

Then came the warning about Greene:

“That small fraction of the party still has political, financial and other sway and control over the leadership. Marjorie Taylor Greene will be the most powerful Speaker of the House because she will have the opportunity to control what comes out of Kevin’s mouth around the things that matter to that small cadre.”

A panelist asked Steele if he thought Greene might actually wind up being Speaker, to which he responded:

“I just call the thing what it is.You call it shadow, I call it the thing. It’s the job, because what you can’t make that separation, when she is — you’re dragging her to your events and propping her up, telling her we’re going to put you back in committee, we’re going to give you a powerful leadership role. Come on.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims She’s Appointed Herself To The House Oversight Committee

Even though the next Congress hasn’t even been seated (and won’t be until January 3 of 2023), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) seemed to announce Wednesday that she has appointed herself to the House Oversight Committee.

Speaking with right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, Greene was asked how she could be certain that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will agree to a extreme conservative agenda if he becomes Speaker of the House, including subpoenas for Dr. Anthony Fauci and others close to President Joe Biden.

Greene insisted that McCarthy will be true to his word:

“He has said publicly that we are going to do all of these investigations into everything you just named. We are definitely doing these investigations and he’s allowing the chairmen of the committees to run it.”

She then added:

“I’m very excited to serve on Oversight. That’s the committee I’ve asked for and no one has told me no about anything. I am going to be pursuing many things and I’m thrilled to be able to do that.”

You may recall that Greene was stripped of all her committee assignments in 2021 after she spread bizarre conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic comments about “space lasers” controlled by Jews that were causing wildfires in California.

Just last month, Greene made it clear that she expects McCarthy to kowtow to her every whim if she agrees to support him as Speaker, commenting:

“I think that to be the best Speaker of the House and to please the base, he’s going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway. And if he doesn’t, they’re going to be very unhappy about it. I think that’s the best way to read that. And that’s not in any way a threat at all. I just think that’s reality.”

Greene also let it be known what committees she most coveted being a member of:

“I would like to be on Oversight. I would also like to be on Judiciary. I think both of those I’d be good on.”

Greene doesn’t have a law degree and has never practiced law, yet she wants to be on the Judiciary Committee.

Then again, Greene also has a non-functioning brain and yet she’s allowed to serve in Congress rather than being booted from the House and sent back home to North Georgia where she can sleep with as many redneck pieces of trash that are desperate enough to have her.

Voters In Marjorie Taylor Greene’s District Trash Her: ‘She’s Not Very Bright And She’s A Bully’

While it’s widely believed that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will probably emerge victorious in the upcoming midterm election, a report from The Guardian suggests that more than a few voters in Greene’s district are sick and tired of her being their congressional representative.

That’s especially true in the biggest city Greene represents, Rome, Georgia.

Julie Svardh, 49, an insurance agent, said: “I’m embarrassed to be from her district. She’s a national laughingstock. The things that she says, she doesn’t know basic words. She couples off with the worst people in Washington and is very annoying. She’s not bright and she’s a bully. She’s definitely not somebody you want representing where you live.”

How did Greene get elected in the first place? Svardh replied: “People blindly supported Trump in this area and so anyone who supported that person just got lumped in. People didn’t read a lot or really look at the details and see what people stand for.”

So why did Greene win in the first place, and why is she still popular with large numbers of her constituents despite the fact that she isn’t on any committees and really hasn’t done anything to help her district since being elected two years ago? Well, it has a lot to do with right-wing media such as Fox News, according to John Bailey, executive editor of The Rome News-Tribune newspaper.

Do you have reasonable people who don’t consume good information? A lot. I’m not saying these are dumb people, I’m just saying their information consumption is habitually bad.

“I have friends who are intelligent people but their information consumption habits have been bad for a long time. They don’t intelligently consume media. Top that on decades of ‘those politicians don’t care about us’, top that on ‘the media is looking for an angle’.”

Unfortunately, for every anti-Greene voter, there could be two more who think she’s the greatest thing in the world.

Cookie Wozniak, 77, said: “She’s a fighter. I believe in her, I have a lot of respect for her. She’s a real bulldog and a true patriot. I worry about our country being so divisive and they’re using the race card on everything. People want to destroy our history.”

Carla McFarland, 65, an air force veteran and retired nurse practitioner, added: “I have always been impressed from the first that I heard she was running. Nothing has changed my core belief in not only Marjorie Taylor Greene but the Maga [Make America great again] America First thought process.”

Seems that stupid may indeed win out over sensible when all the ballots are counted in Greene’s district.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Facing Censure For Yet Another Antisemitic Remark

Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is in hot water yet again for a disgusting remark she made about President Joe Biden that is being called antisemitic by Jewish groups, according to The Washington Post.

House Democrats are again seeking to censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over “Joe Biden is Hitler” social media posts. Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) introduced a resolution on Thursday.

The move comes after Greene posted on Twitter that “Joe Biden is Hitler” and subsequently tweeted a doctored video of the president with a small mustache standing at a lectern with swastikas in the background dubbed with audio of the Nazi leader.

Schneider first drafted a censure resolution last summer after Greene repeatedly compared the coronavirus vaccine and mask mandates to the Holocaust. But Schneider dropped the resolution after Greene visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and issued an apology for what she called her “offensive” remarks.

In a statement, Schneider noted that Greene has made such comments before and clearly doesn’t learn from her mistakes:

“Rep. Greene demonstrated that her apology in June 2021 was insincere and that she remains devoted to sullying the reputation of the House of Representatives.”

Indeed, Greene is a serial offender when it comes to antisemitic comments, having suggested that wildfires in California might have been sparked by lasers control by a Jewish cabal. She has also addressed a conference of white nationalists.

Greene has also been criticized by her fellow Republicans, with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) slamming her last year when she compared coronavirus protections to the yellow stars Jews were forced to wear under the Nazis.

The congresswoman is facing an uncertain bid for re-election and also being divorced by her husband of 27 years, Perry Greene. Details of the divorce and Marjorie’s alleged indiscretions could complicate her goal of winning another term in Congress.

Lauren Boebert Gets Hit With A Lawsuit That Could Expose All Of Her Dirty Secrets

 

This has been the proverbial Week from Hell for Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).

On Wednesday, a new poll showed that Boebert and her Democratic challenger, Adam Frisch, are statistically tied in the latest poll taken in the state, meaning that she could be facing losing her seat in Congress after just one term.

And now Boebert is being hit with a defamation lawsuit that threatens to expose all of the darkest secrets from her past, including some she has denied for years.

David Wheeler, co-plaintiff and president of the American Muckrakers PAC, has filed suit in a North Carolina court, alleging that statements he made about Boebert were indeed truthful and her attack on him constitutes defamation, according to the Smoky Mountain News.

In June, the PAC published scandalous allegations against Boebert, accusing the Christian conservative of formerly being an unregistered escort, and of having had two abortions — allegations, according to the lawsuit, that Wheeler and American Muckrakers believe to be true.

The four-count lawsuit alleges that Boebert told Hannity days later that there was no evidence to back up Wheeler’s claims, that the claims are false and that Wheeler knew the claims were false when he published them. Boebert also threatened legal action, called Wheeler a “hack” and blamed “radical Democrats” for an effort to remove her from office.

Wheeler alleges that the PAC suffered a 92% decrease in revenues after Boebert made her remarks, plummeting from “an average of $20,000 a month to around $3,800 a month.”

Now that the defamation suit has been filed, discovery could potentially open up all of Boebert’s life, including the accusations made by American Muckrakers. Even if none of them prove to be true, it could still expose Bobert to unwanted attention right as she’s trying to convince voters in her district to give her another term in office.
