Marjorie Taylor Greene Just Directly Threatened Black Female Democrats

Now that it’s becoming clear she may be disqualified from the November midterm ballot and also face criminal charges for her part in the January 6 Capitol insurrection, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is lashing out and even going so far as to threaten some female Democrats who just so happen to be black.

During an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show Monday evening, Greene whined about a legal challenge filed which would keep her from holding elected office under a clause found in the 14th Amendment which says no person is allowed to be a member of Congress who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

Carlson began the interview with the Georgia Republican by remarking:

“They are just trying to take their opponents off the ballot. They are attacking democracy.”

That was all Greene needed to go off on a rant:

“They look down on them because they voted for me and sent me to Washington to fight for the things that most Americans care about, like secure borders, stopping abortion, protecting our Second Amendment, stopping the out-of-control spending in Washington, stop funding never-ending foreign wars.”

She then proceeded to lay out a vast conspiracy that she claims has been launched against her:

“Now the progressives, the people that donate, the dark money groups, the 501(c)(3)s and the foundations, they have hired some attorneys from New York who hate the people in my district and don’t believe they should have the right to elect who they want to send to Washington, which is me.”

Greene added:

“Now they have filed a lawsuit because they are trying to rip my name off the ballot and steal my district’s ability to re-elect me and send me back to Congress.”

Yes, because you encouraged and supported an insurrection against the U.S. government! That’s a disqualifying act!

But it was what Greene said next that certainly sounds like a direct threat to some top Democrats:

“If you can challenge any representative’s candidacy or an elected officeholder, I bet you we could round up some Republican voters who didn’t like Kamala Harris funding rioters, criminal rioters out of jail or Ilhan Omar or Cori Bush or Maxine Waters inciting riots. I think there is another way to play this game.”

Greene doesn’t deserve to hold office. She gave up that right by being part of a coup attempt. And if he can be proven that she broke any federal laws, she should also be prosecuted and sent to prison.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Demands That Ukraine Surrender: ‘They Cannot Possibly Win!’

Just a few hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to a joint session of Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went on Facebook Live and demanded that Ukraine surrender to their Russian invaders.

Greene began by claiming that President Joe Biden shouldn’t have sent in military aid to Ukraine that he announced on Wednesday:

“If we truly care about suffering and death on our television screens, we cannot fund more of it by sending money and weaponry to fight a war they cannot possibly win! The only effect of more arms and more money from America will be to prolong the war!”

The Georgia Republican added that the United States was giving the Ukrainian people “false hope about a war they can’t win.”

Greene concluded her remarks by saying that she wants to halt all arms shipments to Ukraine because “as a Christian” she doesn’t want to “produce any more human suffering.”

Greene’s video posting drew a response from fellow Republican Liz Cheney (WY):

It’s hard to tell if Greene is really this stupid or on the Kremlin payroll. Of course, it’s certainly possible that both are true.

GOP Social Media WTF?!

Chairman Of Georgia Republican Party Gets Busted Posting Russian Propaganda On Twitter

David Shafer, who serves as Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party is in very hot water with others members of the GOP for tweets he sent out that have been deemed “Russian propaganda.”

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Shafer quoted a tweet from the Kremlin which was critical of a UN resolution that had been introduced by Russia:

Shafer’s tweet Sunday questioned why the U.S. and Ukraine voted against the resolution, which was critical of Nazism. He mused that Biden and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky “fell into a somewhat obvious trap” by opposing it.

If Shafer had bothered to do 30 seconds of research on the internet, he would have discovered that the Trump administration also voted against the Russian UN resolution:

The U.S. has voted against the Russia-backed U.N. resolution each time it has come up since 2005 – including during former President Donald Trump’s administration in 2019 and 2020.

U.S. officials say the resolutions are “thinly veiled attempts to legitimize Russian disinformation campaigns denigrating neighboring nations.”

GOP committee member Jason Shepherd said he is calling for a formal censure of Shafer as a result of the tweets:

“He is supposed to speak for all Republicans. Obviously he is speaking for a very fringe part of the Republican party that supports Vladimir Putin. Both Republican and Democratic administrations have voted against this resolution. He should have apologized and deleted the tweet. As of now he still hasn’t done that.”

State Senate Majority Leader Republican Mike Dugan echoed Shepherd’s remarks:

“(Anyone) that defends the actions of Putin and the Russian Government and the Ukraine is, to me as lost that what Russia is doing in the Ukraine is reprehensible…There’s no way you can justify it and things going on.”

Shafer was also pilloried on social media for being so eager to push Russian propaganda merely to make political points:

https://twitter.com/iDntGvShtAbtFck/status/1503025006137200642?s=20&t=KSEERzlBOWNDpRfMc92jzw

Shafer should resign in disgrace. But as we’ve learned on countless occasions, Republicans have absolutely no shame, even when they take the side of murdering thugs who bomb children and want to destroy the United States.

Congress GOP Gun Nuts WTF?!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Suggests It May Be Necessary To Use The ‘Second Amendment’ On Democrats

Not content to have allegedly been a part of the January 6 Capitol insurrection, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is now suggesting that it may be time to use guns on her Democratic opponents.

Greene was speaking to disgraced former Trump administration aide Sebastian Gorka as part of his pathetic excuse of a radio show which appears on the right-wing Salem Network when she brought up the subject of Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, who Greene claims is wrong on the issues of gun rights and the COVID vaccine:

“Ultimately the truth is it’s our Second Amendment rights, our right to bear arms, that protects Americans and give us the ability to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government. And I hate to use this language but Democrats, they’re exactly — they’re doing exactly what our Founders talked about when they gave us the precious rights that we have.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aljcZjKIg4&feature=emb_logo

She hates to use this language? No she doesn’t! She’s happy to use threats and fear to rile up her extremist base of supporters who are still convinced that Donald Trump won the 2020 election and is second only to Jesus in their bigoted brains.

Of course, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Greene would be spouting such dangerous rhetoric. After all, she’s been doing it since she first announced her candidacy.

According to CNN, Greene has a history of calling for violence against anyone who disagrees with her:

In one post, from January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said “a bullet to the head would be quicker” to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who, in her eyes, were part of the “deep state” working against Trump.

Oh, and then there was this, also aimed at Pelosi:

“She’s a traitor to our country, she’s guilty of treason,” Greene says in the video, which she posted on Facebook at the time. “She took an oath to protect American citizens and uphold our laws. And she gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally invade our land. That’s what treason is. And by our law representatives and senators can be kicked out and no longer serve in our government. And it’s, uh, it’s a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason.”

Maybe the voters in Greene’s district will do us all a favor and un-elect her in November. In the meantime, she needs to be under investigation by the Justice Department for a number of crimes, including issuing terroristic threats and giving aid and comfort to traitors who tried to overthrow the U.S. government.

Devin Nunes Resigning From Congress At End Of Year

Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) is resigning from Congress at the end of the year, according to multiple reports. He is also angling to be the head of former President Donald Trump’s new social media company.

CNN reports:

Republican Rep. Devin Nunes of California announced Monday he’ll leave the House in the coming weeks, in order to follow an undisclosed “new opportunity to fight for the most important issues I believe in.”

“I’m writing to let you know I’ve decided to pursue this opportunity, and therefore I will be leaving the House of Representatives at the end of 2021,” Nunes said in a letter to his constituents.

That was later confirmed by multiple news outlets:

In choosing not to remain in Congress, Nunes is achieving on his own terms what California Democrats could not in multiple well-funded attempts to unseat him. A Republican representing California’s agriculture-dominated Central Valley, Nunes has become a primary campaign target for Democrats given Nunes’ loyalty to Trump.

Nunes was indeed facing a tough reelection fight, with redistricting expected to cost him his seat in Congress:

An editor for The Cook Political Report, which tracks elections, wrote on Twitter that Nunes’ district would turn from having voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020 by five percentage points to one that backed President Joe Biden by nine.
