Democrat Swats Down MT Greene On Guns: ‘You Guys Are Worried About Banning Books – Dead Kids Can’t Read!’

At a Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing earlier today, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) got swatted down by Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz (FL) on the issue of guns, gun safety, and the most recent mass shooting at school in Nashville that left six dead, including three young children.

Moskowitz began by remarking:

“There are six people that are dead in that school including three children because you guys got rid of the assault weapons ban.
“Because you guys made it easy for people who don’t deserve to have weapons, who are mentally incapable of having weapons of war, being able to buy those weapons and go into schools.”

The Florida Democrat then noted the hearing itself was a joke with the GOP focusing on car theft and public urination in the District of Columbia:

“You guys want to talk about DC public schools and crime? I don’t I don’t want to burst your bubble over there, but mass murder in schools is crime.

“You want to talk about 1,300 cars being stolen, 550 people have been murdered in school. Who cares about the cars? What about the kids?”

Moskowitz continued:

“No hearing for them. 330,000 kids have experienced gun violence in this country. The number one killer of school aged children in this country. Gun violence. How do you think for the parents who have had to bury their kids who have had to decide what to put their kids clothes, but their kids when they buried them? Or kind of box they have to pick out for their child or for when they come home?”

When it was her time to speak, Greene began whining, “I was an 11th grade and Joe Biden made our school gun free school zones. One of the students in my school brought three guns to school and our entire school went on lockdown, because he was the only person with a gun. There was no good guy with a gun to protect us kids at school.”

She added:

“So, if you want to have a good talk about schools, and protecting children, we need to talk about protecting our children the same way we protect our president, the way we protect our celebrities.”

However, Congressman Moskowitz had the perfect retort to Greene’s claims:

“Did the good guys with the guns stop six people from getting murdered? No. But you know what? AR 15’s, have you ever seen what those bullets do to children? You know why you don’t hunt with an AR 15 with a deer, because there’s nothing left. And there’s nothing left as these kids when people go into school and murder them while they’re trying to read.

“You guys are worried about banning books – dead kids can’t read.”

If guns were the solution to crime the way Republicans claim, wouldn’t the United States be the safest country on the planet? It isn’t, and the proliferation of guns is a big part of the problem.

GOP Gun Crime Gun Nuts Joe Biden WTF?!

Greene Demands President Biden Give Up Secret Service Protection After Nashville School Shooting

It’s another dark day in the United States, with yet another mass shooting at a school, leaving six dead.

CNN reports from the scene in Nashville:

At least three students and three adults are dead following a shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, police said Monday.

“We now know that there are three students who were fatally wounded as well as three adults inside the school. We are working to identify those victims. Including the shooter, a total of seven persons were killed as a result of this morning’s incident at the school,” Don Aaron of the Metro Nashville Police Department said.

Five of the six shooting victims were transported, Aaron said. All those who were shot are dead, he added.

“Three students who were shot are deceased. Three staff members who were shot are deceased,” Aaron told reporters.

After the shooting, President Joe Biden remarked, “We have to do more to stop gun violence. It’s ripping our communities apart. It’s ripping at the very soul of the nation. We have to do more to protect our schools so they aren’t turned into prisons.”

But according to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), blame for the shooting lies with the president and he should give up his Secret Service protection immediately.

On Twitter, Greene posted this hateful screed:

“My prayers are with the victims and families at the Covenant School in Nashville. Another absolutely horrific needless tragedy. Children and school staff should always be protected the same way politicians, money, precious stones, and gold are protected, but even more so, by good guys with guns. Thank God for good guys with guns and thank God a good guy with a gun killed the evil mentally deranged shooter today. Joe Biden’s gun free school zones have endangered children at schools leaving them as innocent targets of sick horrible disturbed people ever since he worked as a Senator to pass this foolish law. What a fool. What a failure. Gun grabbers like Joe Biden and Democrats should give up their Secret Service protection and put themselves on the same level as our unprotected innocent precious children at school. School shootings should NEVER happen and will end immediately when our nations children are defended the same way Joe Biden is by good guys with guns!!! End this now.”

Of course, the president hasn’t grabbed anyone’s guns and doesn’t want to, either. What he wants is sensible gun reform laws and a ban on assault weapons. We had an assault weapons ban for 10 years, from 1994 to 2004, and the republic didn’t come crashing down during that time.

Greene’s tweet was met with resistance from others on Twitter.

Capitol Insurrection GOP January 6

Iraq War Vet Humiliates Marjorie Taylor Greene For Visiting Jailed J6 Rioters

Earlier today, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) visited some of the January 6, 2021 rioters who attacked the Capitol and led to the death of five people on that horrific day.

Afterwards, Greene issued a statement in which she praised herself and tried to suggest that the J6 prisoners were somehow being treated unfairly, despite the fact that they participated in an insurrection against the U.S. government at the behest of failed former president Donald Trump.

“We toured the DC Jail today and held a press conference outside the jail after our tour. This man assaulted everyone there by blowing a whistle as loud in as he could in other’s ears and tried multiple times to assault me and other members. My staff and others like this very nice lady did their best to block him. He needs to be arrested and we tried to have him arrested. My staffer called 911 and reached an automated recording for several minutes before reaching a human. Reported the guy. She then asked the jail to send out an officer and they refused. This is just another example out of a million others that the left does repeatedly without accountability. Funny thing is the same guy was outside our press conference at the DOJ in 2021. Sounds like a direct threat, ‘Don’t touch! Touch you die!'”

Not long after Greene made her pilgrimage to the jail in Washington, D.C., Retired U.S. Army Sergeant, Kristofer Goldsmith, an Iraq War veteran, ripped the congresswoman apart on MSNBC.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, and the rest of those far-right Republicans care about January 6 defendants exactly as much as they care about veterans.”

Goldsmith added:

“We are great photo ops for them; we are great fundraising tools for them. But I know from walking around Capitol Hill for years and trying to talk to Republicans about improving veterans’ healthcare, that they will not get involved in anything meaningful, like criminal justice reform. They’re going to send out a bunch of emails, they’re going there to get a bunch of donations from their rubes, and those people are going to still sit in prison because they broke the law.

“That’s where they belong, and they are being treated with due process the way that anybody else who breaks the law is going to get treated. So, you know, I am disappointed to see them do that, but these people disappoint me every day, so it’s not a surprise.”

If you rioted at the Capitol on Jan. 6, you’re a domestic terrorist and deserve to be treated accordingly. Don’t like it? Then you’d better stay home the next time some American Hitler urges you to march.

Hakeem Jeffries Hilariously Swats Down MT Greene’s Prediction About Trump’s Political Future

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) only needed a few works to completely destroy Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) prediction that if failed former president Donald Trump is indicted, it will win the 2024 election in a landslide.

Appearing on the debut episode of the Sunday MSNBC show “Inside with Jen Psaki,” Jeffries was asked by the host, “I want to read you one more tweet. This is from Marjorie Taylor Greene where she said, ‘If the Manhattan DA indicts Donald Trump, he will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win.'”

“Do you agree with the notion that indictment would help Donald Trump politically?” Psaki asked.

Jeffries responded:

“The last person that I’m going to lean into for political insight is from Marjorie Taylor Greene. Although I should note that she has become one of the most important House Republicans in the Congress and, for all we know, could be on the presidential ticket as the vice presidential candidate for Donald Trump.”

The New York Democrat continued, “That is how important she has become to the extreme MAGA Republican House majority in the Congress right now but that is also one of the reasons why the American people should be concerned.”

Greene, it may interest you to know, has spent most of the weekend rage tweeting about Trump’s pending indictment in Manhattan. Here’s a sampling of some of the vitriol she’s been posting:

“We don’t need to protest about the Communists Democrat’s planning to arrest Pres Trump and the political weaponization of our government and election interference. These idiots are sealing their own fate in 2024 because the silent majority has two feelings right now about the current regime. Fear and anger. That is the most powerful combination when election time comes. And the Democrats are driving that force with their own corrupt actions.”

“We must bring in the Biden DOJ officials who have been coordinating with the Manhattan DA to testify. And subpoena all of it. We must end the weaponization of government power for politics.”

Marge is upset because her cult leader may be arrested. Maybe she needs to move to Moscow so she can be closer to her other savior.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Pitches A Fit Over Trump’s Possible Arrest: ‘Enough Of This!’

For those still doubting that failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump will actually be indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg next week, it seems that we have a confirmation of such an event from the disgraced ex-president and one of his most deranged acolytes in Congress.

Early this morning, Trump posted two enraged all-caps rants on his failing Truth Social site in which he suggested the big day will be Tuesday, March 21.

“OUR NATION IS NOW THIRD WORLD & DYING. THE AMERICAN DREAM IS DEAD! THE RADICAL LEFT ANARCHISTS HAVE STOLLEN OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AND WITH IT, THE HEART OF OUR OUR COUNTRY. AMERICAN PATRIOTS ARE BEING ARRESTED & HELD IN CAPTIVITY LIKE ANIMALS, WHILE CRIMINALS & LEFTIST THUGS ARE ALLOWED TO ROAM THE STREETS, KILLING & BURNING WITH NO RETRIBUTION. MILLIONS ARE FLOODING THROUGH OUR OPEN BOARDERS, MANY FROM PRISONS & MENTAL INSTITUTIONS. CRIME & INFLATION ARE DESTROYING OUR VERY WAY OF LIFE…”

“NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!”

A couple of hours later, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted her own angry screed on Twitter, suggesting that she wants to defund the Justice Department if Trump is indicted in Manhattan, even though the DOJ has nothing to do with the New York case.

“If the Manhattan DA indicts President Trump, he will ultimately win even bigger than he is already going to win. And those Republicans that stand by and cheer for his persecution or do nothing to stop it will be exposed to the people and will be remembered, scorned, and punished by the base. President Trump did nothing wrong and has always fought for the American people, and we all know it, which is why we love him. And any Republican who thinks the Democrats will stop this madness once Trump is out of the way is fooling themselves. Weaponized Government and Political Persecution are new chapters in their playbook and they will use those methods against anyone who stands in their way. And we are absolutely fed up with the two-tiered justice system or rather INJUSTICE system in America. The base has had enough of Republicans that won’t stand up for the people and against the Democrats war against Trump, his admin, his supporters, and traditional values.”

She then added:

“We must bring in the Biden DOJ officials who have been coordinating with the Manhattan DA to testify. And subpoena all of it. We must end the weaponization of government power for politics.”

“Biden’s DOJ is coordinating with the Democrat Manhattan DA to arrest Donald Trump, the top Republican Presidential candidate for 2024, and charge him with a fake outdated misdemeanor charge. It’s ALL FOR POLITICS! This is what they do in communists countries to destroy their political opponents! Republicans in Congress MUST subpoena these communists and END this! We have the power to do it and we also have the power to DEFUND their salaries and departments! Enough of this! The American people deserve a government that actually works for them NOT a bunch of self centered communists who bail out their donors, protect the elites, and weld their power to punish their political enemies!”

Is Trump going to be indicted? Yes. Next Tuesday in Manhattan. It’s a done deal, and the proof is in the social media postings from him and his three-toed disciple.
