Marjorie Taylor Greene is so much an embarrassment that she even shocks Republicans. And it’s really hard to shock Republicans. After all, look what all they’ve condoned in the former president.
Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent put it well Thursday when he wrote: “Republican leaders were shocked, shocked to learn” about revelations that the freshman North Georgia U.S. representative in 2018 and 2019 approved of calls for the “execution” of Democrats. “They are so troubled by this that they plan to sit her down and give her a slap on the wrist with a little plastic ruler.”
Actually there’s not even a little plastic ruler involved. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy plans to have a “conversation” with Greene.
If any of us suggested such violence as “a bullet to the head” toward the Speaker the the House or any other politician, the FBI would be knocking on our doors. And rightly so.
Greene is dangerous to democracy. She also has supported QAnon conspiracy theories about a global pedophilia cabal and she stalked victims of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting and suggested they “staged” the tragedy.
