What follows was copied from the pages of Progressive Eruptions. As we see the GOP moving farther to the pro authoritarian extreme right it becomes more and more prone to lying and conspiracy theories to keep their cultists enthralled, enraged, and in line.
This nation is in a danger zone unlike anything we've witnessed in the last 160 years. What reality is showing us is, simply, that this nation is coming apart at the seams and it is being spurred on by unscrupulous and un American charlatans of division, chaos, and disater.
"Marjorie Taylor Green, the newly elected congresswoman, has supported QAnon, and the disgusting view that the Sandy Hook, Parkland and Las Vegas mass shootings were false flag operations. She has called for Pelosi's assassination.
The more you look at her, the more despicable she appears. She remains seated in Congress, remains likely to be seated on a committee, and remains undenounced by the vast majority of her colleagues. She is one of the more egregious examples of the extent to which the Republican Party has been captured by paranoia, madness and lust for violence. There are many others.
These are the people with whom we are supposed to seek 'unity '. We have a very big problem in this country, and the more it's examined, the bigger it gets:
Survivors of the 2018 mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, are asking congressional Republicans to publicly censure Marjorie Taylor Greene for suggesting the school shooting was a “false flag” and for harassing a teenage survivor on Capitol Hill in 2019.
Greene, the newly elected Georgia congresswoman who is known for her support of the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory, was filmed in March 2019 as she followed 18-year-old David Hogg, one of the students who survived the shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas high school, outside Capitol Hill.
In the clip from 25 March, Greene can be heard calling Hogg a 'coward,' demanding that he explain how the students were able to set up meetings with so many lawmakers, and telling him that she herself was a gun owner. Greene tells Hogg that gun control will not work, and that his classmates would not have been killed if one of the law enforcement officers assigned to guard the school had 'done his job.' 'She later addresses her viewers, echoing false yet frequently spread conspiracy claims that mass shooting survivors and family members of victims are 'crisis actors' and the attacks that killed their loved ones were staged as a plot to pass gun control laws..."
Hopefully instead of showing up and screaming, maybe a troll or two will make the positive case for someone like MTG actually being seated in Congress. This issue has the potential to doom the GOP party. I am sympathetic to that, but this beyond anything I could've dreamed up. A sitting GOP House member, who blames the No Cal fires on a Jewish Laser Beam, claims the Sandy Hook massacre never occurred, calls the Las Vegas massacre a false flag effort and has voiced support for the murder of Speaker Pelosi.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's just what we know today.
Come on guys... tell us why someone like that should be allowed to serve in the US House.
