In Trump’s own words:
“KEEP PROTESTING — TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price.”
*I mean when you reach the point that MTG is making cogent points…….. Of course she is speaking to morons who follow their leader with the ass kissing devotion of a golden retriever, but then again she was one of them once so is there hope? I really don’t know.*
*Marjorie Taylor Greene has urged fellow MAGA supporters – and other Americans – to “take off their political blinders” [over the death of protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/minneapolis-shooting-alex-pretti-trump-latest-updates-b2907155.html), warning that they are being “incited into civil war.”
“I unapologetically believe in border security and deporting [criminal illegal aliens and I support law enforcement,”](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ice-shooting-minneapolis-alex-pretti-timeline-b2907082.html) Greene wrote on X Sunday, the day after the fatal shooting. “However, I also unapologetically support the 2nd amendment.”
“Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm.”
“There is nothing wrong with legally peacefully protesting and videoing,” Greene said.”
“The former Congresswoman asked MAGA to consider another scenario in which she replaced the protesters in Minnesota with those who supported the action on January 6, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol.”
“We lost our minds when we watched Biden’s FBI track down and aggressively carry out home invasions and arrest… peaceful J6’ers who walked in the Capitol through open doors,” she said.”
“Imaging [sic] if one of our MAGA independent journalists or even just a MAGA supporter stood in the street outside a J6’ers house while Biden’s FBI carried out a law enforcement operation, home invasion, and arrest.”
“Then Biden’s FBI goes to the MAGA guy videoing it all and shoves a woman with him to the ground and sprays them with bear spray then throws the MAGA guy to the ground as MAGA guy was trying to help the woman off the ground. Then Biden’s FBI beats MAGA guy on the ground, disarms MAGA guy, and then shoots him dead.”
“What would have been our reaction? Both sides need to take off their political blinders. You are all being incited into civil war, yet none of it solves any of the real problems that we all face, and tragically people are dying.”
I will never understand the mind switch of MTG. She consistently spread some of the cruelest and most false information consistently. And now she starts to publicly speak information that is true. It just shows that most republicans 100% know they spread false information and use the power of human conformity within a group to progress those false ideas.
Should be common sense that this was horrible. Yet there’s people who are still defending this evil. Glad she’s speaking out, broken clock..
When you’ve lost MTG, you know you’ve gone too far.
Welcome to the right side of history
Civil War > Releasing Epstein files.
The 2A is not about giving citizens the right to have guns for hobby or sport, not even to defend their property. The 2A is literally for protecting a “free state”. The 2A is literally for what is happening under the Trump administration.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
> Worst person in the world makes a good point
Can you imagine how fucked up the Epstein files are that MTG was scared straight out of lunacy?
Says the Rep who wanted a National Divorce.
OMG, when this bitch becomes the voice of reason, you know we’re cooked. Signs of the Apocalypse for $500 Alex.
They always grow a spine after leaving Congress don’t they?
She’s a vile, disgusting woman who assuredly is doing this all to position herself better in a post Donald Trump political landscape…
…but I’m all for her trying to talk sense into MAGAts. She can fuck off forever after that, but she’s one of the few people they may listen to for a minute. These people live in bubbles and rarely do sense and reason penetrate that bubble.
Lol don’t fall for her sympathy (read her entire post) she’s still sticking to the narrative that the Jan 6 insurrectionists were “peaceful” and that Biden overstepped his authority by arresting those folks.
I’m not fan of MTG and truly believe she is one of the worst humans to walk the earth. But she isn’t wrong here and often if you can see past her absolutely terrible takes on everything and the fact she spreads hate like I do lawn fertilizer she is consistent when it comes to hating government and being a populist. So she can be right about this and you can still believe she is a piece of shit.
We have lost the plot when I can find more common ground with MTG.
Jesus Christ. You know things are grim when MTG is the voice of reason 😭
Who is this and what have they done with the real MTG?
What a fucking timeline we’re living in
MTG has jumped ship. She’s still stupid and dangerous. But she is hedging her bets on being the leader of the new conservative movement when MAGA eventually destroys itself.
When MTG comes out as the voice of reason, you know shit is pretty messed up.
It’s scary Twilight Zone type stuff when Margie Greene says something that actually makes sense!
When mtg is on the right side the gop has lost it
“worst person you know makes valid point.”
until she apologizes for her past conduct, denounces the GOP, moves to impeach, and spends the rest of her life atoning, fuck her, too
Too bad she was such a big contributor to the shit hole the US has fallen into in previous years.
When *Marjorie Taylor Greene* is sounding like the voice of reason, things are deeply wrong.
Did MTG have an anti-stroke?
I hate she speaks with more conviction than 90% of Dems. I hate it so much.
I still wouldn’t trust her as far as I could throw her but I… gulp… Can’t really disagree. She could have left and disappeared but she’s still talking shit. Strange times… Strange times indeed…
