Welcome to what is the 915th original profile here at “Crazy/Stupid Republican of the Day”, where we’ll be discussing Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is sadly likely to become the next U.S. House Representative from Georgia’s 14th Congressional District since her Democratic opponent in her traditionally conservative-leaning district, Kevin Van Ausdal, suddenly dropped out of the race on September 11th, 2020. There was already discussion prior to that if Greene, a self-funded construction company owner, could be seated as a member of Congress even when she wins, as her rhetoric is… frankly, the hyperbolic fever dreams of a conspiracy theorist.
Greene is die-hard fan of Donald Trump and has built her political brand over the last few years on bigoted anti-immigrant, Islamophobic, and anti-transgender policy support. She does not have a “chill” setting, having already created a White House petition to impeach Nancy Pelosi (you don’t impeach members of the House) for “treason”, which is, of course, a capitol offense (and one Pelosi certainly hasn’t committed).
We find it more distressing that Greene has posed in photos with Chester Doles, a white supremacist who served a prison sentence for assaulting a black man nearly to death because he saw him in the company of a white woman and who was at one point the leader of the Ku Klux Klan. Greene has dismissed any outrage over the photos as “silly” and “fake news”, but it seems to be quite indicative of a very racist woman.
Greene has, without much prompting, posted videos online where she has conflated the Black Lives Matter unit to the Ku Klux Klan members and Neo-Nazis who marched in Charlottesville, and has voiced her thoughts that African Americans “are held slaves to the Democratic Party”, said she would feel “proud” to see a Confederate monument if she were black because it symbolizes progress made since the Civil War, and believes that “The most mistreated group of people in the United States today are white males”, while black women have it far easier because of affirmative action.
In one of her video rants, Greene says that unemployment — which affects people of color at disproportionately higher rates — is simply the product of “bad choices” and being “lazy”, adding her opinion that African Americans are being held back in society by gangs, drugs, a lack of education, Planned Parenthood and abortions but “not white people.”
“I know a ton of white people that are as lazy and sorry and probably worse than black people. And that has everything to do with their bad choices and their personal responsibility. That is not a skin-color issue.”
Greene described Islamic nations under Sharia law as places where men have sex with “little boys, little girls, multiple women” and “marry their sisters” and “their cousins.” After the 2018 midterms saws the most diverse class of House freshmen, she deemed it “an Islamic invasion of our government” and that “anyone that is a Muslim that believes in Sharia law does not belong in our government.” She had a video at the time where she referred to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar as “that woman out of Minnesota who has got to wear a head covering,” adding that members of Congress should not be able to take the oath of office on a Koran and “You have to be sworn in on the Bible.” Without any irony, she also says “Muslims aren’t held back in any way because the Constitution guarantees equality”, while making the previous argument.
It’s one thing to be a QAnon conspiracy theorist, which Marjorie Taylor Greene is, but it’s another to be able to tie her palling around with a Klan leader as something you’d expect from a woman who in 2018 shared her quite anti-Semitic belief that the secret sex cult that is harvesting hormones to keep themselves young from children they murder was in fact, being run by George Soros and the Rothschilds. Oh, and she also pushes the false conservative narrative that George Soros worked WITH the Nazis, which is flat out disgusting.
She’s also got some gun-related conspiracy theories, furthering one that the Las Vegas shooting massacre was a “false flag” plot to abolish the Second Amendment while also calling one of the student activists from Parkland High School who survived the attack “little Hitler”. But perhaps her love of guns is expressed in more than just conspiracy theories, as only a few weeks ago, she posted a campaign fundraising photo of herself online where she was brandishing an assault rifle with the superimposed images of Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez while dubbing herself “The Squad’s Worst Nightmare”. The ad was offensive enough that even Facebook deleted it as a threat. Which, of course, Greene whined about as if she was the victim for not being allowed to wish gunning down her potential (and likely) future colleagues on the internet, and played dumb about what was clearly incitement to violence.
At this moment, it is very likely that Marjorie Taylor Greene will be roaming the halls of Congress come January. Considering she seems to honestly believe that the folks that will be across the aisle from her are the monsters described in the Qanon conspiracy theory, and if she can’t threaten them, that she’s the victim… Well, we have a feeling we’re going to certainly be busy every year when we update her profile.
Let’s just hope that someone in the Republican Party realizes they should cut bait, rather than follow her absolutely mental lead.
