Never to be outdone in transmitting conspiracy theories, MTG (X link) can read half of a news article and come up with a new one all by herself. Gee, I hope I'm using the correct pronoun there. Maybe "itself" is correct.
She saw an item on Reuters that caught her eye.
A couple of commenters let her know what an idiot she was.
The second one was even more to the point.
Yes, she is a thicko.
The story was about a Ukrainian lady, so all of a sudden, it applies to all Ukrainians.
The lady had been wanted by Interpol since 2020. She was caught in Poland, and everyone wondered why she wasn't in prison in Kazakhstan.
The crimes were committed between 2017 and 2019.
But Marjorie Taylor Greene says that she's been opposed to Ukraine aid from the start and, "This is one of the reasons why."
Does she mean that she's been thinking about kidney trafficking in Ukraine, the whole time, as one of her reasons? She didn't get to the end of the article, apparently, where it says the kidneys were obtained in eight countries.
"A lot of bad things are happening there..." In case you hadn't noticed, it's called a war. Bad things always happen in a war.
"...America should not be involved in any of it."
I'm going to agree there, that the United States should not be involved in the trafficking of organs. But there's more the United States needs to do in its own interest by supporting Ukraine.
Being isolationist at this point does make you a thicko traitor.
I'm surprised that she didn't blame this on George Soros. Yeah, he's an old guy, he could have needed them for himself, all 56 of them.
With all the Republican town hall reports, and how they've stopped doing them, I'm just waiting for Marjorie to do one and see what happens. According to her own House website, she hasn't done one since October 3rd of last year.
Nice to know she's got all this time on her hands to read a Reuters article and come up with a conspiracy theory. Maybe her constituents should do a recall to get her out of office and give her/it a lot more free time.
I went looking for a recall petition, but it turns out recalls are not available options for Representatives or Senators, they can only be expelled. I found one to expel MTG from Congress by Daily Kos on ActionNetwork.org, which has 136,958 signatures so far. There's one on Daily Kos itself that has 98,711 signatures. The one on Action Network reads: Sign the petiton: Congress must expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. The one on Daily Kos reads: Sign and send the petition: Congress must expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for being a direct threat. There's an old one on Moveon.org that is addressed to Kevin McCarthy.
She's been a nutcase for four years, and her constituents still re-elected her last year, so you have to wonder about her voters.
With a 70% white population and 40% rural, I guess we can figure out why she got re-elected. But, with the world of hurt that Trump is causing for white rural America and everybody else, and her extreme devotion to Trump, maybe things will change.
She lives in Rome, Georgia. Maybe she'll be fiddling while Rome burns.
Yesterday, she had to get into the act of supporting Musk and Tesla, seeing as how Trump's infomercial wasn't enough. As chairwoman of the House DOGE subcommittee, which can't exist because DOGE isn't a government agency, but has an acting director of Amy Gleason, and we don't know what Musk is, besides a Nazi. So her precious subcommittee that doesn't exist sent a letter to Pam Bondi:
"I am writing in regards to the recent attacks targeting Elon Musk and Tesla car dealerships, charging stations, and vehicles across the country. These attacks, which seem to involve coordinated acts of vandalism, arson, and other acts of violence, seriously threatened Public safety."
Somebody needs to tell her how Tesla operates. They don't have car dealerships. They only have showrooms. That way Musk gets all the money and the middle men are taken out of it.
She just doesn't like the protesters. The 1500 on January 6th don't count. These protesters are evil because they're targeting Trump's buddy.
Eight House Republicans said in a statement: "We are urging the Department of Justice and the FBI to prioritize an investigation of these attacks." Whoops, drop everything because stopping the protests against Tesla and Musk are more important than real national security matters.
When questioned, Greene's Chief of Staff said, "The attacks are directly in response to DOGE, so of course it falls under the committee. This is political violence meant to deter us from that mission." Of course it does.
But, Marjorie wasn't done. "Reports suggest that groups like Antifa, known for their history of domestic terrorism, including throughout the summer of 2020 following the death of George Lloyd, may be involved in the recent Tesla attacks. I urge the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to prioritize a thorough investigation into these matters."
When Greene's deputy chief of staff was asked what reports she was referring to, there was no response. Big surprise.
Antifa kidneys. That's what we need to do, to solve two problems at once. Rip out their organs and they won't be able to protest anymore. Ukraine will go back to being happy under Russian domination. That's how Marjorie thinks, or when she doesn't.
