Majorie Taylor Greene Epitomizes All That Is Stupid About…
Reports abound that right-winger Americans are utterly exhausted by the endless antics of Greene. Known by many as the “queen of chaos,” Greene has angered more fellow wingnut colleagues than Matt Gaetz. As much as we all want to watch as this utterly out-of-her-mind whacko self-destructs, I think we might be overlooking just how deep the capacity for stupid is in our nation.
Greene is beloved among conspiracy theorists. She has openly doubted in official proceedings on the House floor about whether a plane hit the Pentagon on 9/11. Before she was known outside of Georgia, she became infamous for verbally abusing survivors of the 2018 high school shooting in Parkland, Florida. She is a video showing her before she was elected by the people of Georiga (key word here, “before”) pursuing survivor David Hogg like a rabid street urchin, calling him a coward for testifying before Congress. She then looked into the camera and told her future constituents that George Soros paid Hogg to play his role in the false-flag operation at the school — the government planned the event, she tells us, to kill children to take guns away from people.
