Marjorie Taylor Greene apologizes for her comments in a very Marjorie Taylor Greene way
Since taking office earlier this year, Republican Georgian Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon conspiracy theorist, has been exposed to a number of serious racist and transphobic remarks. Greene’s old Facebook posts showed her glorifying violence against democratic politicians, supporting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and disturbing thoughts about school shootings. In one report, which New York magazine reported earlier this year, Greene suggested that wildfires in California be started in 2018 by space lasers controlled by the Rothschild banking firm, rather than something more likely like climate change. The allegation is rooted in a long history of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the Rothschild family, Vox reports. After Jonathan Chait, author of the NYMag, described Greene’s theory of what he calls ‘Jewish space lasers’, the term did not start to trend on Twitter for long. Now, Greene now returns this comment – but she does not take responsibility for it. Instead, she blames the far-right’s favorite boogeyman, the ‘radical left’. “It’s a story that some leftist ‘journalist’ – he’s an activist – wrote a hit about me and called it ‘Jewish space lasers,'” Greene told Newsmax TV. “You know, the left-wing media, they just lie the same lies over and over again, and they call me an anti-Semite and say I said something like Jewish space lasers, and never did.” Greene told Ami Magazine, which caters to the Orthodox Jewish community, that until recently she did not know the Rothschilds were Jewish – it could just as well have been non-Jewish people who started the wildfires with space lasers. , according to the congressman. She added: ‘It really hurts to be called’ anti-Semitic ‘or’ racist ‘. No one had ever called me that in my life until the left-wing media decided to attack me. Despite her efforts to appear different, Greene is no less of an extremist than she was when she took office. Just this week, Greene voted against the law authorizing violence against women. To explain her voice, she made a transphobic argument on Twitter, writing that the bill would be a violation of ‘girls’ and women’s rights by destroying God’s creation, male and female’. Her office told CNBC on Friday morning that Twitter had suspended her account as a result. Meanwhile, House Democrats are going to suspend her from Congress for “advocating violence against our peers, the speaker and our government,” the Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez, of California, who proposed the resolution Friday, said. In February, the US House voted to remove her from her committee mandates over the statements that support conspiracy theories and advocate violence against other members of Congress. As you can see? How about another R29 goodness, here? Marjorie Taylor Greene hung up a transphobic sign Biden is a police officer about the use of weeds by his staff.
