Congress Strips Marjorie "Karen" Greene Of Her Committees!

Far-right lawmaker stripped of her committee assignments.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

PROTECT BLACK WOMEN! 

WEAR A DAMN MASK! SAVE A LIFE!

HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE NOW!

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

As usual, Republicans and conservatives prove to be shameless hypocrites. The amount of white privilege and phony outrage being cranked up by these politicians and agitators is pathetic. Do they not know what we're facing fight now.

We have a global pandemic that killed over 500,000 Americans. We have civil unrest due to the previous president's inflammatory rhetoric. We have gun violence that's gone out of control.

We are seeing racism everyday from white people refusing to wear facial masks, getting angry over policies, calling the law on people of color and using entitlement as an excuse to not face accountability for one's actions.

The impact is felt. We have a mission to make sure that the current president lives up to the promises he said he will do for the Black community.

Oh by the way, conservatives: You don't get to say Blue Lives Matter. 

You don't support police reform nor accountability. You support moving on. We're tired of moving on to the next tragedy. This shit needs to stop now. 

The Republican Party talks a mean game about being the "party of law & order" but in reality, they want to enforce law on the oppressed. 

Adam Kinzinger bucks his party for embracing QAnon and white nationalism.

Republicans cater to dirty cops, crooked politicians, crooked religious leaders, white nationalists, anti-government extremists, Karens and conspiracy nuts.

Most of the Democrats and 11 Republicans stripped Georgia Republican of her committee assignments. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a controversial freshman lawmaker who advocated violence against Democrats is denied an opportunity to sit on a committee. 219 Democrats with 11 Republicans voted to formally condemn and strip Greene from holding any position of power. Greene along with 198 Republicans including the Minority Leader voted to not strip her of her committees.

The Georgia lawmaker from the 14th Congressional District (is) a white nationalist who supports the far-right fringe nonsense called Q'Anon. 

In a series of videos that surfaced over the past two weeks, it shows Greene harassing March for Our Lives co-founder David Hogg as he was walking towards the U.S. Capitol.

She has demanded Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) be forced to swear on the bible. The two lawmakers are Muslim and swore on a Q'uran. The two and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) were on the a Facebook meme with Green holding an AR-15 towards them.

Greene also believes former president Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton be hanged for the Benghazi attack and the treatment of former president Donald J. Trump.

She had been campaigning on being the antidote to the Squad. She said that she would proudly buck Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the current House Speaker.

The Republicans held their post-election conference. They were seriously discussing the outcome of top Republican leader Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY). Cheney and nine Republicans voted to impeach the 45th President of the United States. The Republicans were angry at Cheney. 

She was the most high profile member of Republican leadership to support impeachment.

Cheney managed to survive an usurping from Republicans. The Republicans secretly voted to keep Cheney as top leader of the party. Only 61 Republicans (which makes 1/3 of the party) voted against her. I can imagine that Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Rep. Laura Boebart (R-CO), Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT), Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) were voting to strip Cheney.

Liz Cheney survives an usurping from her fellow Republicans.

Cheney condemned Greene but voted with the Republicans to keep her committees.

Freshman lawmaker Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) also voted with the party to keep her committee. She made a bogus claim that Ocasio-Cortez lied about being in the U.S. Capitol fearing for her life. 

While on MSNBC, Mace said that she literally was afraid that the rioters would enter her offices. She was slammed by the New York lawmaker for switching the script while appearing on the far-right propaganda network Fox.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) was the leading voice in the Republican Party willing to take his party to task. He supported the impeachment of Trump and the stripping of Greene's committee assignments. He along with 10 lawmakers in potential swing districts sided with the Democrats on condemning her actions.

Greene on her part, apologized but blamed the junk food media and resorted to comments made by fellow lawmakers who get endless loops on Sean "Screwball" Hannity's shitshow. 

“I was allowed to believe things that weren’t true and I would ask questions about them and talk about them,” Greene said, “and that is absolutely what I regret.”

The Georgia lawmaker, who has faced intense bipartisan criticism for her past comments, claimed in a speech on the House floor that she does not believe in a number of the conspiracies she had peddled before taking office. But she offered no specific apology in her latest remarks and spent a significant chunk of her speech decrying the mainstream media and “cancel culture.”

“I’m a very regular American,” Greene said. She later added: “I never said any of these things since I have been elected for Congress.”

She walked back her support of QAnon, the outlandish internet-born conspiracy that former President Donald Trump was engaged in a secret battle to root out a cabal of criminal political elites made up of Democrats, Hollywood insiders and the “deep state.”

Believers in the conspiracy were among those seen at the Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol by a swarm of Trump’s supporters.

Freshman Nancy Mace is blasted by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for talking shit on Fox News while cowering on CNN and MSNBC. Ocasio-Cotez said that Mace shared the same fears during the insurrection.

Greene in 2017 had reportedly called QAnon “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles out.”

But on the House floor Thursday, Greene said that by 2018, “When I started finding misinformation, lies, things that were not true in these QAnon posts, I stopped believing it.”

Greene’s speech addressed a litany of her most-criticized past remarks, including her reported suggestion that some school shootings had been staged.

“School shootings are absolutely real,” she said Thursday. “I know the fear that David Hogg had that day,” she said, referring to the survivor of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, whom she had previously mocked.

“I also want to tell you, 9/11 absolutely happened,” said Greene, who in 2018 reportedly expressed support for the conspiracy theory that a plane did not hit the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. “I definitely want to tell you, I do not believe that it’s fake.”

Greene is a symptom of that annoying screwball's rhetoric. Sean Hannity, the official softball of the Donald J. Trump legacy has been a full-fledged supporter of Q'Anon. He literally wore the Punisher pin and a triad American flag pin to show his support for the extremists.

Her rhetoric has sparked intense conversations within the Republican Party.  Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) had a talk with Greene and forced her to issue a half-hearted apology to those who were offended by her comments.

The Republicans offered her a standing ovation when she made that phony apology behind closed doors. The Republicans managed to stay the course on their partisan gridlock despite losing the presidency and Congress.

As I stated in my previous post, the Republicans and their allies are resorting to whataboutism. We will not forget the events of 1/6/2021. The Republican Party wants us to move on from their reckless behavior, their unpopular president and the shameless hypocrisy.
