After all, who else could foment an INSURRECTION three days after being sworn in?

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA): "I'm not ready to draw a conclusion and as a member of the committee, we're reserving judgment until we hear the evidence but the rule that members played that she's certainly a person of interest to our investigation, she and others who played a role in January 6th."

Nobody gives a Schiff about his investigation. Maybe some homers or some rabid anti-Trumpers, but America has certainly moved on and I don't think it will be an issue this coming mid-term, no matter how big the Schiff-show is...

Is this stuff accumulating votes for the left? I get that the bloodthirsty rabble in that tribe become engorged at the idea of violent retribution against Jan 6 doofuses, but their votes are in the bag anyway.
Education is extremely important.

I don't think so. They're preaching to the choir.

Perhaps a “useful idiot”?
Even so, three days after being sworn in? Geez, I'd send her after Putin. She'd bag and tag him within the week...

Representative Greene is the subject of an effort to have her disqualified from running for reelection on grounds found in the 14th Amendment, which allows for such disqualification of candidates who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the United States or who have “given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.” I do not doubt that Representative Greene is morally disqualified from office, but the question in front of us is a legal one — and we cannot defend the rule of law by abandoning the rule of law.
Was the January 6 sacking of the Capitol an insurrection? In the common sense, yes. But there is less of a case that it constitutes an insurrection legally — or, rather, less of a case that this has been established legally.
The United States has a federal insurrection statute, and no one involved in the events of January 6 has been charged under it. They have been charged with assault, trespassing, unlawful possession of firearms, theft of government property, and many other things along those lines, instead. In my view, there are very good grounds for treating January 6 as an insurrection under the law — but, apparently, President Joe Biden’s Justice Department does not see things that way. It is very difficult to argue that as a legal matter Representative Greene should be barred from seeking reelection because of her involvement in a crime that — as far as the Department of Justice is concerned — never took place.
If we had functioning political parties — and if the Republican Party a.d. 2022 were not the yellowest, most timorous, most gutless, grasping, worthless, indefensible, and chickensh** political organ the world had ever seen — then Representative Greene might be dealt with at the party level. (Given the practical alternatives, that old “smoke-filled room” is starting to look pretty good.) As it stands, the GOP is entirely incapable of taking a stand even for its own long-term partisan interests, with the top party chieftains believing that a big win in November will allow them to brazen it out and memory-hole the role of its leading figures in Donald Trump’s attempted coup d’état.
What that means is that this one is on you, people of Georgia’s 14th District. Marjorie Taylor Greene should be removed from office in the regular and lawful way: by voting her sorry ass out of there. The country is counting on your patriotism and your self-respect. Don’t let us down.

Seems like she is the Republican "version" of that crazy Democratic representative from New York.
The other side loves to hate her.
Bring up either of their names and the other side can raise money

Just yesterday a coworker and I were saying how it's easy to be reminded that the public elects our officials, for better or worse. In the latter's case, MTG and AOC are good reminders.

Might as well try I guess. Nothing else is accumulating votes for them anyway.
