Maybe it’s well past time complaining of MTG’s comments and making her accountable for them?
“So Congresswoman Taylor Greene why don’t explain further how rounding up Jews-religious and ethnic distinction is synonymous with those antivaxxers?”

Americans are horrified by MTG.
Deplorables worship it

I don’t even have words to describe how disappointing it is to see this hyperbolic speech that frankly amps up and plays into a lot of the antisemitism that we’ve been seeing in our society today

Disappointing, but hardly surprising.

Wearing a yellow star got you killed.
Wearing a mask helps save your life.

Not a hard distinction to grasp.

For the rational and sentient…

Maybe the judge who ordered the competency evaluation for Qanon Shaman Boy could expand the order a bit? These are the statements of someone who may be a danger to herself or others.

MTG may need a hefty dose of the 'rona to give her perspective.
Like with everything else, many reactionaries can’t seem to learn or respect someone else’s POV until they’ve gone through it.
Unfortunately, however, even that’s not necessarily enough with the 'rona.

You folks in Georgia should know I don’t want to get down on you all, but DAMN! This is what represents you? ???

Great timing, Mean-Girl Taylor Greene! Spew anti-Semitic bile just when all your QOP colleagues are doubling down on support for Israel and trying to distinguish themselves from Democrats who take a more balanced view of what’s been happening in Gaza.

Colossal stupidity. And she a “future star” of the party, according to the former guy.

OT, but not entirely. Susan Collins went on the Sabbath Gasbags and stated the she supports a Jan. 6 commission but will vote against the house bill. Why? Because she thinks Repubs should get equal staff and the work should be complete by year-end - both things that are in the bill. So, total bullshit, and lying through her teeth. And, apparently, no pushback from Stephanopoulos.:unamused:

I’m afraid that for the future well-being of this country, it will be increasingly incumbent on Republicans to sufficiently police their own.

I’m not optimistic.

Honestly, I do not see how Democrats can ever counter this shit. When you’re fighting a side that has no shame, no holds, no boundaries whatsoever, it’s a futile and never-ending battle. Sure, Chuck Schumer could stand to be more ruthless, I suppose - but we will never go where they’ve gone - for better or worse. End of story. We need new strategies - don’t ask me what.

Of course she is: she’s learned to try and make the trite and tangential the center of discussion.

"I think any rational Jewish person didn't like what happened in Nazi Germany & any rational Jewish person doesn't like what's happening with overbearing mask mandates."

I bet she’s been vaccinated. An awful lot of these blowhards are all for others sacrificing their health and safety for the party line but they’re not about to risk anything themselves.

If, in a hypothetical future repressive regime, the tee vee talking heads were accused of being a journalist, they could easily get the case dismissed for lack of evidence.
