U.S. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz set the record straight on Wednesday when he debunked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) recent claims that agents found an “explosive” near the southern border in January.
MTG: My head is full of sand. I am explosive. Therefore ball of sand is explosive! QED! Take that Libs!
Does she ever get tired of being stoopid?
Looks like the classic Brazilian Butt Plug to me. Those cartel guys have all the fun.
Did anyone realistically expect MTG to take back anything she said?
The MAGA doctrine when called out on any claim, regardless of how ludicrous , is to double down. The idea, in line with the classic Frank Lundt tactic, is that once the claim is made, any real facts cited later will be drowned out by the noise.
INCOMING!!!
Later that day, Greene doubled down on Twitter, posting a picture of the alleged explosive device she claimed agents found at the border and argued “the Cartel” was “planting bombs” and “murdering Americans everyday through drugs and crime.”
Yet another use for duct tape.
MTG doesn’t legislate. She preens. She lies. She bloviates. She is attention needy. She is shameless. A better use for duct tape would be to cover her mouth.
If she only knew she was stoopid. Problem is, the stoopidest think they’re the smartest.
She is part of the angertainment industrial complex.
I read that headline initially as MTG was explosive.
Except she’s not so much explosive as she is an incessant, noisy and annoying pressurized gas leak.
Gonna have to take your word for it on that one.
DYM Frank Luntz?
“Today, I testified before the Committee on Homeland Security & it was alleged that Agents found an explosive device near the border,” Ortiz wrote, sharing the same image Greene posted in her tweet. “During a Jan. briefing, leadership was notified that Agents found a duct-taped ball filled with sand that wasn’t deemed a threat to agents/public.”
But despite Ortiz setting the record straight, Greene refused to walk back her false claim, insisting that unnamed Border Patrol agents had told her otherwise.
Claiming to have a bomb, for the purpose of influencing public opinion or policy, is terrorism. Claiming that such a bomb exists, for the same reason, is not much different.
How stupid is she on a scale of one to Tommy Tuberville?
Another lunatic in Congress. The voters in her district must be so proud of her. Bless her heart.
This raises (not begs! never begs!) the question, what is the actual purpose of the aforementioned duct-taped ball on a stick? A throwing missile? A fishing weight? A tschotschke to gift to one’s aunt??
It’s almost a dead heat, except she is louder and in the news almost every day, so I’d giver her the nod.
That’s an explosive device?
Looks like one of Mom’s old lamp stands!
