“So I do say to Marjorie Taylor Greene: please, you know what, find your conscience,” Schulman said. “You’re a mother — man up or woman up, whatever you want to say — and tell the truth. Tell everybody what you told me.”

Her son was taken from her.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, mother of three, does not have the vaguest idea.

MTG is a coward. She didn’t have the courage of her supposed convictions when facing this bereaved mother, and she’ll never, ever admit to doing what she publicly did.

i watched this segment live earlier today, it was totally heart wrenching. and the juxtaposition between Greene and this bereaved articulate mother is just so plain. We are better than they are

If a lottery was held with the grand prize of getting to beat. the. shit. out. of. MTG, I’d sure like to win it.
(Yeah, yeah, yeah…those things don’t exist so, ain’t happening.)

I believe Alex Jones was successfully bludgeoned into submission on this issue via lawsuit. What’s good for the goose is good for the malignant dingleberry.

Thank you. I believe that we are better, too. At least we don’t deny people the dignity of their own grief for the loss of their loved ones.

All this does for MTG is make her look crass, which in T**** followers’ eyes make her look tough. To the rest of the world she just look craven, and needy for attention.

So I took a little look-see at her House page and under issues she has 8 topics listed, and of those 8 there are directions to contact her staff for 5 of them. Under 2 of them 2A and Protecting the Unborn there is a sentence. Now I realize that this is template that any member of Congress can use, but someone who was elected to Congress not to have something up in each of the categories is just lazy. Why hasn’t she hired a PR person?

Why should Greene ever come clean? She has successfully conned millions into believing her. She is thereby the recipient of numerous cash donations. And, she is the new Sarah Palin of the right. (Oh, right – she should because ethics & morals – as if that could mean anything to a con-woman.)

As to the suckers who fall for her lies, the Turkish proverb fits them: “When the axe came into the forest, the trees said: the handle is one of us.”

If you look in a mirror and say “Marjorie Taylor Greene” three times, Irma Grese appears.

It’s the media’s fault for reporting those things she said that she now denies having said. Just like Trump questioned whether that was his voice on the Access Hollywood tape.

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Marjorie Taylor Greene disavowing conspiracy theories is about as likely as Hannibal Lecter disavowing cannibalism.

The problem is Greene isn’t a fictional character like Lecter.

Mother of three what? Aliens with acid for blood? Rabid hyenas? CHUDs?

Liked for CHUD reference.

This tells me that she knows what she is saying is bullshit.

At the same time, Ossoff and Warnock represent the same state.

We live in interesting times…and it breaks my heart…while giving hope all at the same time.

I listened to this and wept for this mother and her loss. Even though still grieving the loss of her son, she was able to have a conversation with Taylor-Greene - a woman who spouted lies about the death of Linda Beigel Schulman’s son. I doubt Taylor-Greene will be moved to issue any public statement disavowing previous statements. The party that continues to support Taylor-Greene and facilitated her election should be ashamed.
