What an enlightened and well-considered text thread that must have been!

Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall [sic] law.

Who is this guy Marshal, and what does the law say? I see a lot of references to it in Wingnut sites comment sections…

But if she doesn’t remember having texted, it must not have happened. :roll_eyes:

Actually, she said “marshall law”. Because there’s no literacy test for congress.

“In our private chat with only Members, several are saying the only way to save our Republic is for Trump to call for Marshall [sic] law. I don’t know on those things. I just wanted you to tell him,” Greene wrote. “They stole this election. We all know. They will destroy our country next. Please tell him to declassify as much as possible so we can go after Biden and anyone else!”

Her text doesn’t show here suggesting Martial Law. She says “several are saying…”.
As much as I loathe her, I don’t see perjury here.

She “doesn’t know much on” anything. Just another ignoramus who got elected to Congress. Let’s hope she does not repeat that stunt this year.

But but but, she was so busy working on her objections to certifying the election. Oh wait, this was after the cert was completed but remained all-in on a coup.

This kind of text message would make her almost a hero in most of her district. Just sayin’ that it won’t really matter. She’s a shoo-in if the doesn’t get tossed off the ballot.

Always do your criming in writing, preferably electronically. That’s just good sense.
