Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg on Thursday urged House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to denounce Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) after video surfaced of the House member harassing him on his way to the Capitol just weeks after the shooting occurred in 2018.
McCarthy lacks the ethics, the morals, and the spine to do the right thing.
A Republican trifecta.
Greene isn’t just a Qanon cultist, she’s an asshole.
No words.
What a walking, talking embarrassment. I don’t care who you are or what the issue is, stalking someone who is minding their own business and pushing your views down their throat is just rude. Harassing a mass-shooting victim about gun rights and calling them cowardly should be worthy of being ostracized from any civil society, let alone a representative body. My God, what is it going to take?
Please just remember this happened before she was elected to Congress. So what can McCarthy doin regards to her behavior to Hogg in 2018? What the press can do this their job, and demand answers from her and her spokesman.
As for her most recent tweets and FB post McCarty can act. and use the Hogg harassment as an example of a pattern of behavior with her.
So what was MTG doing in DC at the same time has David Hogg and Fred Guttenberg? In the video we hear her ask Hogg “How come you got appoints with “X” amount of Senators, and I can’t get even one”-or something to that effect.
What was she doing before she moved to the district she is now representing. Did she just move, or did the whole family?
Some of this background info is out there I’m sure, but it’s time to expose more of who MTG is and what she was before getting elected.
Unless and until Taylor Greene’s statements and conduct are publicly rejected by Republican leadership she cannot be termed an outlier much less a RINO; she is representative of her party. Full stop.

TPM reached out to McCarthy for comment.
Funny how that line was included but there was no follow up because we know McCarthy would never actually respond. By far the most cowardly member of the GOP. I’m sure Trump will be spitting in his face and whining while McCarthy apologies and begs for monetary support (he will get none) this weekend.
Even though she has made many enthusiastic, maybe even over enthusiastic comments about violent neo-Nazis, even though she claims that the copy of Mein Kampf on her bedstand isn’t really hers, and even though her twitter feed is filled with numerous vicious slurs about Jews, the National Jewish Republican Committee will endorse her again.

Don’t forget to add to your list his(McCarthy) visit to see Trump.“lacks the ethics, the morals, and the spine”
I’m not even sure that Mike Pence or member(s) of Congress being assassinated / held hostage / assaulted during the 1/6 Insurrection would have resulted in any different attitude. Five people died that day, including a police officer and two more Capitol Police Officers have since committed suicide over what happened and this is the milquetoast response by the GOP. Coddling insurrectionists is insane.
MTG doesn’t like losers who get shot in school. Why would anyone have a problem with that?
Your MTG may vary.
Paging Kevin McCarthy…
This article lost me at "Demands McCarthy Denounce Greene…"
Hogg and Guttenberg are both valiant, but their verve is wasted on McCarthy.
McCarthy is going to Trump to beg…For him to do so is bebasing oneself in a feat of masochistically epic self-shaming. McCarthy is hopeless, hapless and clueless…
Republicans have no gag limit. What Trump said about shooting someone on 5th Avenue without repercussions is now extended to all Republicans. It is a measure of how terrified they are that their house of cards will collapse if they even admit to one single instance of wrongdoing by a member.
McCarthy is enroute to FL today to kiss Donnie’s ass and to seek forgiveness for his indiscretions. McCarthy is weak, stupid, and beholden, totally lacking in ethics or morals.
Make her publicly renounce those positions. If she doesn’t, Steve King her ass.
GOP: “How can we have unity when people keep paying attention to our violence, paranoia, threats, and hatred of democracy?”
Call me an optimist, but I don’t think this wacko is going to be in congress very long.
