Warped statement made by my US Congressional Rep, Marjorie Taylor Greene

Congressional Democrats Threaten Yet Another Coup Attempt Against President Donald Trump
January 11, 2021
Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JANUARY 8, 2021

Washington D.C. -- Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene released the following statement on the Democrat threat of Impeachment:

“For the entire four years of the greatest Presidential term of our lifetime, Democrats led by Speaker Pelosi and radical Socialists in her party attempted coup after coup against President Donald Trump.

Whether it was threatening to remove the President with phony 25th Amendment attacks, ridiculous Russian collusion conspiracy theory lies, or false criminal accusations about a perfect phone call with the Ukrainian Prime Minister, Democrats tried to overturn the 2016 election because they simply couldn’t handle the results.

Not only have the radicals in the Democrat Party tried to throw out the will of the American people, they have attacked anyone who dares support this President.

Everyone remembers the last four years of political censorship by the Silicon Valley Cartel targeting President Trump and his millions of supporters. Everyone remembers the occupation of the Senate office buildings by the Communist Women’s March screaming lies about Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Everyone remembers the harassment of Republicans including Senator Rand Paul, who was surrounded by a violent Black Lives Matter mob in the streets of Washington, DC. And, of course, everyone remembers the entire year of domestic terrorism conducted by Antifa / BLM militants, and championed by Democrat elected officials.

Now, 12 days before the 2021 Presidential Inauguration, these same Democrats, following their marching orders from the activist spokesmen in the Fake News Media, are launching another lie-filled assault on our Republic by threatening to impeach our duly-elected President, yet again.

Speaker Pelosi’s pursuit of impeachment will not “heal and unite” this nation as Joe Biden has called for in speeches. Another coup attempt will only further inflame half of the country.

This Hail Mary attempt to remove President Trump is another attack on the Silent Majority that Democrats have always looked down upon.

I have a message for Democrats, including Joe Biden: the time of demeaning and destroying conservative Americans simply for their beliefs has come to an end.

The new generation of MAGA Republicans will not back down to your threats. We will not back down from the smear campaigns from the Enemy of the American People, the Fake News. And we will not be silenced by Big Tech who wants to end free speech.

We will stand up and defend the 75 Million Americans who you are trying to cancel and ruin the lives of for daring to reject your Marxist ideology.

President Trump taught us how to defend our values.

We aren’t going away. We will never give up.

America First. Always.”

What about the “smearing” of human feces on the walls of the capitol by her “silent majority”

Do Rs get put through a course in propaganda before they can be sworn in? They are experts at Goebbels techniques.

The M$M needs to call out this kind of RWBS every single time. Media needs to demand she answer with details. Then they need to tell her what she's describing is (probably) a lie and definitely not a coup attempt.

No both sides nonsense on the treachery. The scales are tipped because Rs have piled up a mountain of BS on their side! It is not fair to balance the scales by having the media dump a bunch of crap on the Dem's side!

Rs are blatant liars and hypocrites and that needs to be exposed.

Comparing the shout down during the frat boy's confirmation hearing to last Wednesday.
Complete ignores some obvious differences:
1. SCOTUS nominations are public. Attendance by the public is encouraged. EC certification is not a debate involving the public. That's why the building was close. One event, people were invited. The other, they were trespassing.
2. Shouting is not the same as breaking & entering.
3. Nobody brought handcuffs & tactical gear to the Kavanaugh hearing.
4. Nobody died at that SCOTUS hearing.
5. When the shouters became too disruptive, they were told to leave and did.
This is all pretty simple stuff, but completely ignored by these buffoons because it spoils their tantrum.

Remember, Margie the Kook moved because she was too unhinged to be a viable candidate in Newt Gingrich's old district.

She can cause a lot of damage because she's an insurrectionist INSIDE the halls of government.

This isn't a case of people holding different opinions - this is a case of a group of people, divorced from reality, waging war on America.

They are dangerous. They have proven this time and time again.
