Batshit crazy Greene stoops even lower

Greene revives QAnon smear in attack on GOP senators backing Jackson's SCOTUS nomination

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Monday launched an outlandish attack against three Republican senators who support Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, accusing them of somehow being “pro-pedophile.”

The line of attack echoes Greene’s past support for the QAnon conspiracy theory that alleged former President Donald Trump was working to take down a powerful cabal of child traffickers typically portrayed as the Democratic elite. Believers in the debunked belief frequently allege that their political opponents support pedophiles.

Earlier on Monday, Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said they would be joining fellow Republican Susan Collins of Maine in supporting President Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court in a final vote expected later this week.

The accusation that Jackson had been light in her sentencing of child porn offenders originated with Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and was a running theme throughout her confirmation hearings despite repeated analyses showing that Jackson’s rulings were within the mainstream of her fellow judges. Even the conservative National Review magazine called the allegation against Jackson “meritless to the point of demagoguery.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Condemned For One Of Her Vilest Tweets Yet

Conspiracy theory-endorsing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) faced fierce backlash on Monday for a vile attack on three fellow Republicans.

Greene used her congressional account to tweet the baseless accusation that GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Susan Collins (Maine) and Mitt Romney (Utah) are “pro-pedophile” because they said will vote to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.

During Jackson’s Senate confirmation hearings, GOP lawmakers falsely accused Brown of being lenient in cases involving photos of child sexual abuse.




Greene’s personal profile was nixed from Twitter in January for repeated violations of the platform’s coronavirus misinformation policies. Critics said they reported her latest outrageous post to the company.

“Stoops even lower,” or the like, was editorial laziness. Yet time after time when it comes to MGT and that other one, I’m never let down.
