Marjorie Taylor Greene says people who threaten trans people & drag queens need guns

[Behind the Aegis]

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lamented how people who threaten transgender people and drag queens may lose their guns as states are encouraged to pass red flag laws.

Last week, the Senate passed a bill to reduce gun violence that included a provision to incentivize states to pass red flag laws, which allow judges to temporarily take guns away from people who are determined to be dangerous.

Greene said that this is bad because conservatives who threaten transgender people could be disarmed under such laws. She said that the laws “will be a tool to disarm any gun owner that wants to stop abortion, the trans agenda on kids, mass illegal migration, & big government oppression suffocating our families, faith & freedoms.”

In a series of tweets, Greene said that judges will use “the threat against trans people” and “school boards allowing drag queen school shows” to declare the people making those threats “right wing ‘domestic terrorists’.”

1. She is making her move to climb the ladder and become a contender for the

VP slot should DuhhhSantis get the nomination IMO. She hits all the butttons in a single sentence - guns,gays,immigrants and religion.

2. "right wing 'domestic terrorists'."

Too much talking about Fight Club, Marge. You're one of them.

[Bayard]

3. Didn't she ask TFG for a pardon?

A despicable excuse for a human.

4. Is she saying it's open season to hunt us down?

[The Unmitigated Gall]

5. Of course she does...

Thug, traitor, stochastic murderer.

6. That woman is absolutely nuts

and extremely dangerous.

[SergeStorms]

7. I wish...

she'd shut that cavernous, gaping hole in her face. She's nothing but a loud-mouthed bully who seldom engages her brain before flapping her adipose jowls.

8. How has the FBI not paid her a visit yet?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

9. And I hope she's mostly right ... i.e. it will be an effective tool in doing so ...

At least, when gun owners make illegal threats along these lines, or show up to Pride rallies in the back of U-Haul trailers with their weapons.

Also, fuck you MTG.

[MadameButterfly]

10. They don't want red flag laws because it will disarm them for the civil war they are planning

MTG is just giving us a hint.

[Ohio Joe]

11. Murderous nutjob

WTF... I'd think that shit would get taken down by twitter... Sheesh

[slightlv]

12. With MTG and others of this crowd,

you don't even have to read between the lines. They always say the quiet part out loud!

[Behind the Aegis]

13. Exactly!

Which is why I don't understand the gaslighting from some supposedly in our corner proclaiming we are "overreacting" to recent events. These people are gunning for us...literally, it seems.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

24. None of us are overreacting...

I think our reaction to these calls for violence are fairly spot-on.

14. Treasonous twit.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

15. Seems to me that any reasonable judge would determine that Empty

Greene herself is dangerous.

I sure wouldn't want to be anywhere near that psycho fascist, especially if she had a gun.

16. Seriously at this point, if you're that concerned about having your precious guns being taken away..

They probably should be taken away.

[Norbert]

17. Reported it to Twitter.

[LakeArenal]

18. Wasn't that a (barely) bipartisan bill the Senate passed?

Do I know more about government than Greene?

[Caliman73]

21. You likely do.

It is a VERY VERY low bar though. Not to belittle your knowledge.


Greene is just that much of an idiot. She has do NOTHING substantive in her time in office and is only still there because the district which was carved out for her by gerrymandering, contains mostly idiots like herself.

[budkin]

19. Terrifying thought: She could be president one day

I never would have said it before Trump.

[Caliman73]

20. She is an idiot and morally stupid.

You can advocate against abortion or against expanding the rights of LGBTQ people without making threats that would provide sufficient evidence for a judge to declare you imminently dangerous.

That is what Red Flag laws do. There has to be justifiable information that would render a person to be dangerous in the eyes of a judicial review.

I have sat on proceedings for restraining orders. I have participated in involuntary detentions because of psychiatric emergencies. I have sat in on conservatorship proceedings. All of these are situations where a person's rights are being taken away temporarily. One, there is a right of cross examination and defense. Two, there has to be sufficient evidence pointing to the person's risk of harm to others or themselves.

Greene is likely too unintelligent to understand that she is saying that the only means by which extremist right wingers have of dealing with these rights and policy matters is to use threats of violence.

I personally think that Conservatism is a morally bankrupt ideology that should be relegated to the dustbin of history. I think that adherents to Conservatism are ridiculous, but I would never argue against the ideology by using threats of violence, because I have a functioning brain and can make arguments.

23. I am tired of this succubus and her constant stochastic terrorism

I'm tired of her nonstop diarrhea of the mouth. I'm tired of her ignorance. I'm tired of her hate. I'm tired of her bigotry. I'm tired of her lust of violence. I am tired of her terrorizing people, and then screaming for "protection" when we push back.

This fucking hag has done nothing but spew hate and bigotry toward LGBTQ's - especially the T's - since the day she was sworn in. Hey, Margarine... Remember that day? You took an oath of office. You promised to uphold and protect the Constitution. You should be impeached just for that - because you lied. You never meant that oath. You hate the Constitution. And you have abused your position and power to terrorize innocent people.

I have felt targeted and harassed by this monster from day one. Now I feel like she's trying to make like a Q thug and incite violence against us. I mean, why not? It worked so well for "Daddy T" on January 6. This is their idea of "leadership". Use their position and microphone to create stochastic terror. Now all this "Wah! They're going after me!" and "We need guns!" shit feels like a call for violence.

I reported her ass on Twitter, for all the good it'll do. I know it'll do no good. People like her seem to be above the rules and laws.

If I said the kind of shit she did, I would be arrested. So would most people. I'm tired of her getting away with this. I'm tired of the media giving her a platform for this hate. Lock her the fuck up.

Her big mouth is going to get people killed. She knows it and that's the point of all of this shit too. I'm beyond tired of it. I'm tired of being the target of her hate. I'm tired of being in fear thanks to the shit that spews out of her mouth.

I'd also like to know if Speaker Pelosi can do something about her. I don't know if she can. But if she can fine her, or censure her, or something... Please do. Please, Madame Speaker... Do something. Because it feels like no one else wants to do anything but fuel her fire.

Pretty clear to both of us and others... Yes. Empty Greene is advocating for murder.
