Greene: "I'm not trying to talk down on people with Down's Syndrome.But that's what these people are

Greene uses the term **tard and has no regrets.


* Warning: Offensive Content *

Here's video I found of Marjorie Taylor Greene calling electeds an awful slur used against those with learning disabilities. She then says "I'm not trying to talk down on people with Down's Syndrome. But that's what these people are." Expel Greene.


This is insane. @GOPLeader
put someone who uses the term "Retard" on the education committee?

Putting her on an education committee is a slap in the face to American citizens, also.

Be harder to do that this time. But I'm sure she'd find a way!

I have to wonder what her colleagues who may have children or grandchildren with an intellectual disability think about this. My guess is they don't know, but they sure as hell ought to.

and maybe even the Senate as well. Certainly amongst all them someone's family has been impacted by ID.

She is the face of the GOP today. Since they have welcomed her with open arms then they own her. Look in the mirror and see yourself.

When committee assignments are based on who gaslights the best, this is what we get.

school for the disabled (severe hearing loss, they didn't know then), and now when I hear people still use this disgusting word it truly disturbs / disgusts me.

My retort to her is that she's far worse and that she's a disgusting POS, I don't care if she's a lady. She's a troll that belongs underneath the toll bridge.

My conspiracy nut friend used to say, "its not by mistake, its by design."
Putting her on the education committee, is deliberate, not by mistake, by design.

This is who the GOP is. People should stop fooling themselves that they are better than this.

I would love to slap this woman's head off. Retarded is not a word to use just because you don't agree with someone. You use it because it is real. My daughter is also nonverbal, noncompliant, and cannot walk due to the bones in her feet no being formed correctly. She also has scoliosis which keeps her in pain most of the time. But she has more IQ points than Marjorie Taylor Greene.
