Marjorie Taylor Greene indicated support for executing prominent Democrats in 2018 and 2019 before running for Congress

In one post, from January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who, in her eyes, were part of the "deep state" working against Trump.

In one Facebook post from April 2018, Greene wrote conspiratorially about the Iran Deal, one of former President Barack Obama's signature foreign policy achievements. A commenter asked Greene, "Now do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O ???," referring to Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Greene replied, "Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off."


After CNN reached out to Greene, her personal Twitter account posted a statement in which she did not deny that she liked posts and replied to comments but claimed that many people have run her Facebook page.
"Over the years, I've had teams of people manage my pages. Many posts have been liked. Many posts have been shared. Some did not represent my views. Especially the ones that CNN is about to spread across the internet," she wrote.

After Democratic Rep. Jimmy Gomez called on Greene to be expelled from the House for her role in the insurrection, Greene condemned the violence at the Capitol and falsely accused "Antifa/BLM terrorism" and Democratic politicians of stoking the insurrection.
"I fully condemn ALL violence. The Antifa/BLM terrorism funded on ActBlue rests with Democrat accomplices like @CoriBush @Ilhan @KamalaHarris @AOC @timkaine & many more... Those who stoke insurrection & spread conspiracies have blood on their hands. They must be expelled," she tweeted.

Last week Greene faced calls to resign from the survivors of the Parkland shooting survivors after Media Matters reported she agreed with comments calling the 2018 shooting a "false flag" operation, which refers to acts that are designed by perpetrators to be made to look like they were carried out by other individuals or groups.
CNN's KFile found additional comments from Greene where she called David Hogg, a survivor and activist, "#littleHitler" and spread a conspiracy that he was a "bought and paid little pawn" and actor.

In one speech, promoting the petition, Greene suggested Pelosi could be executed for treason.
"She's a traitor to our country, she's guilty of treason," Greene says in the video, which she posted on Facebook at the time. "She took an oath to protect American citizens and uphold our laws. And she gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally invade our land. That's what treason is. And by our law representatives and senators can be kicked out and no longer serve in our government. And it's, uh, it's a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason."
In another Facebook Live broadcast from inside Pelosi's office on February 22, 2019, Greene suggested the House speaker will "suffer death or she'll be in prison" for her "treason." Notably, Greene never mentions a trial. In another broadcast from later that day, she suggested California Rep. Maxine Waters was "just as guilty of treason as Nancy Pelosi."

Elsewhere on her Facebook page, Greene liked comments that advocated to "arrest" Obama and former Secretary of State John Kerry and one comment that said, "HANG that bitch," referring to either Obama or Kerry or possibly both of them. She also liked a comment that urged for "civil war 2.0" to begin.

"Q is a patriot, we know that for sure," Greene said in a video from 2017, in which she recapped some of Q's predictions and why she supports them.

"There's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles out, and I think we have the president to do it," she said, referring to Trump.



Such a wacko doesn't belongs in Congress,
such a wacko shouldn't be given the power to craft and pass legislation,
such a wacko should represent the American people in Washington,
such a wacko shouldn' be given the opportunity to express her views on national TV.
Such a wacko belongs in a mental health unit.

IMO we have to be careful about being the PC police or quieting minority views... but at some point we do have to draw a line and say some things are not ok. Honestly any politician or media personality praising this Q stuff is playing a dangerous game with low IQ people who might take action based on these crazy beliefs with no basis in reality.

I would not say expelling her is an example of quashing a minority view. She is an actual threat to those around her.

She does not belong in Congress (her constituents disagree);
She has very little power to craft or pass anything - she's marginalizing herself;
She does not represent the American people, just the people of her district in Georgia;
As for media coverage, not much can be done as the media outlets are private entities. She'll be allowed to preach to her choir - not much else.
I'm not doctor so I'm not sure where she belongs. I do know where she does not belong.

I think we're all on board with that, but have they not crossed every single line anyone thought existed and then gone further? It's way past time to stop normalizing the very clearly abnormal. They are fascists and conspiracy theorists and white supremacists who attempted to overthrow your government in a bloody coup. If these people don't need ALL THE FUCKING POLICING, then who does???

Either they didn't knew about her past and that leaves the question wether they would still vote for her or they did knew and that's even more worrying ot think that these people knowingly voted for someone who approved shooting Nancy Pelosy.

she's marginalizing herself;
Is she ? As for now, neither Mitch McConnel nor Kevin McCarthy expressed their disapproval.
My guess is she's quite popular among Trumpers and they don't want to piss them off more than they already did.
My guess is she's gonna become a prominent figure inside the Repoublican party in the near future

I'm still perplexed. I am agreeing with you and you want to argue over what?

Great editorial by the Washington Post. Greene and Boebert would be fired if they worked in a private company.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/01/29/margaret-taylor-greene-workplace/

This sums it up nicely:
A good talking to, which House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) says he will give Greene, is not remotely adequate. Neither is censure, which could hardly shame into good behavior someone who is completely unapologetic for her bad behavior.​
Greene should not be treated as though her despicable and dangerous actions are some breach of etiquette that warrants a warning note on her performance review. She has expressed open hostility toward her co-workers, been clear about her intents and bigotries, and openly endorsed violence against people who are her colleagues.​

It's time to accept that this is what the republican party is now. mccarthy isn't going to pull anyone back into line, the adults in the room aren't going to prevail. Republican elected officials are just going to keep getting crazier.
The sooner the dems and everyone else outside the insanity accept and agree on that fact, the sooner we can start dealing with them appropriately.

You are correct. I initially thought the riots were going to help the Republicans expel Trump and his movement. I was wrong.

Trump meets with McCarthy. Trump supports Greene.

Dang! 70 dead and a thousand missing was a horrific tragedy just a bit over 2 years ago?

Sure thing, mtg, the world class engineers who designed a solar concentrator to beam sunlight directly at the earth never bothered to build in any safety features to avoid exactly this sort of thing happening. This is what happens when idiots try to check the work of intelligent people.

It's a popular American game where internet sleuths pretend to be more knowledgeable than experts.

I wish it were only American. In my opinion conspiracy theorists, flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, trump supporters, basically anybody who subscribes to a belief system that requires ignoring the experts in favor of their own illusions, are all the same, and all a threat to the rest of us.

I hate to say it, but there's no indication that she was elected fraudulently, so I think we need focus more on how she got there more than getting her out.

That's not to say I don't think she's a compete idiot.

Getting her out could be difficult as she appears to reflect her district. The R party would need to de-fund her.
