If liking posts about executing democrats is okay in your book than I guess we have different principles WB.
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.
You don't even try to be fair, M E M.
Speaking for myself hitting the thumbs-up for posts on Youtube, I've often read a post where it starts out making eloquent comments I agree with, and I hit the thumbs up before finishing, and get to the last sentence and it's some crazy stuff like "they should be shot" or "they should get the death penalty" or "they should be hung", or they go into some crazy antisemitic rant about how "the Jews" are the cause. And fortunately, I can hit the thumbs-down and it takes away my thumbs-up. It's possible those show in Youtube records as both a thumbs-up AND a thumbs-down by me, I don't know. But that's an example of how simply pushing thumbs-up doesn't mean you fully agree with the post you appear to like.
I also think the CNN piece is dishonest in several parts about Marjorie Taylor Greene.
For example...
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.
That's a flatout lie.
John Sullivan and another BLM activist were arrested. Their self-incriminating videos posted on Facebook and Twitter will expedite their prosecution. They were DIRECTLY involved in the shooting of Ashli Babbit, the ONLY true casualty of Jan 6th.
While officer Brian Sicknick also died, it is increasingly questionable whether any violence played a role in his death. Or if Antifa/BLM infiltrators were involved, if there was violence related to it. The last article I read speculated that it may have been a pepper spray or tear gas sprayed at him and other officers, but who sprayed it is still unknown, if it was sprayed. Through hours of investigated video of Sicknick and neighboring officers fighting protestors, there is no video of an extinguisher thrown at him. There was a separate incident outside on the capital steps where another person threw an extinguisher at others, but no reported injuries from that incident.
But the point being... BLM definitely were involved, openly boasted about it in their own videos, and were arrested by the FBI for it. So Green absolutely did not "falsely accuse" Antifa. CNN lied. Antifa were
arrested and are being prosecuted.
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.
First off, Parkland High School is about 12 miles up the street from me.
Second, David Hogg is a left-wing zealot, and he was exploited by the anti-gun Left as a spokesperson, for which he was paid, and consistently posted incendiary remarks on social media. So in the sense that he was a paid spokesperson for leftist groups, it is fair to say that he is a "paid little pawn and actor" exploiting the situation for his 15 minutes of fame, and getting paid for it.
It is unclear whether Marjorie Taylor Greene simply "liked" someone else's comment or reposted the "#littlehitler" hashtag. Or if it was even her, or one of her assistants using the account.
What Greene has said is that she went through a period where she was shaken by several scandals to have a distrust of government and the mainstream media, and listened to conspiracy theories and asked questions about them to clarify if they were true or not, and at times bought into them until she gained information that disproved them. I suspect there's context CNN is not making clear, in their eagerness to destroy Rep. Greene.
Before she ran for Congress in 2020, Greene created a White House petition in January 2019 to impeach the House speaker for "crimes of treason," citing Pelosi's support of so-called sanctuary policies that "are serving illegals and not United States citizens" and because Pelosi did not support Trump's border wall.
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 [Pelosi] 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.[for treason] 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."
In the comments of her Facebook posts, often promoting the petition, Greene liked a comment that said "through removal or death, doesn't matter, as long as she goes," referring to Pelosi, and another that encouraged Greene to "beat Pelosi's ass."
The petition for Pelosi's impeachment and removal for treason amassed over 420,000 signatures as of January 2021.
The fact that Greene wrote a petition, and 420,000 signed that petition to accuse Pelosi of treason, indicates Greene is pursuing a legal path and not a lynching to kill Pelosi or anyone else. Greene was not leading a lynch mob, or pursuing an actual execution. She seems to be saying that treason is a crime that could and historically has carried a punishment up to and including a death penalty. It's over the top rhetoric,granted, but she seems to be advocating just declaring Pelosi guilty of treason to drive her from office and possibly serve some kind of jail sentence. And even the most minor jail sentence would be highly unlikely to ever happen. But in any case, Greene was saying Pelosi COULD face a death penalty for treason, if the state chose to take it to that level. But in any case, appealing to the state to sentence Pelosi, not to just lynch Pelosi in the street.
420,000 agreed with her enough to sign a petition to that effect.
The "beat Pelosi's ass" part is clearly not literal, but to beat Pelosi politically. Like so many other calls to "kick their ass" in elections or other competitive situations. And again, the article acts like Greene suggested things that were just said by others and "liked" on Facebook, that she might have partially agreed with, not fully read, or may have been "liked" by assistants using her account.
Greene, who has embraced and spread the baseless conspiracy theory about a "deep state" working to usurp Trump's agenda, suggested in Facebook posts that FBI agents disloyal to Trump were traitors.
That one is listed as if Greene did something wrong. But I see absolutely nothing wrong or extreme about that assertion.
The Deep State is provably real by a hundred examples.
* The Obama-appointed leakers during Trump's presidency in the expanded National Security Council, that O'Brien was appointed to weed out and fire.
* Democrat operatives in the FBI and DOJ who manufactured the Russia Hoax, who conspired to bring the Russia Dossier in to DOJ and FBI through back doors despite that it was proven salacious and unreliable, but they used to manufacture a 9-month Russia Hoax FBI counterintelligence investigation the smear Trump, that they coordinated with reporters to leak to the press so they could have a Mueller special investigation appointed.
* That they used falsified evidence to get four consecutive FISA surveillance warrants to spy on the Trump administration.
* That they collaborated with Russian and Ukrainian agents to undermine Trump with falsified slanders in the 2016 election.
* That Gina Haspell in the CIA signed an order that for the first time allowed a whistleblower report to accuse the president, when before CIA or FBI or NSC could only whistleblow on someone else in their own agency. And no one knows when Haspell signed authorization for this change. And no one knows who put the change request on her desk.
* The fact that the FBI sent no agents,
ZERO, NONE to investigated election fraud in aany of the 6 contested states in the Nov 3 2020 election. And yet they sent an army to investigate the Jussie Smollett case, they sent an army of agents to investigate a noose-hoax in a black Nascar driver Bubba's garage. They sent an army of agents to investigate a bunch of pickup trucks with Trump flags allegedly harassing a Biden campaign bus on a highway.
But FBI sent no agents, NONE, to investigate the evidence of the most consequential and fraudulent election of our lifetime.
But did send agents to harass and intimdate several election fraud witnesses into withdrawing their affidavit statements.
All of which gives weight to the fact there absolutely is a conspiratorial Deep State that works against anyone who threatens their power, and selectively buries any investigation that would incriminate them.
That is far from a fringe idea that exists exclusively in Marjorie Taylor Greene's mind. A large slice of the population sees evidence of a Deep State.
A Republican House vote propping up Liz Cheney's leadership position (despite that most of the Republican base even in her own state despises her) while voting the same day to keep Marjorie Taylor Greene off any House committees, is also testament to the power of the Deep State, the establishment surrender-caucus Republicans moving in acquiescence and lockstep with the Democrat authoritarian power structure, locking out any outsiders who threaten their hold on the system, the lobbyist rewards system that enriches the elite of both parties, whether the name is Biden, Obama, Clinton, McConnell, Boehner, Ryan, Graham, Cheney, Pelosi, Schumer, Reid, Kerry, or so many others.
Again, I refer you to the book OBAMANOMICS by Tim Carney, that doesn't use the term Deep State, but fully lays out the lobbyist structure that enriches both parties, where they serve corporate interests as public officials, and when they step down are rewarded with cushy high-paying positions for those companies in the private sector.
Or Michelle Malkin's book CULTURE OF CORRUPTION, that focuses quite a bit on the corporate lobby rewards to the Biden family.
I've noticed in the last 2 years that all of a sudden, any conservative network or publication or individual who cites facts the Left doesn't like is labeled on Wikipedia as a "conspiracy theorist" or "right wing" or "extremist", whether it is Fox News, OAN, Newsmax, Epoch Times, Breitbart, Washington Times, The Federalist, TownHall, DailyCaller, or any other conservative source.
And now it is being taken to the next level, where labels are not enough, and the Left want to crush and eliminate any dissenting news and information, with cancel-culture. Marjorie Taylor Greene is just this week's target.
As is the head of Gateway Pundit, whose Facebook page was taken down when he posted video of a Ryder-size truck pulling up to the election center in Detroit at 3 AM election night, to deliver tens of thousands of fraudulent ballots, snuck in the election HQ back door, observed by 4 sworn witnesses. That coincides perfectly with a spike in Joe Biden votes, and the win in Detroit for Biden. Gateway Pundit was silenced for telling the truth. But I'm sure that's just a conspiracy theory.
