created?On the eve of President-elect Joe Bidens inauguration, freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the combative Georgia Republican known for her association with the fantastical, cultlike QAnon conspiracy theory, was back on Twitter after a 12-hour suspension, and back to making waves and rocking the precarious boat that Republicans find themselves in, having lost the White House and both chambers of Congress.
Ive said this all along, its people over politicians, not the other way around, Greene tweeted late Monday night, just hours after her Twitter account was reinstated after it was suspended for violating the social media giants policies. Its the people of this country that matter. Thats why Im asking everyone to join me as a Citizen Cosponsor to #ImpeachBiden.
A rising star among the far-right wing of the party because of her brash, outspoken pro-gun, anti-abortion, stridently conservative views, Greene has most recently found herself at odds with Republican officials, who are alarmed by her record of conspiracy-mongering, bigoted rhetoric and last-stand efforts to undo the election results in her own state.
On Tuesday, Media Matters for America uncovered Facebook posts by Greene from 2018 in which she accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton of encouraging school shootings to push for gun control, calling the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in which 17 people were killed and 17 others injured, a staged false flag operation.

Not unless that word has lost all meaning. Shes a radical conspiracy theorist; shes an agitator and not in a good way.

Tucker thinks Dems are going to round up 74 million Trump voters and here's Marge helping identify them.

Layer upon layer of lies and crazy talk to achieve a political agenda.
Their Messiah trDump, that is who normalized this crap. Now we have to live with it unless and until you denounce it each and every time it shows its ugly head. This crap makes civilized political discourse impossible.
