Marjorie Taylor Greene calls Black Lives Matter 'domestic terrorists' on first day of Black History

Marjorie Taylor Greene calls Black Lives Matter ‘domestic terrorists’ on first day of Black History Month


David Badash, The New Civil Rights Movement
February 01, 2021

U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is calling Black Lives Matter a "radical Marxist group" and "domestic terrorists," and choosing to do so on the first day of Black History Month.

On Monday Rep. Greene, an adherent to the QAnon cult, announced she is co-sponsoring legislation that would prevent flags representing the social justice movement Black Lives Matter – which she called "hate America flags" – from flying over U.S. embassies. Although not mentioned, the bill would also ban the LGBTQ Pride flag.

"In the past, rogue members of the State Department flew the flag of the radical Marxist group, Black Lives Matter," her press releases states. "The domestic terrorists represented by the flag have burned down our cities with the mission of defunding our police."

Black Lives Matter, which advocates to end police killing of usually unarmed Black people, along with ending police violence against the Black community, is not considered a domestic terrorist group. The movement Greene subscribes to, QAnon, which took part in the January 6 attempted Capitol coup, is.

...I guess Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks she can say ,whatever she wants, whenever she wants, about whoever she wants...But there are dues to be paid. This one statement, ups the dues a whole lot. It will prove that she should keep her mouth shut.
.... That one is much too hard for her to figure out. Therefore she will pay the
price of losing the next election, or being removed by ??? We will see, but stupid is.......
..... still stupid and Greene is..... very stupid

Acting out and misbehaving in order to get the attention they crave. Attention is the fuel that fulfills the child’s need to alleviate their lack of self esteem, mild personality disorders, stress, and painful emotions. It’s a form of communication for issues that are difficult to put into words.

The woman’s got issues stemming from childhood no doubt. Ignoring these racist, bigoted, and conspiracy driven outbursts is the best strategy. Democrats and the media would be better served to do the same.

Only a licensed therapist and psychiatrist can help her. It’s up to her to reach out and get the help she needs. In the meantime, no one should give her the attention she so craves that fuels her ego.
