Marjorie Taylor Greene says Republican Party is Trump's and 'doesn't belong to anyone else'

Embattled congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene struck a defiant tone on Friday, tying herself closely to former president Donald Trump.

“The party is his,” the Georgia Republican said at a press conference outside the Capitol. “It doesn’t belong to anybody else.”

Ms Greene’s remarks came just a day after the House of Representatives voted to strip her of her committee positions, punishing her for what critics call her hateful and conspiracy-mongering comments on social media. All Democrats in the House voted for the measure, with only 11 Republicans joining them.

Every time something is posted about her (usually just another stupid statement she's made) it gives her the attention she dotes on and absolutely does not deserve. It is her pleasure that we should talk about her, even if it's in disgust.

Let's focus on other things. This story is over. She gonna keep saying stupid shit. Ignore it.

You're putting the Republican Party on the spot, eh? Nice job. With your increased visibility, you are sticking it to cowardly GOPers who are hiding behind equivocations and rationalizations. You are saying to all of the GOPers, announce your fealty, in public, for the Trump Party, once known as the Republican Party, and like it. Now GOPers are more likely to fully affiliate themselves with a twice-impeached criminal, OR they will have to denounce Trump and excise him from politics.

Shit or get off the pot, as they say.

Atta girl, Margie.

she's gonna pull what's left of the party down with her. Every time she opens her ignorant mouth, the party tilts more and more.

As the saying goes, confession is good for the soul, provided one possesses a soul to begin with. That would exclude the embattled one.
