WASHINGTON Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the freshman congresswoman whose support for QAnon and other extremist conspiracy theories has made her a flashpoint in the House, is facing condemnation again for putting up a sign denying the existence of transgender identities across the hall from another congresswoman who has a transgender child.
The Republican from Georgias back-and-forth with Rep. Marie Newman, D-Ill., started with Newman's remarks on the House floor about the Equality Act. The legislation protecting the civil rights of LGBTQ Americans passed the House on Thursday.
Newman talked about the importance of the Equality Act for transgender individuals such as her daughter. Greene then posted a tweet denying her daughter's gender identity.

This is sad and Im sorry this happened. Rep. Newmans daughter is transgender, and this video and tweet represents the hate and fame driven politics of self-promotion at all evil costs, Kinzinger tweeted in response to Greenes video.

(18,581 posts)She hasn't done enough to be expelled yet, but she keeps pushing the boundaries. Eventually she'll do something that can't be ignored by either party and she'll be gone. Maybe she'll produce a gun on the floor and shoot into the air, saying it's in the constitution.
She seems to think her position in Congress is pure performance art.
Sick of these ignorant, know nothing idiots, that republicans keep electing.

It feeds them, gives them more animating force. They revel in it, it is mother's milk for their hate, it makes them edge.
