Marjorie Taylor Greene Attacks Biden's Plan for Free Preschool: "I Refuse to Go"

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene lambasted President Biden’s proposal for free preschool by declaring, “I refuse to go.”

Speaking to reporters, the Georgia congresswoman called preschool “just another form of mind control” and said that she would rather “hold my breath until I turn blue” than attend such a school.

“Joe Biden would like nothing better than to see me sitting on a colorful rug, singing, ‘Do you know what time it is?’ ” she said. “I’ll tell you what time it is. It’s time for him and George Soros to stop thinking that I’m going to preschool, because I’m not, and no one can make me.”

Greene also said that she had “serious concerns” about the indoctrination she would have received had she gone to preschool, as Biden wished.

She obviously didn’t learn anything the first time - things like basic human kindness, for example.

Considering how she turned out, she would've benefited immensely from pre-school.

Such is the state of Republicans these days, especially that sterling example.

As a rule, I weight the more outlandish stories as likelier true.

It seldom fails.

I wonder if the New Yorker's subscriber base would suffer if Andy Borowitz left for some reason.

Funny, because it is absolutely conceivable that she would say something like this.
Pathetic, because she is a congressperson. UGH.
