CNN anchor: Marjorie Taylor Greene comments 'make me sick'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

CNN anchor John Berman called out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Ga.) comparison of mask mandates to the Holocaust on his CNN morning show "New Day" on Monday.

"[Your words] don't make me uncomfortable, they make me sick," Berman said, referring to the lawmaker.

Berman, who is Jewish, said Greene shouldn't speak for Jewish people or make any Holocaust comparisons.

"I promise you that Marjorie Taylor Greene ... she thinks I'm Jewish," Berman said. "So as a rational Jewish person, let me just say to Marjorie Taylor Greene: Don't you dare speak for me." Berman said in response. "Not if you're going to compare health measures or anything to the Holocaust."

1. MTG belongs in a padded cell in a mental home.

[marieo1]

6. Agreement

I agree 100% and throw away the key!!! She is a disgusting piece of trash!!

[Crowman2009]

23. No, she deserves a prison cell!

Let's not have her get off scott-free for her crimes.

[gratuitous]

2. Berman should not be a lone voice crying in the wilderness

There should be universal condemnation from every anchor, commentator, reporter, and anyone else the media regularly put a microphone in front of. (The subject line is a reference to the book of Isaiah.)

[Aristus]

3. Right-wingers are the ones who say you shouldn't comment on gun violence

unless you own a gun.

Well, don't make Holocaust comparisons unless you're Jewish, okay?

[ShazzieB]

17. Good analogy.

Too bad MTG is incapable of comprehending such a simple truth.

[3catwoman3]

4. I'm sure she is not one bit sorry...

...if her words made anyone uncomfortable.

That is her MO.

5. The more offensive, the more money she is getting

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s controversies fueled huge fundraising haul

Two days after U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed articles of impeachment against newly inaugurated President Joe Biden, Nashville, Tennessee, real estate developer Bill Acree donated $100 to her reelection campaign.

Acree gave another $100 the day the House Rules Committee voted to strip her of her congressional committees. And another $100 the day after Greene moved to adjourn the House to avoid voting on legislation that protects LGBTQ people from discrimination.

He is among hundreds of conservatives across the nation who poured $3.2 million into Greene’s campaign account during the first three months of 2021, making the freshman lawmaker one of the U.S. House’s most prolific fundraisers.

In the House, Greene’s fundraising during that period lagged only Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who collected $4 million. Greene essentially tied with U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, the Republican whip and a 13-year veteran of the chamber.

She raised more than House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy, who collected $2.9 million, and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the liberal Democrat who is one of her party’s top fundraisers. Her haul was $2.8 million this reporting period.

22. Which only demonstrates....

that republicans are not fit to live with civilized, 21st century people. They're ignorant swine, and should never be allowed to partake in any government, from town councils, all the way up to the presidency. They're not even human. They crash through this world using only their pre-historic, reptilian brain. Eat, sleep, kill, breed.... that's all they're capable of understanding.

[geardaddy]

7. She probably thinks the Holocaust didn't happen.

She is so clueless.

[brush]

8. Has there ever been a dumber rep. than taylor-greene? The woman continues...

displayed her ignorance every time she opens her mouth. And she doesn't know how stupid she sounds.

[durablend]

11. Dumb? That implies she doesn't know what she's doing.

She knows DAMN WELL what she's saying and the money she's raking in doing it.

[brush]

14. It's dumb all right. The push back is growing against her stupidty.

Equating wearing masks to reduce covid spread with the Holocaust, gold stars and the gassing of six million human beings is smart politics, even with the short term money it gets her... well, get back to us later with how smart you think this Q-anon traitor is.

[ShazzieB]

18. Yes, it's dumb.

As "effective" as her outrageous behavior may be for the relatively short-term goal of fund raising, it's going to hurt her political career long-term. She doesn't know that, because she's incapable of seeing the bigger picture. People with brains that tiny can only see what's right in front of their noses.

[GoCubsGo]

27. Paul Gosar provides some pretty stiff competition in that department.

As do Lauren Boobert and that schmuck who said the Jan. 6th rioters were just "tourists." I think they may share two brain cells among them.

[brush]

34. Good points. I was reacting to her imbecilic commenst of the Holocaust and masks.

[Progressive Jones]

9. Calling her mentally ill lets her off the hook.

The mentally ill need help.
This sow is a traitor. Traitors deserve removal from society.

[ShazzieB]

19. Yes, I wish people would stop calling her that

She's deluded, but not the way a mentally ill person is.

Stupid, hateful, and mean are not synonyms for mental illness or symptoms of it.

[live love laugh]

25. +1

[DBoon]

26. She is not mentally ill

She is not stupid.

She is evil.

Evil is intentional. Evil is not a condition to be treated by medical means. Evil is a moral defect that must be suppressed if we are to live in a civil society.

[Progressive Jones]

28. Exactly. She knows what she's doing, even if she actually believes spew.

Just a common a-hole who can't keep her hole shut. She'd die without t5hat attention.

I'm willing to bet she's always been this way, in every area of her life.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

30. Yes

And republicans have evil in their so called shriveled up hearts. They choose it like all abusers choose it.

Sociopaths narcissists and authoritarians do not belong in a decent society.

They do not have mental illness it is who they are.

[calimary]

10. Good for him! Others with that big a media platform should follow his lead.

[GB_RN]

12. What No One Seems To Understand Is

1) She doesn’t fucking care, 2) you’re just giving her attention, and 3) making you sick is her whole fucking game, ergo, you’re falling into her whole “owning the libs” shtick.

At this point, the media should just treat anything she says as “And in other news, ‘Empty’ Greene (Q-ball) said something outrageous.”

[Progressive Jones]

29. I agree, but the challenge is exposing her to more Americans. She's a back bencher

that the majority of Americans have never heard of, or ever will. She'll be gone quick. People need to know who the creeps are who want to destroy this nation.

But, I like to rub GOP faces in people like her. I want to "tattoo" them all with the likes of Green, Gosar, Gaetz, et al.
Antics like this need to be used against them in the mid-terms. All GOP candidates must be painted as the same kind of
people who tried to pull a coup on Jan. 6th. Tie it around their necks like a concrete block.

"This is your dog shit, GOP. Get it off my lawn!"

[JustAnotherGen]

13. He can get back to me

When her voters reject her. I believe her district will send her back.

[Lonestarblue]

15. She's trying to become a reality TV star.

Perhaps she’s auditioning to replace Laura Ingraham on Fox or to become the top star on Trump TV promoting the conspiracy of the moment. She would fit better with un-reality TV as she has no place in the a serious US governing role.

[George II]

16. Hey halfwit (giving her half the credit she deserves) it wasn't a "gold star" it was a YELLOW star..

It was a Star of David with the word "Jude" in the middle.

There is no such requirement of conformity here. In fact, you embarrass yourself quite often with the idiotic captions you have on your masks.

For some history, nitwit Greene:

https://www.bl.uk/learning/histcitizen/voices/info/yellowstar/theyellowstar.html

[SergeStorms]

20. She is, without a scintilla of doubt, the most...

ignorant, soulless member of Congress we have today. She may be the most ignorant, soulless member of Congress in history.

If the people in her district re-elect her they should share her shame and and I suggest carpet bombing her district back (or would it be forward?) to the Stone age.

[kimbutgar]

21. Meghan McCain was defending her remarks today on the View

I had to give up the View show because of her stupid remarks like that.

[PlanetBev]

24. We share a last name, John

You do me proud.

And, Marjorie, I live in California and I don’t have a Jewish space laser.

[Tommymac]

31. We traveled through Northern GA on the way from Tenn to Atlanta a few weeks ago

And did not spend ONE LOUSY DIME in her district.

We spent hard in Atlanta and the areas we toured to see Dr. King's birthplace and other important Civil Rights memorials and related historical areas.

Surprisingly, most folks were following Covid protocls and wearing masks etc - at least in the Atlanta Metro area. We prepared for the worst and were surprised in a good way.

[dlk]

32. Greene has shown herself to be a vile and grotesque monster

This is what the money-grubbing, power-grabbing Republican Party has devolved into.

[MiHale]

33. Greene is doing exactly what they want her to do...

Distraction, Distraction, Distraction... keep the liberals busy gasping and talking about the indecent crap that comes from her swamp hole.

The crazies say insane stuff we think we have to respond...WHY?...let them rant to the highest clouds, just don’t listen.

Why do we care what the other trumpies think of the shit she says? It’s not directed toward them, let that sink in...she wants you pissed off.

She (ok, not only her) wants to jam up the news feeds with their crap.

This is a way to silence us, we have to yell louder just to be heard. The louder we scream, the crazier they’ll get.

Remember...this technique worked for trump.

[BobTheSubgenius]

35. Good! It's long past time that people started losing their patience and forebearance...

...when it comes to MTG. She is mostly vile, but she is 100% unbalanced.
