Marjorie Taylor Greene Admits Arming Fetuses Is 'Impossible'

But she does believe "children should be trained with firearms," Greene said at a House Rules Committee meeting.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) admitted Friday that arming fetuses just wouldn’t work. She was responding to a baiting remark by Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) as the two argued at a House Rules Committee meeting about the Second Amendment and private armed militias.

“Do you think the students should be armed?” Raskin asked her. “I think children should be trained with firearms,” Greene replied. “I definitely do. I think that’s very important.” “So they can repel someone who comes in” to a school? Raskin asked. “I said I believe children should be trained with firearms so they understand how to use them and understand the safety,” Greene answered.

She then veered into a rant about abortion.

“Abortion kills babies!” she said. “We’re talking about kids being killed; abortion kills innocent children. They can’t protect themselves at all from this horrific procedure.” “Sounds like you want to arm them,” Raskin cracked. “That’s impossible,” she replied, completely seriously. “That’s impossible, Mr. Raskin.”

My niece taught me the word "whackadoodle", which seems to apply to that whole bunch. Even the onion writers could not come up with anything this bizarre.

She must’ve learned something from the peach tree dish.

nutcase. I hope evidence is found that implicates her being deeply involved in trump's insurrection.

Every damn time. I've done it hundreds of times over my 25 years on the internet, and with many in person.

They will never, EVER admit you've made a pertinent point in support of your argument, or enlightened them on facts they didn't know.

They just change subjects, change goalposts, deny facts, and gaslight the fuck out of you.

It's like universal with the Cons that they have zero intellectual integrity. Their ideas and arguments are typically threadbare, but they sure know they don't want to lose the debate to some libtard.
