Marjorie Taylor Greene Accused of Seeking 'All the Dirt' on Kevin McCarthy

Far-right activist Laura Loomer said in a recent interview that GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia asked her to "dig up all the dirt" on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

During an interview on In the Trenches with Teddy Daniels, Loomer said that Greene sent her text messages in which she targeted McCarthy. Loomer's comments were shared to Twitter on Saturday in a clip posted by PatriotTakes, a platform that monitors and exposes right-wing extremism.

Loomer, a failed GOP congressional candidate in Florida whom Greene endorsed, also pointed out how the Georgia Republican held contradictory stances about McCarthy as she currently supports him despite criticizing him in the past.

"Marjorie had always been outspoken about Kevin McCarthy like I have messages with Marjorie Taylor Greene on my cell phone where she...thinks Kevin McCarthy is so 'stupid' and how she wants me to dig up all the dirt on him and his extramarital affairs so that we can prevent Kevin McCarthy from being [House] speaker," Loomer said. It's unclear, however, when those text messages were sent from the congresswoman.

the way republicans operate, it is a mafia organization that has infiltrated government, and they were successful at placing one of their ranking members on the presidency.

If the USA had real journalism many of the members of the republican mafia would have been ousted already. Ask this question, if some republican can get dirt on another republican, why can't Democrats do the same? As many have said, you cannot go into a knife fight with a bible, so get your knives and fight the republican mafia at their own level, or even go higher.

..and Rottenbaucher" [frm U.S.Rep from CA aka Putin's favorite congressman wonder how an American earns that distinction --,just typed in his name and walla articles referencing him as a favorite of Mr P. 🤔 ...sorry misspelled Rohrabacher] that's is, since Barr let that comment slide --like meh 😑 nothing burger here besides lots of gop politicians are buds with war criminale Putin, so no big deal.

Anyway...would be nice if someone, say current AG, DOJ, FBI, CIA any gov Intel investigate what the fuck he meant bc Paul Ryan at the time who was caught on hot mic saying pendejo [ fucking moron] McCarthy... shhh --we keep things like that in the familia. Jeez--perhaps it was something we needed to know about to stop odious traitor #45 from his blatant malfeacence.. quen sabes, who knows ..

Kevin McCarthy is such a doofous-- cartoonish-like... hmm 🤔 seems a requisite to be a member of kkknaziGOP...that along with being a racist, bigoted mysogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic, hypocritical "Christian." Sad that the 2023 House of Representatives is going to be one big fucking pile mierda! Gives me asco just thinking about it. Asco is this
