Marjorie Taylor Greene buried by conservative for blaming 'the internet' for her conspiracy ravings

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In a column for the Bulwark, conservative Mona Charen criticized an attempt by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to clean up her image and lay blame for her conspiracy-laden rantings on being fooled by what she read on "the internet."

In the piece where the longtime columnist not too subtly suggested the controversial lawmaker has a "roiling stew of garbage between her ears," Charen said mainstream Republicans shouldn't buy her sudden conversion on the road to power at the side of newly elected Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

As the columnist pointed out, Taylor Greene has parted way with her former comrades-in-arms against the GOP establishment, Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL) in the battle for the House speakership that spread out over 4 days and fifteen ballots.

Fresh off McCarthy's victory she appeared on Fox News with host Howard Kurtz on Sunday where he gave her an opportunity to explain her history of inflammatory comments, to which she replied, "Like a lot of people today, I had easily gotten sucked into some things I had seen on the internet. But that was dealt with quickly early on. I never campaigned on those things. That was not something I believed in. That’s not what I ran for Congress on. So those are so far in the past."

1. I wonder how much her constituents will approve of her new "look." nt

2. Except, she spewed the idiocy on her podcast...

When you are a "social media" star, you need to remember that there are receipts.

Perhaps she did not "officially" campaign, as in give stump speeches with all her stupid ideas. She did however, repeat them consistently and I am sorry Marge but when you are a public figure and an elected representative, what you say in public, on your pod cast, is still a statement of your beliefs.

If I was a politician and campaigned on, whatever, but then attended Klan rallies (in secret), and that became public, guess what? That would be part of the record and I would either have to completely denounce the Klan, or I would have to suffer the consequences of everyone knowing I was involved with the Klan.

People need to start posting her Podcast clips far and wide. DO NOT let her run away from her stupid and toxic views.

OK. I did point out the obvious.
