MTG poses with white balloon ahead of State of the Union, just as conspiracy websites requested

https://news.yahoo.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-balloon-state-of-the-union-conspiracy-extremist-websites-014238092.html



Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., appeared to be the first legislator to try to bring a white balloon to the State of the Union address, an appeal made to Republican lawmakers on extremist and conspiracy websites in recent days.

Online forums associated with domestic violent extremist groups and conspiracy theories have been calling for Republicans to show up to Tuesday night’s event with a white balloon to register a protest against President Biden’s handling last week of a Chinese surveillance balloon that flew over the United States. By mid-afternoon, Greene posted a video of herself in the halls of Congress holding one.



Yahoo News reported Tuesday that while U.S. law enforcement was closely monitoring online forums associated with known extremist groups and other platforms used to plan the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, there had not been many threats detected that might disrupt Biden’s address.

She’s upset b/c her job is too demanding.. she brings a ballon to her clown show. Which is it, Marge? Her total lack of respect for the House is showing n tiresome. Maybe time for comedy.

It's the sequel to "The Boy With The Red Balloon" with the difference being that it's a happy ending when the balloon gets stomped on.
