'The maths are hard': Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked for not understanding what 'seized' means - RawStory

United States Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) undermined her own attack on President Joe Biden's immigration policies surrounding illegal drugs that have been intercepted by Customs and Border Patrol during a Tuesday House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee hearing.

"I want you to know that in 2020 there were 4,800 pounds of fentanyl seized by CBP. But in 2021, fiscal year 2021, it increased to 11,200 pounds of fentanyl was seized by the CBP. That is a direct result of Biden administration failure policies," said Greene. "Now here we are in – to date, to date, fiscal, fiscal year 2023 – they have already seized 12,500 pounds of fentanyl. The Biden administration is failing this country by not protecting our border and securing our border, and stopping Chinese fentanyl from being brought into our country illegally by the cartels, and people are dying every single day because of it."

Social media users immediately pounced on Greene for, apparently, not understanding what the word "seized" means.

Ghost-Rebooted: "More seizures is better right?"

Jaini Margaret: "Hey @RepMTG The word 'seized' when referring to the border, means something was taken at the border & not permitted to come into America. So, the Biden administration has stopped more fentanyl from getting past the border & into America than the Trump administration."

BruceGoldberg: "She really needs to watch this clip, over and over (if necessary) to fully grasp the magnitude of her self-own. It's literally a tutorial."

1. The tv ads just write themselves. It will make a great Biden ad

While at the same time, exposing how ignorant and hateful the GOP is.

[world wide wally]

30. She gets far too much attention for a stupid person

[Rebl2]

35. Truth

[2naSalit]

2. Go get 'em, Margie!

[D_Master81]

3. I've heard similar from other Republicans

I can never understand when they make a similar argument when talking about people stopped at the border. I’m like is it really a failure if they are apprehended? He literally can’t stop someone from another country from attempting to cross the border. But somehow in Republican eyes it’s a failure.

[Duppers]

4. Unbelievable.

[rubbersole]

5. Math for Marge --

You have 217 repubs in the House.
Subtract the ones that like you.
Take that number and multi....um, wait.
What's that number?
🖕

[diverdownjt]

8. multiply by Zero gives you Zero

How did that old song go.....

Nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'...

Now who sang that one???

[we can do it]

18. Billy Preston

[Phoenix61]

6. I keep thinking all of her clothing/shoes/etc have to be Velcro

because there is no way she can possibly figure out how to work a zipper or tie shoe laces. Is she really that stupid or does she just think the idiots who vote for her are?

[barbtries]

10. i'm leaning toward

she's really that stupid. unfortunately so are the people who vote for her.

[Phoenix61]

11. Valid point. Both is looking like the most likely option. nt

[Effete Snob]

20. She depends on us

The more she gets "the libs" riled up, the better.

We are helping her.

[piddyprints]

26. If she thinks that, she's right.

Anyone who would vote for her can't have too many working brain cells.

Oh yeah, and she really is that stupid.

[keithbvadu2]

7. If you republicans would quit smuggling fentanyl.

Charlottesville Tiki Torcher Killed Himself Before Drug Smuggling Trial $215 for smuggling fentanyl.

9. OMG how can someone that stupid be in Congress???

[Mr.Bill]

31. It's a matter of being in the right district. n/t

[The Jungle 1]

34. She gives me a seize up and gag.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. If seizures were up under rump, she'd be crowing about better enforcement. Hmmm. . . .nt

[NoMoreRepugs]

13. MTG continues to build her bonafides to become the

running mate of the SlobFather. The MAGAT’S love candidates as ignorant as themselves.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. Brain Seizures up among nutcons: more foaming and frothing on the floor. . . nt

[William Seger]

15. I think she probably knows what "seized" means

I think her problem was in attempting to draw a logical conclusion from the facts.

[mwb970]

41. You give her too much credit.

[Harker]

16. Gohmert's departure has left a vacuum. n/t

[PatSeg]

17. Best to remain silent and thought a fool.....

Oh, how often that pops in my head these days. She just can't help herself.

[GusBob]

19. I hate the witch but she has a point

The math is actually easy. Any LEO will tell you more dope being seized means more dope coming in. The cartels plan it that way as the cost of business.
Plus they are able to make tons of it 24/7/365. They are flooding the market
The amount being seized is a drop in the bucket
If the seizures were working, the number of OD deaths would be plateauing or declining

And they are not. We had another one here last week. 26 year old young lady

21. Up is down, down is up!

[area51]

22. Perjury Traitor ex-Greene

[Talitha]

24. Oh gawd, my pet rock is smarter than her!!

[newdayneeded]

25. Remember the Bush ads

Bush kept us safe for 7 years!

Nevermind the fact that the largest terrorist attack happened on our soil only months into his term.

These are masters at spinning words and situations. Of course, most of that is the stupid fucks that eat this bullshit up.

[Initech]

27. Seriously one of the stupidest people ever elected to Congress.

I mean damn...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. She must have been home schooled

On Hee Haw reruns.

[Mopar151]

37. Hee Haw was pretty literate, for all the cornpone.

Cousin Minnie Pearl had a college degree, was a theatrical producer until show business went to broadcast. Her father owned the sawmill that was Grinder Switch. Archie Campbell was the king of spoonerisims!

Home schooled with cirriculum supplied by the National Enquirer and The Spotlight.

[Scottie Mom]

MT Greene is indeed "MT" minded. Her initials are just soooooooooo appropriate.

[Hoosier]

32. Dumber than a sack of hammers (n/t)

[liberalla]

does she have kids? OMG I would feel very sorry for them indeed

[mwb970]

40. Like so many republicans, Greene is just so mind-numbingly STUPID.

It's a party of idiots.
