Oh Joy. MTG vows to travel to NY to protest TFG's arrest.

https://www.rawstory.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-2659709099/


Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Friday vowed to travel to New York to protest against the indictment and arrest of former President Donald Trump.

"I’m going to New York on Tuesday," the Georgia congresswoman wrote on Twitter. "We MUST protest the unconstitutional WITCH HUNT!"



Good. I hope she gets her ass arrested for obstruction. She won't be able to hide behind the "speech and debate" clause if she does.

You might want to rethink this, Marge. NYC isn't exactly your kind of deep red town.

If Trump organizes another riot, the judge should keep the public menace in custody.

While she's here, I encourage her to walk around the city. Take in the sites. See how well a highly diverse, densely populated city lives and interacts with each other every day without incident.

Maybe she could learn a thing or two.

Yawn.
