Michael Steele had the perfect response to MTG's " you are not a biological mom" nonsense

He tweeted about being adopted. All the things his mom did, despite not being a “biological mom”. She’s still alive at 92 years old. He dropped the mic 🎤 on MSNBC this afternoon, saying, ( I’m paraphrasing) “Hey Marge, Jesus that you claim to love so much, was raised by a man that was not his biological father.”

It's kind of a basic requirement for public office in the GOP, at least down south: either be a Bible thumper or be able to convince the voters that's what you are. 😉

Like everyone else of her ilk, she only follows cherry-picked parts of the old book with which she can beat up on other people she doesn't like, while totally ignoring the new book and the teachings of the guy of whom she claims to be a disciple, who tells her to love those people.

MyMom died when I was 11. That was 57 years ago.. I still, love her, miss her and talk to her often, My Dad remarried. My stepmom was a loving, caring person. I loved her too. I was very lucky to have two Moms.

MTG knows the Bible as much as she knows the constitution as much as she knows biology classic. She is ignorant and hateful ergo a leader of the Republican Party.

And I only have a brother as well, but each of my parents had one sister - who each had one daughter so it was like I had sisters, too. When we were kids, my Dads sister's daughter did everything with us, we really were one family. And I did everything with my grandmother, too.

In the early part of the 20th century, that county forced ALL Black residents to flee under threat of death. They even skipped a census so that they would not have to answer the question WHY there were no Black residents there when there previously had been hundreds.

She's a RACIST and proud of that.
