Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calls out President Trump for his post about Rob Reiner death

[orangecrush]

WASHINGTON — Northwest Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is criticizing President Donald Trump after he posted about the deaths of actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, calling the incident a result of what he referred to as “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

......


The comments drew criticism from Greene later Monday morning, who said on her Congressional X page that the focus should remain on the family and the ongoing investigation.

.....

"Rob Reiner and his wife were tragically killed at the hands of their own son, who reportedly had drug addiction and other issues, and their remaining children are left in serious mourning and heartbreak,” Greene wrote. “This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies. Many families deal with a family member with drug addiction and mental health issues. It’s incredibly difficult and should be met with empathy especially when it ends in murder."

So now our courageous media will at long last publicly state that Trump is NOT FIT FOR OFFICE.

RIGHT?

[UTUSN]

1. Has Mrs KIRK? - at the WEISS-CBS "town hall" the last one to debate KIRK asked her

whether she was also holding Dear Leader responsible for the polarization/incitement/violence and she didn't even mention Dear Leader in her response, saying that "families" needed to take the prime role to diffuse things and "everybody" taking responsibility.

*** I use "Mrs" for her and all other Wingnut women because "Ms" is not for their anti-empowerment of women.

[rampartd]

27. "the widow kirk" is a Christian form of address.

[newdeal2]

2. He is a sick fuck

His comments reveal more about his vulgarness than the Reiners who have many lovely tributes pouring in.

[surfered]

3. Greene's statement was surprisingly lucid and spot on.

[Irish_Dem]

5. The new publicist is a genius.

[orangecrush]

8. I'll take it

[Grokenstein]

14. Right?? They keep it up and...

...a few decades from now decent people might say, "Hey, maybe she wasn't so bad after all!"

Until then, it's all just an act borne of desperation.

[Irish_Dem]

18. This is the goal. To make it look like she is a good decent person.

It has been a masterful job.

[rampartd]

28. i don't trust her.

[Irish_Dem]

31. Not any further than we can throw her.

[TBF]

51. Well said. I don't trust her either. nt

[SergeStorms]

61. Throw her and.....

the free weights she uses to "bulk up" her "perfect""body. She's a snake in the grass.

[barbtries]

35. she cannot be trusted. nt

[calimary]

43. Well, our memories and her public record will be what lasts.

At least for those of us with our eyes wide open.

I do believe in forgiveness and redemption. It’s still kind of a heavy lift with her, though.

[popsdenver]

29. No shit

a few items of niceness by MTG does not make up for her years of aiding Trump to the place where he can do this kind of vulgar spewing of shit out of his mouth.........Same with Liz Cheney and others.......

Every day, they worked for nearly TEN YEARS creating and endorsing this Frankenstein's Monster, and now they can't control him, no matter what they do............yet 99.9% of them are still behind him 100%

[Irish_Dem]

32. She is a nasty piece of work. I don't buy the miracle transformation either.

[onenote]

33. If it helps make the rest of Trump's ass kissing deplorable look bad, I'll take it.

[Irish_Dem]

36. Of course. As Obama said, please proceed.

Never stop your enemy when they are destroying themselves.

[Deminpenn]

23. It was

And, good for her.

[GreenWave]

37. Our world is so crazy that MTG sounds like the GOP's saner voice.

[yardwork]

47. She desperately wants to be a senator and probably president.

[speak easy]

62. ... and probably president

😂

[yardwork]

63. I laughed at the thought of Tump being president.

Hell, I remember assuring people that nobody would vote for that drug-addled moron Dubya.

[agingdem]

4. this coming from a callous idiot who called the

Parkland High School massacre a "false flag operation" and harassed David Hogg, a Parkland survivor..

Marge, new to the concepts of conscience and compassion (death threats will do that to ya), is now trashing her former god (Trump) for his odious disregard for human life....

Someone should tell Marge we have long memories and the internet is forever...

[orangecrush]

9. I'll take it anyway

[Deminpenn]

25. People can and do change

Just sayin'

[BWdem4life]

34. Ugh

I don't believe the new MTG. Not one iota.

[Deminpenn]

57. Didn't watch her big interview, just a few clips on MSNOW,

but she strikes me as having come back to Earth1. She seems less conspiratorial now. Maybe it was meeting with the Epstein survivors or her own experiences with the impact of healthcare costs on her own family or getting those death threats from the maga cultists or just the discrimination she and other women face from thetr GOP male colleagues in congress. but she apears not to be the same person she was.

I'll differentiate what I'll call her improved "human-ness" from some of the rw policies she might still support.

[orangecrush]

56. Agree

[Polybius]

59. That was the old MTG

She has since apologized.

[agingdem]

64. Serial killers apologize also

but their victims are still dead ..

If Kevin McCarthy was still speaker she would still reign as the face of the MAGA party, spewing her insane conspiracy garbage and kissing Trump’s fat ass..

[Polybius]

66. I'll take Kevin McCarthy any day over what replaced him

I'm still bothered by his removal, because it could have been prevented.

[hlthe2b]

6. Well, she's like a room of clocks, lately, isn't she?

But, she is right to call him out (and that is the understatement of the year)

[artemisia1]

7. Wrong, unfortunately. Only when he's left office and a new Right Wing leader has emerged will they dare to

do so. In other words, when it no longer matters...

[popsdenver]

30. I honestly believe

that whom ever the Republicans have in the Bull Pen could actually be much worse, but just not as "Vocal" about it...
Someone(s) who work in the dark, and behind a bunch of smoke and mirrors....

Steven Miller and Russel Vought will be the Republican Ticket in 2028...........

[artemisia1]

46. I agree. More verbally measured, as evil or more so (if that's possible) than Trump. /nt

[dalton99a]

10. Kick

[berniesandersmittens]

12. Good on Massie

Now THAT'S a proper condemnation

[Raven123]

11. Time to check to see if Hell has frozen over

MTG’s post is refreshing from someone on the right. Disconnecting from Trump is a prerequisite for such change, which tragic in itself, given his status as POTUS. I hope she experiences true transformation long term.

[orangecrush]

20. Agree

[AdamGG]

13. Greene is probably setting up an independent run for the Senats or maybe GA governor

She wouldn't have said shit about Dump's comments if he hadn't disowned her.

[orangecrush]

21. We don't need purity tests

We need allies.

Heard the same about Liz Cheney

[AdamGG]

49. I didn't know Liz Cheney, Liz Cheney wasn't a friend of mine, but

this woman is no Liz Cheney.

[Polybius]

60. Yes

Unlike Cheney, she is much less pro-war.

[Trueblue1968]

15. Trump is a mean hateful evil piece of $hit !!!! Wht isnt he gone as in gone forever??

[senseandsensibility]

16. To your point, Dana Bash was EXTREMELY scathing and

showed true outrage in her comments about trump's post. I do believe that professional sanewashers like her get "courage" when magas and other RW cult members speak out. Suddenly they find their voices. CNN takes its cues from the rightwing and has for decades. A recent example is their echoing of maga during the Kirk murder. They were all aboard the Dems to blame narrative but had nothing to back it up.

[Playingmantis]

17. Trumps idiot followers are denying he posted this...

even though its plain to see on Truth Social...They are hopeless

[orangecrush]

19. Too late

[Zorro]

22. He does not care what anyone and everyone thinks

[Americanme]

24. trump is so damn pathetic.

Using a post about murder to brag about his own imagined greatness. Sad and embarrassing.

[gfarber]

26. Press Drums

There once was a statesman who typed,
While empathy quietly wiped.
At grief Trump took aim,
For clicks and for fame,
And called it a syndrome he hyped.

A lawmaker rose with a sigh,
Said, “Must mourning now toe party lines?”
When blood still is warm,
And hearts are half-torn,
Is this when we monetize crime?

The press beat their drums with delight:
“At last! He’s unfit! This is it!”
They polished their takes,
Ignored human stakes,
And feasted on moralistic spite.

The Reiner family lay broken in shards,
But grief made for terrible cards.
Too solemn to trend,
Too human to bend
To pundits in need of new yards.

So Swift would propose, with a grin,
A cure for our national sin:
Replace every tear
With a sponsor’s veneer—
And auction compassion to win.

Let sorrow be parsed on the air,
By panels exquisitely fair,
Who’ll argue till dawn
If death helps or harms
The optics of power and prayer.

And should we ask softly, “Is this
A man who should govern the midst?”
The answer rings true,
But not for the view
That rage is a virtue we’ve missed.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

38. Just as he usurped the term "fake news",

He has done so with Trump Derangement Syndrome. He is so deranged as to be clueless.

[ShazzieB]

39. I'm starting to believe she really does plan to make a run for potus or the senate in 2028.

She seems to be trying hard to rehabilitate her image these days. Everything she's doing is giving "Forget about all that rudeness and hatefuless, and look what a nice person I actually am! 🥰"

It'll be interesting to see what happens once she's out of office. I would not be at all surprised to see her doing even more interviews, public appearances, speaking engagements, etc.

[Cha]

40. I'm glad she did this.. who didn't see Fucked face

making it all about him?

TY

[Torchlight]

41. She's really pushing her 'Rational Rehabilitation Tour' with gusto.

I give her by the end of this week to show us all the true facade we've come to know so well that's only recently been covered up in an attempt to reinvent herself. She's already shown us who she really is... and with great accuracy I might add.

[orangecrush]

44. I'll take it.

Sure is pissing Trump off.

[OnlinePoker]

42. It's not Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's Deranged Trump Syndrome. n/t

[orangecrush]

45. Trump Diety Syndrome

[Emile]

48. Trump Derangement Syndrome is real.

[Hassler]

50. Even James Woods rose above his

Asshole self and said something good about Reiner. That tells you much about who Rob was, about how he could bring out the good in someone like Woods.

[Dave Bowman]

52. Sorry Marge, but you're vile and despicable and I doubt that you suddenly became a saint.

I'm glad that this will piss off Piggy and his deranged followers tho.

[VGNonly]

53. Oh bless her heart!!!!

[Fil1957]

54. I think the right wing backlash against Trump's remarks about the Reiner family tragedy, shows that Rob Reiner

was loved by both the left AND the right. The right knows he's a liberal activist, but his and his father's work transcended the left/right political dichotomy and have become part of American culture, so they just don't care that much about his politics.

Because of that, many if not most of those on the right are saddened by this tragedy just as much we on the left are.

[orangecrush]

55. Agree 100%

[Polybius]

58. Good for MTG

I was on the fence, but now I'm convinced that she's changed. Sure, she's still super-conservative, but she's different now. I wish she wasn't resigning. I'm sure a hater will replace her.

[VGNonly]

65. She's still a scorpion with one less leg.

The other seven can still attack and will.
