QAnon congresswoman alerts FBI on Keith Olbermann -- because he predicted she is 'going to prison'

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Raw Story

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) continues to raise eyebrows during her second week in Congress.

On Thursday night, Green lashed out at Benjy Sarlin for an opinion piece he wrote that was published by NBC News.

She complained about coverage of her not wearing a mask, argued the story should've been critical of Nancy Pelosi and pushed whataboutism about Black Lives Matter and Antifa.

(Olbermann tweeted You are going to prison, Traitor)

At that point, she dropped a dime to the FBI about the veteran broadcaster.

"This is extremely threatening violent rhetoric," she claimed, tagging the FBI and Twitter in her tweet.

I don't know if this is belongs in the latest breaking news as it is not breaking news that Rep. Greene is a few bubbles off level. I did not know where to post it. Greene tweeting the FBI to report a "threat" is news. It is my understanding you should call the FBI to report a threat and not contact them with a tweet.

Also I am not certain RawStory is a reputable news site. Their headlines sometimes are very overboard

Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) Tweeted:
Such a snowflake. It’s neither threatening to say you’ll be prosecuted for your disloyalty to this country, nor is it violent to say you’ll be convicted and incarcerated.

Please ask an adult to look up those tough words for you and stop wasting people’s’ time ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

18. Her Comms team? Deranged violent left?

The feeling of self-importance is large in this one. They're all trying to be Trump's mini-me. The "deranged violent left" comment is a little over the top. It wasn't BLM protesters who ransacked the Capitol. It was MAGAts who believe Donald Trump had the election stolen from him, who believe in a nameless, faceless "Q" who leaves internet clues for them to decipher when there is nothing for them to decipher. Who believe Democrats are all pedophiles, and after having sex with these children....eat them, presumably because we don't like to waste a good child. Who believe there are lizard people inhabiting the earth. And the "left is deranged"? We're the people who attacked the Capitol Police, ransacked the Capitol, killed a Capitol Policeman? These people are nucking futz. She needs years of intense psychiatric care.

NO ONE EXPECTS THE COMMS TEAM!

Beautiful. I'm old enough to remember seeing that Monty Python sketch the first time it played in the U.S. on PBS. It was a Saturday evening ritual. Watch Monty Python at 9:00 pm, then out to the bars to get well oiled. The 70s....a great time to be alive in the U.S.

I can just imagine the FBI’s response when they saw the tweet: “He’s right. Why would we go after him for that?”

Too bad her district's voters aren't interested in facts. Revenge perhaps, but not facts.

But then it's said you can grow almost anything if you spread the bullshit deep enough.
