Marjorie Taylor Greene raises $325,000 as top Republican defends her for ‘denouncing QAnon’

Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is under fire for conspiracy-mongering, has found support among donors as she raised $325,000 within two days.

Ms Greene had made a fundraising pitch after a resolution was passed on Tuesday calling for the Republican to be stripped of her committee assignments. She raised $175,000 on Wednesday and $150,000 on Tuesday.

“Help me defend my seat from the DC Swamp,” Ms Greene tweeted on 2 February, with a pitch that included Democrat Ilhan Omar’s picture and the words: “Democrats are trying to expel me from Congress”.

House minority leader Kevin McCarthy also put his weight behind the controversial GOP member as he informed the media that Ms Greene has "denounced" the remarks she made earlier. He added that the Democrats are judging her about comments she made before she was elected as a member of the Congress.

1. "denounced" her own remarks? Have not read that. Would be big news if true, I think. . . . nt

[ClusterFreak]

4. She can 'denounce' them all she wants...

What's she going to say though?

"Remember all that crazy ass conspiratorial nonsense which was spewing from my pie hole before, you know, way back in 2019 and 2020? Well ya, fuck that shit".

Marjorie Taylor Greene apologizes to GOP colleagues for past QAnon support

By Kathryn Watson

Updated on: February 4, 2021 / 4:57 AM / CBS News

Freshman Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, whose past remarks endorsing violence against Democratic leaders and espousing conspiracy theories about mass shootings may cost her committee assignments, addressed the GOP conference Wednesday evening to express remorse for those comments.

She told Republican colleagues she believes school shootings are real and called them "awful," and apologized for her past support for QAnon conspiracy theories, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.

Greene's private comments to her colleagues -- who also have the power to strip her of her committee assignments -- stand in stark contrast to her public comments, where she has refused to back away from her past statements in the face of criticism and boasted about raising some $175,000 over efforts to punish her on Wednesday alone.

This was a "private" purported "apology". ETA to rightfully add --

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Thank you for helping me stay informed. As you say, not public. . . . nt

[RVN VET71]

14. If Qevin Mcarthy, Q-Ca said it

it is probably a lie. (And thanks, again, Mrs. Speaker for the “Qevin” nomenclature!)



I wonder if he joined the standing ovation half of the Republican Representatives gave this racist, anti-semitic, nazi-leaning murderous gun-nut when she stood to speak?

[xxqqqzme]

23. How about she 'fundraise' (I mean denounce )

under the requirement she demands of others, her hand on a Bible?

Never mind,I still wouldn't believe her for a second.

[olegramps]

24. According to congressman who was in attendence she did not apologize. (Morning Joe, today)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Let her say "Violence of any kind including threats against elected officials is anti-American"

Let her say, publicly and widely,

"Violence of any kind including threats against elected officials is anti-American. Biden and Nancy Pelosi and all members of Congress were duly elected with accurate counts. Biden is President."

Let her clearly say

"When I spoke about space lasers starting fires, my remarks against Jewish people were wrong and I denounce and retract what I said."

and much more. In detail.

Anything she has said in the past that she does not explicitly denounce now is as if she said it today.
Keep tarring her with her own words until she denounces and retracts them.

[RVN VET71]

15. I agree. No whispering exchange with Mcarthy

State publicly, you foul, devil-spawned, soulless POS, state your repudiation publicly and specifically. Every time she appears in public, a reporter or three must ask her specifically: "Do you repudiate your inflammatory and insane comments about “jew-lasers”? “Do you repudiate the Qanon claim that Democrats eat babies?” “Do you renounce conspiracy theories claiming that there were no killings at Sandy Hook? at Parkland?”

(Sounds like a baptismal request to renounce Satan in all of his works and ways, doesn’t it? But that is exactly what the goddamned media has to do, baptise this lunatic into renouncing lunacy and embracing reason -- yeah, her “embracing” of reason would only be a public show, but if she publicly accepts, ahem, the lord of reason, she will never again be able to convincingly espouse the opposite to her vile, troglodytic, hate-filled, nauseatingly drooling supporters.)

And if she refuses to accept reason and renounce the devil of ignorance and hatred, the media needs to keeps after her. The media needs to hound her so that, at least, she will not show her close-eyed face in public forums again and be reduced to spewing her evil hate-speak only before her co-religionists in the GOP and Georgia

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. +1. . . nt

[George II]

3. She's almost gloating about it on Twitter:

Link to tweet

[FailureToCommunicate]

16. "...radical Democrat mob" Oh, yeah, she sounds real contrite.

Not.

[Traildogbob]

7. If trump were to succumb to

Article 14 section 3 or be imprisoned for state tax crimes, mark my words, this idiot would be elected by 74 million brain dead idiots. The First female president, with Hawley VP. That is very possible in AmurKKKa right now. This country is a joke to the world. She will be the next trump sensation in the GOP.

[HUAJIAO]

9. You very well may be right...

[dalton99a]

11. +1

[orangecrush]

12. Uh huh

She's already under investigation for grifting mileage reimbursements during her "campaign".

Let's find out where this money came from before we get too excited about her prospects.

[durablend]

17. And how many crimes did Trump commit

Along with how much grift? Still not in jail.

[Traildogbob]

27. It was Bang Bang Barbie

With the mileage issue. The law and order party welcome crimes. Marjorie Traitor and her cabinet, (Gang Greene) will be loaded with thieves, as was trump’s. Bang Bang will be Secretary of Defense. Cruz, AG.

[twodogsbarking]

8. May I take this moment, before I am elected to Congress, to say

Fuck You Marjorie and your backward political friends too.

[orangecrush]

10. Need to thoroughly investigate

Exactly where this money came from.

[apnu]

13. Note she states that the "swamp" is "Democrats"

She said the quiet part out loud again. More evidence that the Republican Party has no interest in Democracy. They are working hard to transform America into an oligarchy like Russia.

[maxrandb]

18. Can we find out what businesses, corporations, or small business owners donated?

Not doing business, or buying anything from them would be a good start.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. She doesn't even know what "The Swamp" is.

And unless the K Street lobbyists are gunning for her, she doesn't need protected from it.

"The Swamp" is where Trump recruited much of his cabinet, and it's likely much of that windfall she's enjoying is straight out of special interest coffers to whom she will be indebted.

[Happy Hoosier]

20. Oh she'll get a lot of money...

After all, we know that there is a steady percentage of absolutely nut cases in the GOP.

[PRETZEL]

21. Aside from the fact that McCarthy

is so full of shit that they have to dig another outhouse, I believe he's also wrong.

If I'm not mistaken, Ms. Greene's first floor speech was a reiteration of the election being stolen screed that the QAnon's have been spouting since November.

But also, the Republicans have made a cottage industry of fundraising based on the "evil" cabal of Pelosi, AOC, Rep. Omar and Rep. Pressley, among others. Why would McCarthy want to stop now?

[Harker]

25. That's 24,583,325 Rubles.

Give or take.

[turbinetree]

26. JFC just kick her off the committees

and besides she has to list where all those donation came from, so the entire population of this county can see who is a traitor giving her money............and if they are business boycott them .............

[Jetheels]

28. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man,

he won’t notice your picking his pocket. He’ll, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you”. Lyndon B. Johnson.

This is her MO, exactly like trump.
I looked at her Twitter, it’s all about hate and send money.

[CaptainTruth]

29. Margarine Traitor Greenbean

I can't help it, that's what I'm calling her, or just little Greenbean for short.

[BobTheSubgenius]

30. Forget "..... expel me from Congress".

I'd prefer to see you expelled from the hemisphere.

[Bayard]

31. She's claiming she's the victim now

People lied to her, and she believed them!

If nothing else, she has very poor judgement. Especially to be in Congress.
