Opinion: It's time for Marjorie Taylor Greene to go

No one here will dispute this, but the fact the author's thoughts are out where MAGidiots can read this, whether it accomplishes anything or not, is a good thing.

Opinion by Jill Filipovic/CNN

What should a political party do when one of their elected members to Congress is making comments that sound awfully traitorous? That’s the question the Republican Party should be grappling with right now in the aftermath of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia saying this weekend that, if she had organized the January 6, 2021, riots, the insurrectionists would have won.

“I gotta tell you something: If Steve Bannon and I had organized that, we would have won,” she reportedly told the New York Young Republican Club. “Not to mention, it would have been armed.”

It’s hard to overstate how offensive and scary this is. In a statement to CNN on Monday, Greene said she was being sarcastic and, as she has done previously, denied any involvement in the January 6 riot.

“My comments were making fun of Joe Biden and the Democrats, who have continuously made me a political target since January 6th,” she said.
