Phillip: Why Taylor Greene keeps making anti-Semitic comments (CNN)

CNN's Abby Phillip says that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) keeps making comments like the ones that compared the Biden administration's vaccination push to Nazi-era Brown Shirts because Greene believes that they help her with the Republican base loyal to former President Donald Trump.

They eat it up and will reward her. God help us all if she uses this seat as a launchpad for Senate or statewide office.

Is crazy rural red

On an somewhat unrelated note, she uses a fund raising company that takes 80 cents of every dollar. So, just wondering if you have to do that to raise money, just how popular are you?? Seriously

Tells are the rapid eye blinks and most telling of all is the slight smile with the words

"...I know that are offensive and for that I want to apologize"

and that little smile, friends, is a sign of deception.

She's just another psychopath but then we knew that already.

Some do "back" Israel, true - but only when it comes to atrocities against Palestinians.

For most Republicans, it's just a matter of "people I hate killing people I hate even more" - that's it.

I suppose we can be grateful she's not screeching about Commies behind every corner.

However, she remembered from the high school history class she didn't sleep through that Nazis were the baddest of the bad people ever, so that's what she's yapping about when anybody tells her something that's good for public health. Nobody gonna tell her what to do, no suh. Long may she rave.

I suppose what annoys me the most about such stupid people is their boundless self confidence in idiocy combined with supreme smugness. It's a nasty combination and it's all too common.
