In reply to the discussion: Marjorie Taylor Greene got into screaming match with Rep. Cheney over 'Jewish space lasers' comment [View all]AverageOldGuy
(3,268 posts)10. Let's be clear about something:
Yes, it is true that MTG's "space lasers" comment and her other nonsense is exactly that -- nonsense. Bullshit. Lies. The ravings of a lunatic.
However, something else is true: FACTS ARE IRRELEVANT. It does not matter that MTG is a raving loon. She is doing it because that's what her constituents -- you know, CONSTITUENTS, the people who vote for her -- are delighted when she pulls a stunt like this because she is "owning the libs" (or, in this case, owning the traitorous Liz Cheney).
So -- sad to say it doesn't matter what you and I say about MTG, she's playing to the people who will vote for her in 2022.

So refreshing to see anti-Semitism come back into mainstream-ish vogue.

Yes this is the sad truth. She does accurately represent a big chunk of American voters.

They need bomb throwers and that is what she is and does. I agree with your sentiment.
