Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s conspiracy theories, vitriolic language, and xenophobia have made her a darling of the right and a pariah on the left—and now, she’s gained admiration from Russian state television.
Greene’s attempts to block aid to Ukraine, her criticisms of NATO, and her beliefs that the United States should withdraw from the alliance have drawn plaudits from TV hosts in Russia, The Daily Beast reported Friday.
I’m not sure she’s a literal traitor but she is definitely a useful idiot.
Yeah, I honestly think she’s dumb enough to do it for free
Exactly. I think it’s just in her own short term interest, and that happens to align with foreign governments.
You guys sound like youre making cover for mtg. She’s a ghoul.
That’s definitely not my intention. I agree that her actions are fucking mental.
I don’t think it’s a cover to be stupid and malicious when you don’t need to be. She’s obviously a ghoul, just the dumbest one I’ve ever heard of
She makes a lot of money off the stock market. She’s in it for the money. Hate and anger sells.
If she is promoting Kremlin propaganda, she is a traitor, IMHO. Unfortunately, she is likely protected under the first amendment.
She is so fucking stupid, she probably isn’t getting paid to say the things she does. People like that already have a twisted sense of patriotism so she likely believes the horseshit she spews.
I understand that viewpoint, and I’m not saying she’s any less of a problem just because I’m not willing to state that she’s a literal traitor. She’s obviously doing what she’s doing, regardless of her reasons.
Being a traitor an odd thing to try and define in this case. She really couldn’t be considered the ringleader in distributing misinformation and we probably can’t get proof of any bribery. If anything, she is a victim of state sponsored propaganda. “Victim” is probably too strong of a word here, but it’s possible.
Regardless, the Dunning-Kruger effect is in full force with that one. If she is commiting crimes, she probably isn’t aware of it.
I think our differences in views can be explained by my belief that propaganda is a legitimate weapon. (That could probably be debated until the end of time, unfortunately.)
I do also believe that propaganda is a weapon. I just don’t know whether she’s doing what she’s doing in the service of anything but her own stupidity. There is, however, no questioning the fact that whatever the case she is useful to foreign interests. Something which shouldn’t be taken lightly no matter what category we put her into.
If she is promoting Kremlin propaganda, she is a traitor, IMHO. Unfortunately, she is likely protected under the first amendment.
This is the Congressional Oath of Office she would have had to take at swearing in:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
The only difference here is that a useful idiot hasn’t been used yet.
makes me respect the gold bar senator bit more when its framed this way. If you’re going to support a foreign country you could at least have the self respect to get paid.
She reminds me of my mother. She can’t be wrong.
Its so incredibly obvious that Putin supports everything that will weaken USA/EU/NATO-“The West” in the long run, economically, politically, you name it. Everything that will disassemble these systems, make them more vulnerable to corruption, reduces the trust people have in them. How the hell do these ultra-“patriotic” right wingers not see this while Putin is so clear and outspoken about it?
Some of them put their hands over their eyes, some squint a lot, others though stare into the headlights of the oncoming train.
To answer your rhetorical question, because they are selling our country for a pittance. Look at this abomination’s net worth before and after she is elected.
Of course they do. They all work for the same boss.
Rather than trying to turn the US into Russia 2.0, maybe she should just move to Russia and live the dream.

Well, sure. The Neanderthal has probably been mostly thinking about roots and berries and such, whereas Marjorie…
I think MTG is more repellant than that nasty garbage juice that collects at the bottom of a public trash bin on a hot day, BUT it’s not any woman’s responsibility to be attractive in order to be respected. There are plenty of reasons to dislike her.
And now I have to hate myself for a little while for defending Moron Troglodyte Grundleberry.

What the FUCK did Magic The Gathering ever do to you, eh?
(Let’s pretend there’s a little /s there on case anyone needs it)
a buddy told me that she has Ron Perlman face and now i think about it every time i see her.
Hey, no! Ron Perlman is ruggedly handsome and a decent guy who correctly described DeSantis as a Nazi pig!
I’m not throwing shade at him! As a man, the face is badass. As a woman, it’s gnarly and gross.
Mouth not wide enough
I don’t think anyone in the world would want her mouth bigger😁
Unlikely, the bears are generally more coherent.

Bears are fucking awesome. Green margarine is not
Good point, that too.
Give the fucking traitor, Greene, a one-way ticket to Muscoviteville and she can take the damn MAGATs with her.
A nice prison cell awaits when her finances get brought to light.
Useful sub-idiot.
Haha, that was my guess even I saw the synopsis up there.
I’ve been saying the repubs are a fifth column for many, many years - even before Dozo the Clown came along and brought terrorists like Marj along with him. Even before they started using Putin shirtless on a horse as avatars (unironically).
And now it’s right out there in the open. The cons HATE this country. Many have been able to see this for decades; now there is no hiding it.
Pig fucking conventions?
That’s taking the term“useful idiot” somewhat more literally than usual
On Russian TV they said that she is very heterosexual and wears fur coats. I have no idea wtf this is supposed to mean.
Up her own asshole? Didn’t think this was news, nor sudden.
