Marjorie Taylor Greene hit out at a British Sky News journalist over Signalgate, telling her: “We don’t give a crap about your opinion”. Martha Kelner approached the MAGA Rep. at a press conference on Wednesday (26 March) and as she started to ask a question, Taylor Green interrupted her and demanded to know: “What country are you from?” When the journalist told her she was from the UK, Taylor Greene launched into an angry verbal attack. She said: “We don’t give a crap about your opinion and your reporting. Why don’t you go back to your country where you have a major migrant problem?”
God, we Americans are just pieces of shit aren’t we? I’m so sorry world, our representatives do not represent the majority.
Hmmm don’t they? hasn’t MTG been reelected twice already?
I’m sorry but I am finding hard to believe this is not a reflection of the USA when it has taken about 20 years to get here after EVERY POSSIBLE WARNING. Best I can give you is that the majority may not be like this but could not be bothered ticking a box to avoid it
It’s supremely fucked up, you can rest assured on that.
Also, wherever you live in the world, the powers that be are working right now to construct this exact same mousetrap for you, so when a minority around you consolidates power, breaks traditions and laws, and continues for years - you’ll know what it’s like.
I have no doubt they are trying… but at least I plan to go down swinging if it comes to that
It’s like the times you want dessert and you’ve been given a choice between a cucumber and a rotten stinking corpse, and you say ‘meh, I think they’re equivalent, so maybe I’ll sit it out this time’. And the other people pick the corpse and everyone gets sick eating it.
it is EXACTLY like that!
MTG’s district is the 14th of Georgia. It has a population (according to Wikipedia) of 796,193. She won her election with 64.4% of the votes. Even if we had 100% voter representation (lol we most certainly do not), that means that 512,748 or so people voted for her. Again according to Wikipedia, the US’ population is at about 340M. That means that at most 0.15% of the country voted for her.
She also originally won her election because she jumped from a different district in Georgia to the 14th, whose incumbent had announced was not running for re-election. So no, she doesn’t represent anything approaching a majority of the US; if anything she represents everything that is wrong with our current voting system.
I don’t even know where she is from in the country, but very few politicians represent my values.
This time around they literally do. This is how shitty our country is.
No, they don’t.
