‘Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm,’ the former Georgia congresswoman wrote
Marjorie Taylor Greene has urged fellow MAGA supporters – and other Americans – to “take off their political blinders” over the death of protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, warning that they are being “incited into civil war.”
“I unapologetically believe in border security and deporting criminal illegal aliens and I support law enforcement,” Greene wrote on X Sunday, the day after the fatal shooting. “However, I also unapologetically support the 2nd amendment.
“Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm.”
Despite video showing that 37-year-old Pretti was filming federal officers but did not have a weapon drawn, the Trump administration has claimed he had tried to assassinate agents in an act of “domestic terrorism.”
For a rat jumping off a sinking ship, she’s pretty good at it tbh. She is very selective and has only gone against trump on two things from what I understand (Epstein and 2A), both probably hitting the mark even in cultish Maga territory.
Bitch, you created this monster. Now that you finally nfpund your marbles, it’s a bit late, dontbya think? I’m all for a redemption arc, but you really were one of the worst.
It’ll take more from you to forget what you’ve done
Say what you want but more obnoxious cunts turning sides can only be a good thing.
I swear to God if this BS act works and people vote for this unprincipled scumbag in 2028, I’m going to stick my head in a trash compactor.
Bitch that civil war was your jam until they threw you out of the club… you’re not wrong, just terrible
They didn’t even really throw her out until she got salty over not running for senate (which they told her ‘no’ cuz she’d have lost.)
Coming out of this hell for the USA could require help from anyone, and convincing MAGAs to come over to the good side might be accomplished more readily by someone who once was theirs, would that be her or not.
this the same idiot who was calling for a ‘national divorce’ every other week? as if that wasn’t just a euphemism for civil war
National divorse is in no way a euphemism for civil war. There’s literally a constitutional way of states removing themselves from the Federal Government, that’s what national divorse means.
National divorse
constitutional way of states removing themselves from the Federal Government
that’s what national divorse means
Not from here, huh. Well, that’s alright. 1860 wasn’t the same everywhere around the world, of course.
What is the constitutional way of states removing themselves from the federal government?
People need to stop acting like she’s turned over a new leaf. She’s a crazy racist. She has nothing to say that’s worth hearing. She did more than most to put us where we are. She belongs in the sea.
She’s a crazy racist
Do you realize need someone to explain to you why trump losing the support of crazy racists is a big deal?
Look, yes. She’s a piece of shit. But she’s not wrong here. And honestly, we need people (even batshit crazy racists) calling out the stupid shit Trump and co are doing.
Do not conflate agreement with acceptance. We need all the help we can get right now. Worry about washing your hands later. Too many good people are dying to stay on that high horse.
At this current point in time, anybody against Trump in this fascist regime is a friend of mine
You’re not supposed to throw trash in the sea.
Under the sea

Darling it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me

And yet, her takes are better than most Democrats
She still voted republican 99.99% of the time.
I hate MTG.
I will also take any ally we can get at this point, as long as they vote what they speak
Stay unemployed Marge
I’ll take what can be had from her words, but she cannot be trusted and shares blame for the groundwork for the cult followers we see today. She’s also made a lot of money and is getting out after the fact.
Aizen, just because you’re helping Ichigo now doesn’t mean I forgot about what you previously did.
On one hand it’s good to see anyone with a following stating truth to power, on the other hand it kinda pisses me off that only now after multiple needless deaths does this ass-hat who helped to set this situation up finally come to her senses.
This is like the 3rd time I’ve agreed with her this year.
Much as that sucks, it could be that we’re being fed bullshit to divide us. Weird, I know.
She’s still an idiot whose views only align with mine in a few cases because she doesn’t really understand reality.
But she actually seems like someone who maybe cares about the truth sometimes. She was indoctrinated, but maybe she could be pulled out of it? Not when she’s surrounded by the right wing echo chamber, but it gives me some hope that the redcaps in our own orbit might have a chance?
She seems like a crazy person that’s also a true believer.
She went to Washington wanting to expose, among other things, a secret child-sex abuse ring involving people at the highest levels of government and society. And lo and behold, there was one, but it was being protected by the people in her own party.
True believers sometimes have some hope because some have just followed misinformation too far. Some will snap out of it when confronted with reality. The Final Experiment actually managed to turn some true flerfers. No effect on the grifters, obviously, but it shook some believers loose.
MTG has always smelled like foreign/capital influence and the stank keeps getting worse.
That’s what I thought, too, but her latest utterances don’t make sense in that light.
Maybe her net worth has finally exceeded her values, so she’s finding something like a conscience and isn’t moneyed enough* for that to really factor in? She’s very, very new money, and likely can’t really imagine what that means? People are likely trying to tell her.
* : if foreign money bought her, I’m sure she was fairly cheap. She may have realised that recently…
They’re not supposed to make sense. Russia did this exact thing within its own borders after the fall. You have the most outspoken poles of the political spectrum do complete 180s. Why?
Because you’re trying to keep the people from organizing. You foment distrust in leaders and movements and try to keep people home by all means. You’re trying to get people disinterested in the messy world of politics.
Meanwhile, you identify the people who are willing to break the rule of law and follow orders and put them to work nipping at the edges of those brave enough to organize.
It’s happening now.
