Conservatives Quickly Turn Against āIdiotā Marjorie Taylor Greene
The Georgia Republican is fast falling out of favor for her opposition to the Ukraine aid bill.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greeneās failed fight to end aid to Ukraine, and herĀ sort-of-serious crusadeĀ against House Speaker Mike Johnson, has cost her the support of right-wing media.
The Sunday front page of the New York Post, owned by the conservative Murdoch family, was the latest outlet toĀ attackĀ Greene, invoking the āMoscow Marjorieā nicknameĀ coinedĀ by former representative Ken Buck.
Fox News, another arm of the Murdoch media empire, had alreadyĀ taken aimĀ at the Georgia Republican last week, with columnist Liz PeekĀ callingĀ her an āidiotā and saying she needs to āturn all that bombastic self-serving showmanship and drama queen energy on Democrats.ā This follows an editorial last month from The Wall Street Journal, also in the Murdoch portfolio, that called Greene āRep. Mayhem Taylor Greeneā and accused her and her allies of being āmost interested in TV hits and internet donors.ā
Even a non-Murdoch outlet is on the attack, as conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Debra SaundersĀ demandedĀ to know āwho put Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge?ā
She isnāt bad looking. The problem is she is nuts. She doesnāt represent the party and I think the party will be better when she leaves
Are you sure about that?
If you said Santos, Iād agree. MTG seems pretty spot on though.
No, MTG isnāt what I would consider a mainstream Republican. I donāt know anyone who likes her other than the people who vote for her. The same thing goes for Boebert.
Matt Gaetz is one that most people donāt like but he keeps teaming up with AOC with bills, along with Josh Hawley. At least they are trying to get things passed.
MTG just tries to block things and whine. She is the Republican equivalent of the squad.
Mr Gaetz and Ms OC actually share a goal at all? Thatās a surprise! To hear theyāve worked together on a bill that advances both their constituentsā goals is another shocker.
Once? Try several.
Yet thatās what we should want. People working together
Thereās only two people Iāve seen who look like actual dogs given human form: Ron Perlman and Marjorie Taylor Green.
She looks terrible when sheās screaming and acting like a lunatic. I associate her image with snapshots from her breaking decorum in shameful ways, which makes her appear quite ugly as a person and hence physically ugly in those moments. If I knew nothing about her and only saw a picture of her looking normal, Iād think thereās nothing to comment upon.
