[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I continue to be amazed that there is ZERO vetting of politicians in our country. There should be some kind of a minimum background check. Besides all the crazy stuff she has said, some of her rhetoric advocates for violence toward politicians and FBI agents. That's the sort of rhetoric that can get people killed. There has to be some sort of check on such speech--regardless of which party the person belongs to. How can someone be admitted to a political body (the House) when they have advocated to have one of its leaders (Pelosi) killed or put to death?

Here is a sample of some of her comments with a link below to the source article.

"Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress, a CNN KFile review of hundreds of posts and comments from Greene's Facebook page shows."

In one post, from January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who, in her eyes, were part of the "deep state" working against Trump.

In one Facebook post from April 2018, Greene wrote conspiratorially about the Iran Deal, one of former President Barack Obama's signature foreign policy achievements. A commenter asked Greene, "Now do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O ???," referring to Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Greene replied, "Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off."

In one speech, promoting the petition, Greene suggested Pelosi could be executed for treason. "She's a traitor to our country, she's guilty of treason," Greene says in the video, which she posted on Facebook at the time. "She took an oath to protect American citizens and uphold our laws. And she gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally invade our land. That's what treason is. And by our law representatives and senators can be kicked out and no longer serve in our government. And it's, uh, it's a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason."

In another Facebook Live broadcast from inside Pelosi's office on February 22, 2019, Greene suggested the House speaker will "suffer death or she'll be in prison" for her "treason." Notably, Greene never mentions a trial.

In the comments of her Facebook posts, often promoting the petition, Greene liked a comment that said "through removal or death, doesn't matter, as long as she goes," referring to Pelosi, and another that encouraged Greene to "beat Pelosi's ass."

While Greene notes in Facebook posts that she disavows and denounces violence, within the comment sections of Greene's Facebook page, commenters frequently cheer for politicians to be executed by hanging or firing squad. Elsewhere on her Facebook page, Greene liked comments that advocated to "arrest" Obama and former Secretary of State John Kerry and one comment that said, "HANG that bitch," referring to either Obama or Kerry or possibly both of them. She also liked a comment that urged for "civil war 2.0" to begin.

Greene, who has embraced and spread the baseless conspiracy theory about a "deep state" working to usurp Trump's agenda, suggested in Facebook posts that FBI agents disloyal to Trump were traitors. She liked a comment that said, "Trump already said there were some great ones working with FBI but some have fallen and quite frankly need to be hung for TREASON!" Another she liked said, "These Traitors need to be put to death as an example of what will no longer be tolerated in our country!!!"

A whole bunch of this was reported before her primary and her primary runoff (against a Hopkins-educated neurosurgeon, btw.) Her voters didn’t care.[/quote]

Just like the North Carolina-11 race where a 24-year-old kid with no work experience and no college education won against an Air Force colonel who is a administrative judge.

I just don't know what to say anymore...[/quote]

Well, and that kid is also fascinated by Nazis so there’s that. Lack of formal education is one thing - fascist and bigoted leanings are another. That’s what’s deeply troubling to me. Jewish space lasers, FFS ....[/quote]
