More bad news for embattled congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Rep. Jimmy Gomez of California has introduced a resolution to expel the antigay representative from Congress, citing her history of trafficking in conspiracy theories that “advocated violence against our peers, the speaker, and our government.”
Speaking on the House floor Friday, Gomez said he felt compelled to introduce the resolution because, “I believe some of my Republican colleagues, and one in particular, wish harm upon this legislative body.”
“It is what I believed after this chamber was turned into a crime scene just 10 weeks ago,” he added, referring to the January 6 insurrection.
How about we take this to the next level?

Green has been pulling all sorts of outrageous stunts since taking office in January, including posting a transphobic sign outside her office, introducing articles of impeachment against Joe Biden 24 hours after he was inaugurated, and co-sponsoring a bill outlawing Pride flags on U.S. embassies.
She’s also had a number of old social media posts come back to haunt her, including a video calling for Nancy Pelosi to be executed, another video chasing after school shooting survivors, and another video grabbing the crotch of a Donald Trump cardboard cutout.
Then there was that video of her urging people to commit acts of violence on U.S. Capitol grounds.
holy s**t, this is Greene talking about a 1/23/20 protest she helped organize and her want to have the crowd invade the capitol
wonder what the cross over was between those planning the 1/23/20 protest and the 1/6/2021 protest pic.twitter.com/6DLVBbJvoA

“I take no joy in introducing this resolution, but any member who incites political violence and threatens our lives must be expelled,” Gomez said when introducing his resolution to oust Greene. “And I will do everything I can in my power to protect our democracy and keep all my colleagues safe.”
The chances of the resolution passing are slim to none, since it would require a two-thirds vote and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at a press conference that it doesn’t reflect the leadership’s position.
But, she added, “Members are very unhappy about what happened here and they can express themselves the way they do. What Mr. Gomez did is his own view.”
Last month, Greene, who ran for her seat unopposed last year, was stripped of her of her committee posts. She is calling the attempt to have her expelled from Congress “pure projection” by Democrats.
The Democrat attempt to expel me is pure projection.@VP & @IlhanMN encouraged BLM / Antifa riots by helping bail domestic terrorist out of jail. @ericswalwell slept with a Chinese spy.
All of this while they were *in Congress.* pic.twitter.com/CPIl1weEMp

Pelosi should not have said what she did. She may be a good speaker but, she is entrenched in the establishment to the detriment of all of congress. She needs to grow a spine and stop bowing. And, she needs to stop getting in the way of progress. She doesn’t have a good record with that. Greene is a monster and needs to be dealt with. Pelosi would let another insurrection happen because she’s too wrapped up in her politics.
briantopher
Well said. Greene should be jailed.

Pray tell how Pelosi “would let another insurrection happen…?” She’s not in the executive branch whose job it is to enforce laws. If “her politics” means passing COVID relief bills and the Equality Act, I’m very happy that she’s “too wrapped up” in that.

Besides a spine you should get a brain Trollee.

Pelosi is NOT the problem. The republican party has done so much much worse. Look at when Moscow Mitch was in charge of the senate and all the shit he pulled. She is not UNAMERICAN. SHe is not promoting treason.

Don’t worry about it too much, Pelosi will turn over the gavel in two years to the new Republican leader when she manages to fudge it up yet again with the hubris and the selling out.
Then nothing gets done.

Green is just a f ucking ignorant C UNT!!!!
chazzro39
Geez, what do you really think of her? Seriously, you’re so right. Unfortunately she’ll keep doing all kinds of shit just because she’s a member of congress. She should be sent to a shrink. The only problem is that there probably isn’t one who would take her since she’s beyond help. I wonder if she really believes all that garbage or just wants attention. If the latter, she’s serious deranged.

Please burst into flames

The biggest crime is that hair. Obviously, she has NO gay friends.
missvamp
right? no one at all the fix her look. she’s pretty hideous & she can stay that way, all the way to jail.
ryuichi
Of course, she is garbage. What worries me more is that there were so many people who voted for her, knowing a priori what her opinions and methods are. It’s those voters who are the great danger to our democracy.
cuteguy
Stop giving this C UNT attention. The Dems are playing into her hand and giving her the attention this narcissist needs. Narcissistic ppl need any kind of attention, even negative bc it fuels them. The Dems have to start playing the game smarter. McConnell May be evil and corrupt but he knows how to play the game

Expelling her from all committees was a good first step. If she’s not on any committees she won’t be able to deliver any “pork” to her district. Eventually, her constituency will get tired of her not doing anything for them and vote her out of office . . . . hopefully! I know those who voted for her are as stupid as she is but there might be someone with enough balls to run against her next time and point out how useless she is. And I agree, Democrats have to ignore her and stop making it easy for her to get cheap publicity. There are a lot of Repubs who are sick of her antics. Just ignore her.
BaltoSteve
I don’t know about that. Jim Jordan has done a damn thing for his constituency in congress for 12 years, and they keep reelecting him. Never underestimate the value of “The Devil You Know” in politics.
Robert Bradley
She is a fvcking cvnt b!tch. Buh bye
BoomerMyles
Someone needs to take out Green next election.

Georgia must really be bad if you can’t even get a competing candidate against this crazy CQNT.
She may not be doing shit for them but I guess hating the same people and getting her name out there as the POS that she is works good enough for her base.
GayEGO
Expel Marjorie Taylor Greene NOW! She is a horrible example of what an American should be!
Mr. Stadnick
She sadly is a example of what America really is.

All conservatives are rotten, ignorant human beings motivated only by hate and greed. Taylor-Greene is no different than any other conservative, just more vocal about it. They should all be locked in cages like the vermin they are.
