Poor Marjorie Taylor Greene!
The nutty Georgia Republican is no longer the “cool conspiracy theorist” around Congress. Instead, she’s just a loser with no friends who’s Republicans have grown tired of her self-aggrandizing act and social media stunts.
At this rate, MTG may be stuck eating lunch alone in a phone booth. She couldn’t even drum up enough votes last week to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, one of the right’s favorite villains who’s under intense scrutiny over her controversial comments about the war in the Gaza Strip.
Our deranged MAGA queen is losing clout… fast!
Multiple Republicans sounded off against MTG to the Daily Beast, painting her as a reactionary obstructionist.
“She’s creating her own enemies through unprovoked, unwarned, and unsubstantiated attacks,” said a GOP lawmaker. “Embarrassing herself through launching attacks she later has to retract due to their inaccuracies.”
The trouble for Greene started when she backed Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker, which ostracized the homophobic politician from her now-former friends in the conservative Freedom Caucus.
Without her far-right buddies, Greene is on a political island. She turned off mainstream Republicans long ago, giving her nowhere to turn. And the isolation is causing her to lash out.
When her resolution to censure Tlaib failed, she attacked Texas Rep. Chip Roy, one of the 23 Republicans who voted against it.
“You voted to kick me out of the freedom caucus, but keep CNN wannabe Ken Buck and vaping groping Lauren Boebert and you voted with the Democrats to protect Terrorist Tlaib,” she wrote.
“You hate Trump, certified Biden’s election, and could care less about J6 defendants being persecuted.”
How does it feel to know that your own party isn't behind you? Karma. 😂

Before we get to “vaping groping Lauren Boebert” (there’s quite a backstory between those gals), let’s focus on Roy. Following the resolution vote, he said he thought Tlaib was “worthy of censure,” but couldn’t sign on to Greene’s “feckless resolution,”
Roy said the resolution was “deeply flawed” and made “legally and factually unverified claims,” such as accusing Tlaib of leading an insurrection.
When today’s Republicans think you’re stretching the truth too far, you know you’re in trouble!
Later, Roy told reporters he thinks MTG should “focus on chasing so-called Jewish space lasers if she wishes to spend her time on such matters.”
Tehehe!
Greene, of course, fired back at Roy. Like every schoolyard bully (or catty gay), she turned to his appearance.
One of Roy’s fellow Texas Republicans, Rep. Troy Nehls, had his back.
“Childish in many ways,” he said about Greene’s insults. “Does he look like Colonel Sanders? I don’t know how beneficial that is to start attacking other conservatives.”
For the record, Roy does kind of look like the KFC mascot, but that’s besides the point!
“What do you feel you’re accomplishing there, you know?,” added Nehls. “Chip’s a pretty conservative guy… What do you feel you are personally gaining from that?”
It’s pretty astonishing that Republicans are just figuring out now that MTG is nothing more than a selfish carnival barker; but hey, better late than never!
“There is no one I have heard from, dozens of members, who are happy with her, that trust her [or] confide in her,” said a Republican congressperson.
One of Greene’s closet allies used to be Boebert, whom she verbally accosted in a women’s restroom at the start of the year.
If you can think of a better analogy than two of the GOP’s biggest bottom feeders arguing in a bathroom, let us know!
According to reports, Greene was upset with Boebert’s refusal to back McCarthy in his first speakership fight. Later, on the House Floor, she called Boebert a “little b*tch,” sources say.
Hmmm…who could those sources be???
Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, a rising MAGA star in his own right, was blunt when asked about whether Greene is losing allies.
“Yeah,” he said. “Is she concerned about that? I don’t think so.”
Wow. It’s a shame to see Greene, one of the most grotesquely anti-LGBTQ+ members of Congress, separated from her group of hateful peers.
But there is one prominent Republican who’s staying close to MTG: our one-term, twice–impeached, quadruply-indicted ex-president.
Two of Donald Trump‘s operatives are quoted in the Daily Beast story calling Greene their “most loyal soldier” and “mouthpiece.”
What a legacy!
Mister P
Let’s refrain from calling her a queen on a gay site. Something that everyone agrees is derogatory would be better. I don’t want to disrespect female dogs or witches or body parts either.
abfab
Yeah, no queen for her!
Kangol2
MTG is the walking, barking, raging, ranting, lying, teen-stalking, incoherent embodiment of Don the Con’s MAGA Repugs! She’s yours, GQP, claim her!
abfab
Oh god, her again?

@Kangol2
Yes, Marjorie Taylor Greene is ours, just like Rashida Tlaib is yours.
However, only one supports the rape of women and girls until their pelvis breaks, taking hostages of men, women, children and elderly, burning entire families alive and beheading babies. Congratulations.
dbmcvey
If you want her, you’re welcome to her.
dbmcvey
But you also have Lauren Boebert, Virginia Fox, Marsha Blackburn, Kari Lake, Sarah Palin, Nancy Mace…
dbmcvey
Oh, and Sarah Huckabee, as well as Louie Gohmert, Matt Gaetz, Mike Johnson, George Santos…
abfab
Pelvis breaks….pelvis breaks, pelvis breaks. We get it…plevis breaks. You are one big, dumb broken record. Seek help. Find a facility near you and check yourself in.
SoPluckyWhat
Ever hear of “The Crusades”? How many babies are being slaughtered right now in Gaza?
Kangol2
Baronin, your sick fantasies are running far ahead of you! You can keep that catalogue to yourself. Oh, and let’s not forget, your GQP President George W. Bush launched two disastrous wars that blew Iraqi and Afghan women and children to smithereens, all in a futile search for fake “weapons of mass destruction” and Osama bin Laden, who, it turns out, was in Pakistan! But hey, a 11-year war and a 20-year war that left hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, including women and children, dead and maimed (and a bare semblance of a government in both countries), is something you and the GQP can claim! Congratulations!

When did she publicly state she supports any of that? NEVER. When did Marjorie support NAZI’s ? Always.

And BW supports homophobia, mysogyny, treason and insurrection just for starters.
Mister P
Snap out of it Baron. Of course you know that no American Democrats support that. I guess it is good for firing up the base that has trouble thinking straight, though.
Baron Wiseman
@Mister P
Are you kidding!?!
Have you not seen the hundreds of thousands protesting across our country for Palestinian? Actually, supporting Islamic terrorism.
Do you you think all those radicals voted for Donald Trump!!?!!
dbmcvey
Oxymoron just makes stuff up.
Kangol2
Baronin mainlines Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, FoxNews, and the like. He doesn’t understand the difference between the Palestinian people and Hamas, which was put in power in 2007 in part thanks to the f*ckery of George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice! You won’t hear that even on mainstream TV but you can look it up!
Baron Wiseman
@Kangol2
Regardless of Palestinian legislative elections being held on January 25, 2006 and the result was a “win” for Hamas (74 seats Hamas, 45 Fatah seats), it didn’t sit right with Hillary Clinton as the Palestinians had voted for Hamas.
Hillary is on audio saying, “I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake and if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”
Fixing elections. Where have we heard that before? Talk about “you won’t hear that even on mainstream TV.”
Ronbo
Yes, Hillary is our neoliberal mistake. Let’s hope we stop the slaughter of children, innocent men and women.
Take the side of “peace”, compassion and acceptance. War may be profitable; but, it is soul crushing. The blow-back from our poor choices ensures the need for more weapons. It’s a dead end.

I’ve no doubt Marge has a level of self awareness to be well accustomed to being friendless.
bachy
The kind of person I’d expect to see ranting behind a dumpster outside a strip club at 4am – and not on the floor of Congress.
Mister P
Supporting the Palestinian people is not the same as supporting terrorism. Come on dude. Get real.
Ronbo
THIS!

What’s a phone booth?

Back in the middle ages, my middle ages, there was this thing called a “landline”. Actually, they weren’t called that…they were just called Telephones.

She checks all the coin return slots for loose change.

And…..While party lines are relatively rare nowadays, they still exist. Party lines necessitate a certain amount of courtesy. However, because people are always as courteous and understanding as they should be, New York has a law that requires you to relinquish a party line if the line is needed to make an emergency call.
Those were the days!
