Fresh off the heels of comparing mask mandates to the yellow stars European Jews were forced to wear during the Holocaust, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has become ensnared in yet another Nazi scandal. This time it’s involving a hypothetical statue of Adolf Hitler.
Recently unearthed video shows the QAnon congresswoman arguing about monuments during a city council meeting. It was recorded in June 2020, shortly after she won her GOP primary, and shared on Twitter this week by reporter Jake Sherman.
?tipster sent me this video.@mtgreenee said she would not support taking down a statue of Hitler or Satan even though she “fully disagrees" with them.

In it, then-candidate Greene is seen speaking before the city council in Dalton, Georgia. She bemoans “attacks” on statues of figures like George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and Christopher Columbus, saying she’s opposed to removing monuments of people she “fully disagree[s] with.”
Then she names Adolf Hitler and “Satan himself” as examples, telling the council, “I would not want to say take it down” in an effort to “teach others about who these people are, what they did.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed during remarks last year that she wouldn't support the removal of hypothetical statues of Hitler or Satan "so that I could tell my children and teach others about who these people are."

Yesterday, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy issued a statement condemning Greene’s comments about mask mandates and the Holocaust, saying, “Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling.”
He added, “The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history. The fact that this needs to be said is deeply troubling.”
Neither he nor Greene have issued any comment on this latest video of her championing statues of Hitler. Although folx on Twitter sure have a lot to say about it…
Hitler and Satan are trending right now and I just knew it was about Marjorie Taylor Greene before I even clicked on it

No matter how many weak letters written by Kevin McCarthy, the GOP owns 100% of the antisemitism and hatred from Hitler and Satan statue loving Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Marjorie Taylor Greene does not want the historical statues of Hitler and Satan removed from her patio.

After Nazi Germany, statues of Hitler were removed. Yet, no German forgot the Holocaust. In fact, every child is well-educated on Germany's awful history.
But of course Marjorie Taylor Greene would argue to keep statues of Hitler and Satan, considering they seem to be her idols.

If Marjorie Taylor Greene's contribution to America is making the left call for an end to Hitler analogies, we need to make space for her on Mount Rushmore.

Let me see if I have this straight. Marjorie Taylor Greene needs a statue of Adolf Hitler to remember history, but Tulsa, Oklahoma can't convince the federal government to add the historic black neighborhood of Greenwood to the National Register of Historic Places.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's argument about keeping statues of "Hitler or Satan" to teach her children is bullshit.
Marjorie Taylor Greene wouldn't see a Confederate statue and teach her children about slavery. She'd teach them to be proud of their whiteness.

Satan, Hitler, and the Holocaust, 3 things I'd never want associated with my name!

She’s an absolute horrible person. She’s dangerous. So, what is it about us that drives 40% of Americans to hate us more than her? It is a serious question that requires real thought. It isn’t our core beliefs, it is our fringe extremes that sustain them.

IF THATS THE WAY NSHE THINKS SEND HER TO GERMANY!
BoomerMyles
An absolute nutbag yet so representative of 33% of this country.

Even the small bus won’t pick her up anymore.

Today’s Republican party. Pro Hitler, anti-America

MT Green is a backward uneducated person representing a backward uneducated electorate – the same people (or maybe their parents) voted for George Wallace once upon a time. [I’m not going to say anything about how she looks in those shorts.]
The sad truth is that today’s Republican party would evaporate without this base of “Wallace-voters”, and only through voter suppression can they survive or maybe even win.
It’s time for good people to do something.

Horrible, horrible person. A Qanon wacko

Why is Queerty giving oxygen to a hack like Scott Adams? Is there a “whataboutism” quota that has to be met?
Heywood Jablowme
Yeah – Queerty is apparently unaware that Scott Adams is a Trump supporter. And that tweet is not exactly anti-MTG.
hotdogla
Scott Adams uses his platform to spread misinformation. He loves to show off his house and his 20 something bride while he pets his cat and spews hateful hateful things. He once told the story of how he was fired because they needed to fill a quota and hired a minority. I cant believe he is still syndicated with all the crap he spews.
MissTerri
So now Queerty is saying nice things about Jews when it fits their agenda? HMMMMM!!!!!
Den
Do you have a caretaker?
Seems an idiot like you would definitely need someone of at least normal intelligence to feed and clean and dress them.
What exactly does your post mean, if you are able to tell us? When has Queerty espoused any negative feelings about Jews? Willing to be that you are more likely a font of antisemitism if riled, as that is common in dullards like you.

Once again…nothing about the article.
Mr. Stadnick
I must ask her WTF are you wearing to a city council meeting as a congressional candidate? Professional slag wear?
Fname Optional Lname
Pretty sure she would be hard pressed to find a statue of Hitler in public. In the privacy of people’s homes or maybe a man cave, but not in town square. Satan on the other hand is all over, especially Jersey!
cuteguy
This is the face of the GQP now. Hitler, Satan, Majorie Taylor Greene. Take your pick
scotty
just another vapid c unt
Jimmy
There’s gotta be a way to corral all these vapid c unts in the GOP and keep them locked up.
