Marjorie Taylor Greene has lashed out at fellow Republican lawmakers following the defeat of Herschel Walker in Georgia.
Greene is a US Representative for Georgia’s 14th District. She says she felt purposefully excluded from campaigning alongside Walker.
Instead, Texas Senator Ted Cruz and South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham made several visits to Georgia to bolster Walker’s campaign. They also appeared alongside Walker for high-profile TV interviews.
In the wake of Walker’s defeat, which gave Democrats a 51-seat majority in the Senate, many on the right are now playing the blame game. And Greene has Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell in her sights.
“Rudeness”
Appearing on the Steve Bannon War Room podcast, Greene whined about not having a more high-profile role in Walker’s campaign.
“This is for Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham and the rest of the Republican senators; you guys are the reasons why we are losing Republican races all over the country.
“And this is your third loss in my home state. So, let me inform you on behalf of Georgia, this is your third strike and you’re out!
“I was never asked very often by the Herschel Walker campaign to come speak at any of his campaign events. They only asked me to maybe two I think.
“Two or three in my own district when he was campaigning all over the state, running for Senate. But they only asked me a couple of times in my own district, which I find extremely insulting.
“The audacity and really frank rudeness of the campaign consultants and Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham where they thought, you know, we’re going to keep Marjorie Taylor Greene away from Herschel Walker.
“I think it was really a major mistake and an insult to me and insult to people who support me and Republicans all over Georgia.”

Hand holding
Greene took another swipe online. Responding to a Tweet blaming Donald Trump’s support for Walker for the election failure, Greene said Trump was not to blame. Instead, “Blame the one who was hand holding him all over the state, among many other reasons.”
This has to be the dumbest assessment of our Senate loss,
His campaign told Trump to stay out, so don’t blame Trump.
Blame the one who was hand holding him all over the state, among many other reasons. https://t.co/yvVB0urpDT

It’s not clear whether this was a reference to Ted Cruz or Lindsey Graham. However, as Greene’s not publicly criticized Cruz on this matter, our money’s on Graham.
Online, many expressed doubt over Greene’s power to persuade people to vote for Walker.
Her misguided grandiose sense of self never ceases to amaze me. MGT is a legend in her own mind!

It’s extremely insulting that the Titanic didn’t request a second iceberg.

Stop covering ol’ Mooseface. She only makes inflammatory statements to control the media narrative because she has not been in a position to shape policy, so she’s used her time in office being a social media influencer who happens to vote in the House of Representatives.
She’s Trump 2.0 and the entire American media environment is playing right into it when she should be investigating the extent of her involvement in organizing the January 6th terror attack.

Off subject, but where has resident “your troll game is sad and weak” Cam gone? So many political Republican posts, and his broken record responses aren’t here to “stick it” to anyone who disagrees with his psychosis and mania?
On subject, Madge starts to look more and more like a man the older she gets.

I do believe they doubled his dose of thorazine. The straps on his str8 jacket simply weren’t holding him.

I imagine Cam freaking out in the psych ward because he thinks all the nurses and doctors are ALL the same person (i.e. troll). After all the sedatives, he must be pretty “sad and weak” himself.

This genius is like a turd in the House of Representatives toilet that refuses to be flushed. Someone get a plunger!

It looks like the GQP wanted her as much as her husband did.

Poor Marge. She never did nothin’ to nobody! It’s not like she ever harassed the survivor of a school shooting or anything.

MTG + Walker together = Republican nonsense in stereo. better it was kept in mono and best if not heard at all.

“Greene whined she about not enjoying a more high-profile role in Walker’s campaign.”
Queerty..at least pretend to proof read your articles.

She is the female version of Trump.
Actually said:
“And this is your third loss in my home state. So, let me inform you on behalf of Georgia, this is your third strike and you’re out!”
So three losses in her home state and it she has absolutely nothing to do with that or would even contemplate partial responsibility?
DELUSIONAL!!!!!

Trump has a certain sweaty, gross charisma that Marge doesn’t have. I don’t get it but it seems like conservatives love it.

“youse guys are the reasons..” someone like this represents GA. any more questions?

Cummon MTG. We know you said hand jobbing not “hand holding”. Now don’t hold back.

“I was never asked very often by the Herschel Walker campaign to come speak at any of his campaign events.”
Hell, even WALKER knew better.
still_onthemark
If she’d “helped” the campaign in a big way like she’s describing, Walker would have lost by another whole point at least!

Rude? Hardly. MTG will never be the lady that Lindsay is.

Ha!-Ha!-Ha!

I’m doubtful MTG can walk and chew gum at the same time! But just wait until the House GQP empower and unleash her when they take over in January. It’s going to be a circus, to put it mildly.
