Piers Morgan And Marjorie Taylor Greene Spar In Interview

Things quickly got heated in an interview between Piers Morgan and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after the British media personality confronted his guest about her support for a “crazy” conspiracy theory and Donald Trump’s election lies.Greene appeared on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” this week to promote her forthcoming book — which she mentioned so frequently that at one point Morgan told her she’d “plugged it enough.”Toward the start of the interview, Morgan asked Greene about the “complete gobbledygook” she wrote in a 2018 Facebook post speculating that a laser linked to the Rothschilds, a prominent Jewish family often targeted in antisemitic conspiracy theories, had started wildfires in California.Greene insisted “that was a lie about me” because her post didn’t explicitly use the ...

Marjorie Taylor Greene Hilariously Self-Owns With Simple Dictionary Definition

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was brought to book on X, formerly Twitter, after she shared the dictionary definition of a word she’d used to rant about fellow House Republicans.After Greene had slammed as “feckless” the House Republicans who’d voted down her resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) ― whom she had accused of “antisemitic activity” over her anti-Israel comments ― Greene shared the definition of the term.It was defined as “lacking initiative or strength of character.”Merriam-Webster dictionary, meanwhile, defines the term as meaning “weak, ineffective” and “worthless, irresponsible.”Synonyms include “ineffectual,” “ineffective” and “inefficient.”X users suggested it was a self-own for the conspiracy theory-peddling extremist congresswoman: ...

House Dem Spots Problem With GOP Plan To Make Trump Next Speaker

Some far-right Republican members of the House say they want Donald Trump to become the next speaker after Kevin McCarthy’s stunning ouster on Tuesday threw the body into chaos. GOP Reps. Troy Nehls (Tex.), Greg Steube (Fla.) and Marjorie Taylor-Greene (Ga.) all tweeted in support of Trump becoming speaker, while Jim Jordan (Ohio) told Fox News that if Trump wants to be speaker “that’s fine, too.” Fox News host Sean Hannity claimed Trump “might be open” to the idea.There is no rule saying the speaker must be a member of the House, although every speaker so far has been. But there’s a big problem with the GOP plan to make Trump the first non-member to wield the gavel: Their own rules. Rep. Sean Casten (D-Il.) gave his Republican colleagues a reminder of Rule 26, which was adopted in Januar...

Marjorie Taylor Greene Slammed Over ‘Seceding’ Message

Conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was called out on social media on Monday after she gave secession yet another shout-out. “If the Biden admin refuses to stop the invasion of cartel led human and drug trafficking into our country, states should consider seceding from the union,” wrote Greene, a close ally of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).She also called Biden’s border policies “traitorous” in her message on X (formerly Twitter), which she posted on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Greene has made similar calls in the past. On President’s Day, she called for a “national divorce” “We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this,” she wrote in a post that many Democrats and Republicans alike...

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Chris Christie Debate Remark Racist

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican who once spoke at a white nationalist conference, took issue with what she deemed to be a “racist” incident at Wednesday’s GOP primary debate.“I was pretty disgusted at Chris Christie and his racist comment towards Vivek Ramaswamy,” Greene said during a discussion on Right Side Broadcasting Network at the event, hosted by Fox News, in Milwaukee. “He compared him with Obama. I honestly thought that was pretty racist.”Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, called out his rival on stage after the entrepreneur basically recycled a line used by former President Barack Obama.Greene: I was pretty disgusted by Chris Christie and his racist comment towards Vivek Ramaswamy… He compared him to Obama.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Manifesting Her Dreams, Wonders If She’ll Become VP

Marjorie Taylor Greene has big dreams. The U.S. representative from Georgia used to openly pine for a seat on the influential House Oversight Committee — before eventually getting one. Now Greene is seemingly trying to manifest the next chapter of her political career, speculating about joining the White House with Donald Trump.In an interview published Wednesday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Greene said that she hasn’t decided whether she’ll eventually run for U.S. Senate or maybe become Trump’s running mate. But in her mind, the sky’s the limit for what she can achieve after winning two elections.“I haven’t made up my mind whether I will do that or not,” Greene said about potentially launching a Senate campaign. “I have a lot of things to think about. Am I going to be a part of P...
