'I could care less!' Marjorie Taylor Greene explodes with anger after she's blamed for death of conservatism
December 08, 2021
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said on Wednesday that MAGA fans should prepare for a "long-term war" against liberals but she insisted that the fight did not necessarily need to be "bloody."
"They are singling you out as the problem," Bannon told Greene during an interview on Real America's Voice, referring to a column by David Brooks that declared the death of conservatism.
"He doesn't get to define Trumpism," Greene said. "I represent the American people. These are the same people they look down on. These are the same people that they forget about. These are the same people they can't even relate to because they are so stuck up because they are so highly educated and because they think they are so much better than everyone."
"I'm happy to be the face of the American people," she ranted before saying that traditional Republicans had caused "alcoholism, drug abuse, depression, failed marriages and caused traditional families to fall apart and small towns to crumble."
Greene raised her voice as she continued.
"I could care less who David Brooks is!" she screamed. "I came here to fix it and I'm bringing the American people with me."
The Georgia lawmaker said that she would use "every bit of her energy" to rid the Republican Party of anyone who doesn't believe in the MAGA movement.
"You cannot stop the American people and the American people don't even have to be violent to take these people down," Greene remarked.
Bannon noted that Greene has been accused of creating "false narratives" about critical race theory and vaccine mandates.
"We haven't made anything up! We've told the truth!" Greene insisted. "And we're going to continue to tell the truth. And let me tell you something, this is going to be a long-term war in our country and it doesn't have to be a bloody war. But it is a war that we have to continue to fight."

Meadows text messages reveal he secretly chatted with GOP members about an election overthrow plot
December 08, 2021
Mark Meadows shared some of the contacts he had in or around Jan. 6 involving the White House's attempts to stop the certification of the 2020 election, according to a letter from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol and what led to it.
According to the Committee's Chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), Meadows had a conversation with a member of Congress who suggested an alternative slate of electors. The member confessed that the idea would be a "highly controversial" one, but Meadows still said, "I love it."
"The text messages you did produce include a Nov. 6, 2020, text exchange with a Member of Congress apparently about appointing alternate electors in certain states as part of a plan that the Member acknowledged would be 'highly controversial' and to which Mr. Meadows apparently said, 'I love it'; an early Jan. 2021 text message exchange between Mr. Meadows and an organizer of the Jan. 6 rally on the Ellipse' and text messages about the need for the former President to issue a public statement that could have stopped the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol," an excerpt of the letter from Thompson to Meadows' lawyer says.
The messages were from Meadows' personal cell phone, which don't appear to have been turned over to the National Archives, in violation of the Presidential Records Act.

GOP challengers waiting for Trump decision on 2024: 'It would be a suicide mission to run against him'
December 08, 2021
Donald Trump has frozen out his would-be 2024 challengers by waiting to announce whether he'll seek re-election for a second time.
Some potential contenders have hired advisers, met with donors and visited key primary states ahead of a potential campaign, but it's not clear any of them would actually challenge the twice-impeached one-term president in a Republican primary race, reported CNN.
"Unless there's a dramatic shift in the base, the nomination is Donald Trump's and it would be a suicide mission to run against him," said an aide to one would-be contender. "[But] we aren't ever going to admit that. It turns off voters we might need down the road."
Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor and a possible 2024 candidate, has suggested voters should write off any candidate who says they won't run if Trump does.

"If you're saying you're deferring to someone," Christie said earlier this year, "that's a real sign of both weakness and indecision."
Two senators who backed Trump's efforts to overturn his election loss -- Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley -- are among the possible contenders, and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott are also widely seen as potential candidates, but the field would likely be locked out if the former president does decide to run.
"Of the 30 or so people who are out there thinking about this or dreaming about it," said an Abbott adviser, "it's an honest assessment to say that if you like the Trump brand of policies, it will be very difficult to break through with voters if he is also competing in the race."
