‘Seditious scumbag’: Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel likens ‘60 minutes’ to Fox News after Marjorie Taylor Greene interview

Marjorie Taylor Greene Sunday night, normalizing and mainstreaming the far-right Georgia Republican, but perhaps few have done so as expressively as retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Moe Davis.
