‘So far beyond the realm of decency’: CNN anchor blasts Marjorie Taylor Greene – ‘don’t you dare speak for me’

Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's comments last week, comparing Speaker Nancy Pelosi's mask mandate to the Holocaust, are not going away, as much as House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy would like to keep ignoring them.

CNN anchor John Berman Monday morning blasted Greene, and in a moment of personal privilege invoked his religion to help him do so.

GOP buried for sticking with Marjorie Taylor Greene by CNN panel : 'Pre-Trump this is unimaginable'

A CNN panel on Monday buried the Republican Party for sticking by QAnon-loving Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) even as she continued to make outlandish statements comparing mask mandates to Nazi concentration camps.

While House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stripped Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) of her leadership position for refusing to stop criticizing former President Donald Trump, he so far has completely shied away from even criticizing Greene, who in recent months has gained a reputation for stalking Democratic colleagues.

John Oliver's reminder about electing GOP clowns: 'They're funny but they're also terrifying'

John Oliver addressed the candidacies of several hilariously bad Republicans this week, from Andrew Giuliani to St. Louis gun vigilante Mark McCloskey.

He began by talking about the District Attorney race in Philadelphia, where the white Republican candidate claims that he "understands Black people just about as well as a Black person. I'm not, just, I'm not going to say equal, but pretty good." A. Charles Peruto's reason was that he was born in West Philadelphia and had a friend he grew up with named Michael Jackson.

Anti-vaxxers' latest disinformation about health privacy laws smacked down by fact-checker

As of mid-May, nearly 40 percent of the U.S. population has been fully vaccinated, and over half of adults have received at least one dose. This has sparked debate over whether public health restrictions should be relaxed specifically for vaccinated individuals — a prospect that outrages anti-vaccine activists.

In fact, many of them have been promoting a new claim: that asking people for their vaccine status in the first place would be illegal under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and a violation of their civil rights. This has even been promoted by lawmakers like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who tweeted, "Vax records, along with ALL medical records are private due to HIPPA [sic] rights."

'Sickening': Marjorie Taylor Greene ripped for 'vile' comparison of masks and the Holocaust

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) compared mask rules to prevent coronavirus to the Holocaust, and got ripped to shreds on social media.

The Georgia congresswoman told a conservative podcaster that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to require masks in the House chamber, where 100 percent of Democrats say they've been vaccinated but fewer than 45 percent of Republicans will disclose they have, was basically the same as the Nazi persecution and extermination of Jews.

Matt Gaetz gaslights as his ex-girlfriend flips: ‘I’m not focused on scandal -- I’m focused on socialism’

U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) Friday evening tried to set up a smokescreen, insisting he's "not focused on scandal" as news breaks his ex-girlfriend has flipped and is now cooperating with federal authorities, just like his former "wingman," Joel Greenberg.

Gaetz, who is under federal investigation for possible sex trafficking and possible sex with a 17-year old girl, in an interview tried to minimize the charges against his friend, Greenberg, by suggesting he is in jail for defamation. Greenberg was facing dozens of charges, but currently the list stands at just six felonies after he entered a plea deal on Monday. Legal experts expect he is handing federal prosecutors evidence against the Florida GOP Congressman.

WATCH: Marjorie Taylor Greene says Nancy Pelosi’s COVID policies are ‘exactly’ like the Holocaust

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling the California Democratic leader who's been elected to Congress 18 times "mentally ill." On Thursday Greene said policies to protect vaccinated lawmakers and Capitol Hill staffers and visitors are "exactly" the same as those in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, when Hitler put millions of Jews and other minorities on trains and slaughtered them in gas chambers, often after forcing them to work in camps as they were starved.

"This woman is mentally ill," said Greene, a QAnon conspiracy theorist who was speaking to Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) reporter David Brody during an interview on the new far right wing streaming website Real America's Voice.
