Marjorie Taylor Greene

Speaker Nancy Pelosi drops the hammer on McCarthy for refusing to stop QAnon congresswoman

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) didn't hold back on Wednesday after Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) met with QAnon Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) but refused to act to stop her behavior.

"After several conversations and literally running away from reporters, Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Q-CA), " the statement began referring to McCarthy as a member of the Q Party, "made clear that he is refusing to take action against conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. As a result, the House will continue with a vote to strip Greene of her seat on the esteemed House Committee on Education & Labor and House Committee on Budget. McCarthy's failure to lead his party effectively hands the keys over to Greene — an anti-Semite, QAnon adherent and 9/11 Truther."

Why arch-conservative Liz Cheney is now considered too liberal for some GOP extremists

When Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2016, no one was going to mistake her for a Rockefeller Republican. Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is an arch-conservative known for her decidedly hawkish and pro-neocon views on foreign policy. But in 2021, the 54-year-old congresswoman finds herself being slammed as too left-wing by far-right extremists in the Republican Party — and her cardinal sin, as they see it, is believing that inciting violent insurrection is an impeachable offense.

On January 6, violent insurrection came to Washington, D.C. when a mob of extremists — including QAnon supporters, members of the Proud Boys, White nationalists and members of various militia groups — stormed the U.S. Capitol Building in the hope of preventing the certification of former Vice President Joe Biden's Electoral College victory. Then-President Donald Trump had spent two months promoting the debunked conspiracy theory that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him because of widespread voter fraud, and the mob that stormed the Capitol Building obviously believed him. Some of the insurrectionists were calling for the lynching of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then-Vice President Mike Pence, who the insurrectionists believed had betrayed Trump.

‘Craven and ineffectual’: Kevin McCarthy blasted for being ‘unprepared’ to handle QAnon congresswoman

House Minority Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is under fire for his ineffectual handling of QAnon conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA), who has among other offenses, openly and repeatedly supported the execution of the Speaker of the House.

The list of Congresswoman Greene's trespasses, transgressions, and some would say treasonous behaviors is long, and came to the fore early last week, followed by more this week. Many expected and demand McCarthy, who once was Republicans' top choice to replace John Boehner as Speaker, to quickly punish Greene, but instead he placed her on several committees.

Ex-GOP rep.: McCarthy is cowering on Greene because he's afraid to 'diminish' his own fundraising

GOP will remain in the ‘wilderness’ if it makes Marjorie Taylor Greene the face of their party: WSJ editorial

Although former President Donald Trump has praised her, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has become a major embarrassment to the Republican Party — and even hardcore GOP ideologues like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are saying that her "looney" extremism has no place in the GOP. But among House Republicans, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming is receiving a lot more criticism than Greene. And the Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board, in an editorial published on February 2, stresses that the fates of Greene and Cheney will determine the future of the GOP.

Cheney is being slammed as a RINO (Republican in Name Only) by many Trump sycophants for coming out in favor of impeaching the former president, who she clearly blames for the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol Building. Greene, however, is an unwavering Trump supporter, which still counts for a lot in the GOP — even though Trump left the White House on January 20 and Joe Biden is two weeks into his presidency.

‘We will never back down’: Marjorie Taylor Greene serves up defiant religious rant vowing to only serve God

Embattled U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) served up a fiery, defiant religious rant on social media Wednesday morning, and speaking in the third person, vowing to only "serve" and "bow to" God. "We will never back down," she promised. At 6:42 AM Greene, whose Twitter bio indicates she is a "Christian, Wife, Mom, Small Business Owner, Proud American, 100% Pro-Life, Pro-Gun, Pro-Trump #MAGA," posted a tweet praising God. About an hour later, Greene responded to a Politico report stating House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy was leaning toward stripping her of her committee assignments, declaring that no matter what he does, "it would never be enough for the hate America Democrats." The "hate America Democrats" is a favorite phrase of Greene's. Rather than attack McCarthy, who holds her future in his hands, she went after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, whose execution she has repeatedly supported. "As much as [McCarthy] genuinely tries to work with @SpeakerPelosi for the good of this country, she refuses to see the hypocrisy of her own conference," Greene claimed. She then proceeded to attack well-known Democratic lawmakers, although not mentioning them by name. These are not new attacks from Greene, she has made most of these before, but they are vitriolic and most are unfounded.
