"Communist Blogger" is my favorite Neutral Milk Hotel song https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1352340910483386369
Anyway, here are some of the "communist" blog posts about the Qongresswoman from Georgia (thread)
In 2018, she agreed with someone who said that 9/11 was an inside job and argued that the school shooting in Parkland, FL was a false flag. https://www.mediamatters.org/false-flag-conspiracy-theory/facebook-2018-rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-endorsed-conspiracy-theories
And then there's another time she said that the Parkland shooting was fake https://www.mediamatters.org/false-flag-conspiracy-theory/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-facebook-2018-parkland-school-shooting-was
She claimed that there was "never any evidence" that a plane was flown into the Pentagon on 9/11 https://www.mediamatters.org/congress/qanon-candidate-marjorie-taylor-greene-911-conspiracy-theorist-who-claimed-theres-no
She once recorded herself going on a deranged rant arguing that Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are illegitimate members of congress because they didn't take their oaths on the Bible (you do not need to take your oath on the Bible, but MTG is a goddamn moron) https://www.mediamatters.org/congress/marjorie-taylor-greene-visited-capitol-and-tried-get-reps-ilhan-omar-and-rashida-tlaib
In December 2018, she posted a video that claimed that Jewish people were trying to destroy Europe through immigration. https://www.mediamatters.org/congress/marjorie-taylor-greene-shared-anti-muslim-video-portrays-jewish-people-trying-destroy
When a Trump supporter mailed pipe bombs to Democratic politicians, Greene called it a "hoax," arguing that Dems mailed them to themselves. (It was not a hoax. The man who did it pleaded guilty. 20 year sentence.) https://www.mediamatters.org/congress/members-congress-received-pipe-bombs-2018-house-candidate-marjorie-taylor-greene-called-it
She posted a video (she posted a LOT of videos) making the absolutely bonkers claim that Obama hired MS-13 to assassinate DNC staffer Seth Rich https://www.mediamatters.org/seth-rich-conspiracy-theory/gop-backed-house-candidate-marjorie-taylor-greene-obama-administration
Also in 2018, she posted a video claiming that Obama was a Muslim, and that he "opened up our borders to an invasion by Muslims" (she *really* does not like Muslims) https://www.mediamatters.org/congress/qanon-candidate-marjorie-taylor-greene-911-conspiracy-theorist-who-claimed-theres-no
In a 2018 speech, she praised the militia movement: "Because when our government gets to a place where it’s a tyrannical government, we’re guaranteed the right to bear arms and make a state militia so that they do not run us over" https://www.mediamatters.org/congress/marjorie-taylor-greene-praised-militia-members-said-women-who-are-gun-safety-activists
And then some stuff that other places reported:
Last year, Green posted an image of her holding a gun next to images of Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and Tlaib, saying that it was time to go on "offense against these socialists" https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/04/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-gun-post-squad/index.html
And she once wrote that she believed the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville was an "inside job." https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/25/politics/kfile-marjorie-greene-spread-conspiracies/index.html
NBC reported that she wrote "dozens of articles" for the conspiracy theory site American Truth Seekers that spread all sorts of conspiracy theories (a belief that Hillary Clinton murders her enemies, mass shootings are fake, etc.) https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/georgia-congressional-candidate-s-writings-highlight-qanon-support-n1236724
Politico reported that she said Muslims don't belong in government, said that black people "are held slaves to the Democratic Party," called George Soros a Nazi, and added that if she were black (she is not), she'd be proud to see confederate monuments. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/06/17/house-republicans-condemn-gop-candidate-racist-videos-325579
If this thread is getting a bit unwieldy, fear note. Here's a lot of that stuff all in one place: https://www.mediamatters.org/congress/guide-likely-member-congress-marjorie-taylor-greenes-conspiracy-theories-and-toxic
The Qongresswoman is Qrazy, but not Qommunist, I guess
If you find this kind of reporting helpful, follow @ehananoki (who has done so much of this amazing reporting) and @AlKapDC (who has done a great job covering the rise of QAnon movement), as well as the rest of us communist bloggers over at @mmfa
At any point, @RepMTG could clarify whether or not she thinks Parkland was a false flag, if 9/11 was an inside job, if she believes a plane hit the Pentagon, if she actually thinks Obama hired MS-13 to murder a DNC staffer, if she really thinks Clinton murders her enemies...
But she chooses not to. Hard to call videos that you filmed yourself "fake news," but you do you, Qongresswoman.
