McCarthy: Greene Comparing Mask Mandates To The Holocaust Is 'Appalling'
It was republicans singing ” Jews will not replace us”.
Took u.
Right
Stone face still st it. She is just looking attention.
@Weston W Yet another self-righteous egomaniac. Get over yourself and grow up.
That’s how fascism began in Germany.
mccarthy was hoping it would go away but has been forced to say something,hes a weak excuse for a leader of anything
MCCARTHY IS ONE OF THE LIBERALS. HE MIGHT AS WELL BE SINCE HE AGREES WITH THE LEFT MORE .
@mike briganti nonsense mike,hes full on crawling on his belly to trump
If the GOP was sincere about proposing decent leadership; they’d be giving serious consideration to John Cornyn, or Rob Portman.
The normalizing of abnormalities is placing the U.S. on a bad trajectory. Presidents are supposed to decide upon which policies we move forward with…. not design them. That is for the house of Congress, isn’t it?
….at least Congress gives our Representatives a chance to voice concerns and consult academia, and debate.
But each president seems to be taking more and more executive actions, and that is just plain unAmerican; because it denies the American people their representation via the house and Senate.
I know my take on it doesn’t matter; but i feel like I have a vested interest, having put some skin in the game while serving in the military. What happened at the Capitol Building was just plain unAmerican; those rioters weren’t patriots, and their behavior was definitely that of misguided individuals…. who are clearly of touch with reality.
The same mentality that led to those who stormed the Capitol Building and those who tore apart our country for 4 years, comes from the same place; the childish mentality of justifying one’s own behavior by pointing at the behavior of another….
And a genuine sense of passion, paired with ignorance.
Impropriety is impropriety, regardless of who does it. Rational adults have to be objective and refuse to allow nepotism to be used as an excuse of wrongdoing.
No groups which uses violence to achieve political goals could be considered patriotic; If they truly were, they’d be trying to build our country up…. not tear it down. Democracy is a very vulnerable thing; and i highly recommend the books “On Tyranny” by Timothy Snyder; its a nice pocket guide to defending democratic institutions. And “The True Believer” by Eric Hoffer covers how they can collapse if great care isn’t taken.
These two books paired together are quite poignant and empowering to even the most average person. And we need to get back to having conversations with people whom we disagree or feel we have nothing in common with.
I highly recommend people taking the time to watch the livestream of our own government on C-SPAN; to see and hear for one’s self, what’s said and done, without the spin or biases of MSM.
….Not to mention the daily transcripts are made available on the Congress, Senate, and Supreme Court websites.
America isn’t some static state, fixed product; but a dynamic and ever evolving democracy…. because that’s what our constitution outlines for our republic.
But we need better candidates in general. And an intentional renaissance of some sort to modernize and preserve the constitution with some contemporary scaffolding.
That’s why I voted for Admiral Bill McRaven for POTUS, and Nobel Laureate & professor of American Development Economics, Dr. Michael Kremer for VP.
…..And as long as bad practices such as Citizens United exists, untraceable funds will continue to flood our politics; allowing politicians to be knowingly or unwittingly party to foreign influence operations.
Ps. Why aren’t candidates required to go through a preliminary TS security clearance screening/background check, prior to being allowed to campaign? I know my opinion doesn’t matter but Trump/Biden, and the ridiculous degree of celebrities suggested for the presidency isn’t the direction our country needs to go…. that’s just plain idiocracy? And anyone who identifies as a “party member” or anything else as opposed to being an American first and foremost; is a severely broken individual, and part of the problem.
💯 It’s just for the sake of getting the media out of his hair. If McCarthy really was sincere, he should had addressed the issue quickly with disciplinary actions. He will flipflop again. 😑
McCarthy will backtrack once Trump tells him to.
@Nurse Blacke
M.T (Headed) Greene strikes again!
She is obviously the very best that the Cult of Trump can come up with!
I hope Trump endorses his primary opponent.
💯 TOO MANY LIES, AND ALL YOUR TRUTHS WILL BE QUESTIONABLE MCCARTHY! 🤨
@Colin Mahoney she is just Marge
Trump has bigger worries now. The birdies 🐦🦜 are going to be singing loud!!!
McCarthy will change his mind when his boss at mara lago tells him to.
McCarthy: MTG remarks were appalling because it endangers my career if I don’t condemn it.
So if he didn’t condemn it, who would support him?
Spot on. McCarthy is disgusting, he doesn’t stand for ANYTHING except staying in power. He’s just a worm.
Only took him 5 days of finger in the wind testing. Sharp as a brass tack there bud. Amoeba!!!
@Jeannie Luna
Yeah, some leader. Whenever anything major happens McCarthy always waits to see what’s going to be most politically advantageous for him. The one exception was immediately after January 6 which was so damned outrageous and dangerous that both McCarthy and Little Lindsey lost their sh*t for a few days before getting sucked back into the orange fog. That was the only time either one of those two jellyfish ever showed any spine but they quickly reverted to being bottom-feeding invertebrates.
@Abel Sr Hi there … love the follow though with ‘science’ cussing!! Gave me a good giggle.
McCarthy had to wait until he was told what his opinion is.
I quickly read the title as “appealing” instead of “appalling”. Honestly I’m more surprised it was the latter instead of the former with how they’ve been lately.
Marjorie will continue to be a thorn in McCarthy’s side. She’s been voted off her committees, which has allowed her more time to fundraise and spew her nonsense. As long as she’s bringing in the bucks for the Republican party, McCarthy will do whatever it takes to keep her happy.
Yep. Follow the money.
Is that why McCarthy is disagreeing with just about everything she says?
@evan doe Kevin is only disagreeing after receiving pressure from Democrats and fellow Republicans. Otherwise, he’s quite happy to tolerate her even if that means getting votes from people who thinks like MTG.
MTG, is the face of the GOP, Along with McConnell, Paul, Cruz, and the entire state of Florida! Deplorable! That’s why I left the party! You can’t legislate, MORALS!
GA and FL are having a competition.
McCarthy has no credibility, moral standing or consistency to be a leader. The Republican Party would do better with a new House minority leader.
None of the 5 or so house GOP members that actually have any integrity left would gain any votes to replace him.
@B Bhima They may as well. Trump and the Qs have all the power in the GOP now.
I agree MCarthy must be expelled. Unfortunately, the rest of the GOP are rotten too except Kinzinger. He stood up and will do a better job.
That’s their plan
The GQP needs to be nuked and regrown from the ground up. They are a mess and a drowning sinking ship.
When you choose “Q” to represent your state MTG is what you get.
@King B Digital says a qanon believer
@King B Digital no one cares about black lives matter quit acting like that’s a problem. The only thing BLM matters with is cleaning up police department problems and we’re not talking about that right here. We’re talking about the floundering Republican party and it’s deep rooted problems
@King B Digital Not the point but BLM isnt any of that you’re ignorant
Considering there were 15 million – 25 million people apart of BLM, and only 100 deaths
But let’s say 100 people contributed to each death.. that’s 10,000 murders
The damages cost a bit less than $2 billion
To put that into perspective- one walmart if looted would cost between 10 million to 20 million in damages
So the damages is equivalent to 135
walmart’s
Let’s say now its 50,000 looters per each walmart
That’s only 6,650,000
Which means 8,340,000 peaceful protestors
But sure go off with your weird false agenda
@p8ently obvious Yes and Antifa he was hiding under Trump’s bed with the Boogyman until called into action. lol
@Fred Higenell Her district has no internet and most have had their Brains Removed that is why they always wear the MAGA cap to hide the scars. lol
After getting a better look at MTG. . .
A mask would be an improvement to her appearance
his
@R Wags oh horrible people like her are not exempt from being ridiculed. She would have a less Neanderthal look if she was a better person and not fake. She would look different with a glow and not a primitive confused negative personality. The fact she’s literally abhorrent has nothing to do with misogyny. Saying she has a Neanderthal look for sure doesn’t go against women, she goes against women
I just think that’s the evil lurking in her septic black soul coming to the surface.
A gag.
Agreed.
McCarthy: “The election was stolen”
Also McCarthy: “No one ever said the election was stolen”
@Scahoni you are 100% correct “no fool really believes Stupid Joe won” because the fools are stuck on stupid just like you… the people that are not actual fools, know Joe Biden is in fact our lawfully, and due fully elected president.
Stay Strong Fool… you deserve it.
Agree. He also said that the👿 was responsible for the insurrection and walked that back too!
@TheRealDeal All the proof was fed to chickens who were then subsequentally incinerated. Poor chickens! 🤣🤣🤣
@Scahoni Everything from The Kraken, to 60 court cases, suitcases full of ballots and it’s all caught on camera, to machines flipping votes, to Rudy and Mike Pillow will be releasing all the evidence, to a voting machine seized in Germany, to Mike Lindell flying his private jet with voting machines, to 40,000 ballots being shipped in from China, to ballots containing bamboo, to chickens being incinerated after being fed ballots. Oh, I forgot Hugo Chavez somewhere in there too.
When I you gonna see that they’re manipulating you and making you all look like gullible idiots? This is where your critical thinking needs to kick in.
@B Bhima Your brain cells were stolen… by stupidity.
Just wait a month , McCarthy will take back what he said.
It wont take that long
It’s just for the sake of getting the media out of his hair. If McCarthy really was sincere, he should had addressed the issue quickly with disciplinary actions. He will flipflop again. 🤨
He doesn’t need to..he and his supporters know that he didn’t m3an it.. they have had this discussion.
He finally says something about her but the moment she makes money for them he will say oh no I was wrong! The man is a total Coward and Wuss!! Time to get him out too!!
If McCarthy really was sincere, he should had addressed the issue quickly with disciplinary actions. He will flip flop again.
@Zach Riley your right, all of those reps changes there minds like a pair of boxers
imaginer being a republican and saying, “yeah, wearing this mask is just about as bad as being gassed and rounded up to the slaughter like cattle”
No thanks
The dumbest part of the whole thing is what she “meant” was that wearing masks is like being forced to wear a star under Nazi rule, as if that is any more reasonable…
It’s straight up lunacy in the GOP now.
Well Republicans don’t really have an issue with that since the people being killed weren’t white conservative Christian Americans, or unborn babies ( once born they can burn ).
McCarthy: “Her comments were appalling…but hey, that’s what we are now, so….you know….whatever”
He was taking a long nap.
He doesn’t do that when voting himself a pay raise.
mccarthy’s comments about mtg’s statements are already irrelevant at this point.
The GQP is asleep at the wheel.
“Greene’s actions are appalling.”
In other news, water is wet.
@senile Joe Biden <<<---TROLL ACCOUNT 5/2021 start date for account please ignore.
@Too Bad don’t believe the lying eyes or lying ears god gave you… it’s all a sham… none of it real… stay strong in your stupidity, nice to see people truly committed to their lies…
And he’ll deny he said it tomorrow
In other news… the GQP has become an appalling heap of twaddle.
@senile Joe Biden You’re right. She should run. Should hand Dems an easy victory even with someone as bad as Pelosi. It would also prove just how incompetent and radicalized the GQP is.
“I’m calling it appalling because that’s apparently what everyone expects of me, but I don’t really care.”
