McConnell: Greene’s “Loony Lies” Are Cancer for the GOP
According to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s and “loony lies and conspiracy theories” are cancer for the GOP and the country. “Somebody who’s suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.’s airplane is not living in reality,” he added.

While the Republican Senator did not mention the Georgia lawmaker by name, his statement is a reply to an NBC news question about Greene. “This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on a substance that can strengthen our party,” his statement said. McConnell’s comments are his first time addressing concerns over the neophyte representative.
Greene Fires Back
Representative Greene is a strong follower of former President Donald Trump. On Saturday, she said that Trump remains supportive of her political career. As for her critics, she said that politics motivate their attacks on her. Greene is often seen wearing a “Trump Won” face mask when in the Capitol. She earned controversy over previous remarks made and posted on social media. These include suggesting that school shootings all over the country were fake. Also, she claimed that “Jewish Space Lasers” caused last year's California wildfires. Finally, she believes in and supports the conspiracy theory group QAnon.
Regarding McConnell’s statement, Greene fired back a reply on Twitter. “Real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully. This is why we are losing our country,” she tweeted.
Inflammatory Comments
Greene’s inflammatory comments drew widespread attention after winning her primary last August. After winning her seat last November, videos of her comments began surfacing. In addition, Republicans faced criticism when Greene joined the Education and Labor Committee. Critics asked why her when she used to question if US school shootings were fake.
Recently, Greene drew flak for refusing to wear a mask while sheltered during the January 6 Capitol attack. Since then, several Democrats who stayed with her tested positive for the coronavirus.
Democrat Resolution to Remove Greene From House Committees
House Democrats filed a resolution Tuesday to remove Greene from her two committees. Because of her recent outbursts of inflammatory and false statements, they want her out of the Education & Labor Committee and Budget committees. The House Rules Committee said it would consider the resolution Wednesday. If approved, it can lead to a floor vote.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA) expects to speak with Greene within the week. It remains unclear if the GOP will censure the Georgia representative ahead of Wednesday’s resolution. However, Republicans din say they found her comments disturbing. “Republican leaders ought to stand up and say it is totally unacceptable what she has said,” Senator Rob Portman, (OH) told CNN Sunday. Democrat House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (MD) said he spoke to McCarthy, who confirmed plans to talk to Greene. She “must be held accountable for her reprehensible statements,” Mr. Hoyer said Monday.

McConnell is the cancer of the party. He is in bed with China. He is a full blown, back stabbing RHINO. He wouldn’t even be in office if Trump didn’t endorse him. Then he promptly turned on Trump. One thing for sure the more I have read about the underhanded things the Democrats do, I wouldn’t put anything past them or the media. Real people suffered horrible loses in all of these events. I think it is very possible the Democrats would orchestrate a tragic event to create chaos so they could use it to their political advantage. They sure have a lot of “suicides” within their ranks. Are they unstable people in need of mental care, or is it more sinister than that?! I think what Greene is trying to say is the Democrats are low enough to use any means at any cost to get what they want. They are good at practicing slight of hand, and they don’t care who they hurt, for power. They are behind the Capital riot. Things were planned, it was not spontaneous. Also, I am so sick of hearing the press calling David Hogg a survivor of the school shooting. He was NOT at the school when it happened. He was riding his bike towards it. If he is a survivor, then we all are. But he sure milked that lie long enough. Think about it, the Democrats are the biggest drama gueens I have ever seen!
Democrats are going to have the same standards applied to them if they do this. If we do use the same standard then most democrats would have to be removed going all the way to Piglosi and crying Chuck The democrat scum do nothing but make shit up and lie about how things really happened. So go for it you communist democrat scum party we will make certain you all get the same treatment.
Senator Green has the backbone to call it for what it is. Biden needs to be impeached for the collusion with China and trying to weaken America with his ludicrous Executive orders!!. Biden knows it as well as the main media. Green is NOT to be removed from her position. The following people need be removed are: Schummer, Pelosi, Schiff, AOC and McConnel because they spread the cancer which has been spreading throughout our country. The demonic rats (aka democrats) should be called socialist-communists because that is what they are.
Biden and his entire staff are illegitimate because Biden never won the election. It was stolen from president Trump. Guess what, we the people, want it back because fraud has been committed from the highest level of government.
I agree with Rep Greene. McConnell is a traitor to the GOP. A RINO as long as the pay holds up. I am sick of these back stabbing RINOs and will be leaving the Party the moment our real President, President Trump, forms a new party. McConnell is just a hack and as such I am glad I never gave him a cent of my money. I only contribute to those that I can support directly. Good riddance GOP, hello Patriot Party
McConnell, u are the cancer in the party with the rest of the rhinos, u backstabbing, incompetent,worthless,repukes are the problem,u have no spine, u bow down to satan, with your greed. Now were going to get rid of everyone of u traitors. u don’t represent the majority of us,so good=bye,and don’t let the door hit u in the @$$.
Mitch McConnell is one of the worst that the Republican Party has to offer.
Thanks to career politicians like McConnell, McCain, Romney and Cheney the world is uglier and more dangerous than ever. These power brokers will eliminate dissenters and punish those who disagree with them or dare to challenge their rules. McConnell does not want to be a leader, he thrives on being the ruler of a shriveling and devious organization.
Cancer for the GOP???
THAT’S MITCH MCCONNELL.
Sorry freaking RINO. Guess we’re stuck with him until he croaks.
Come On, Grim Reaper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
