‘Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm,’ the former Georgia congresswoman wrote
Marjorie Taylor Greene has urged fellow MAGA supporters – and other Americans – to “take off their political blinders” over the death of protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, warning that they are being “incited into civil war.”
“I unapologetically believe in border security and deporting criminal illegal aliens and I support law enforcement,” Greene wrote on X Sunday, the day after the fatal shooting. “However, I also unapologetically support the 2nd amendment.
“Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm.”
Despite video showing that 37-year-old Pretti was filming federal officers but did not have a weapon drawn, the Trump administration has claimed he had tried to assassinate agents in an act of “domestic terrorism.”
People need to stop acting like she’s turned over a new leaf. She’s a crazy racist. She has nothing to say that’s worth hearing. She did more than most to put us where we are. She belongs in the sea.
Do you realize need someone to explain to you why trump losing the support of crazy racists is a big deal?
Look, yes. She’s a piece of shit. But she’s not wrong here. And honestly, we need people (even batshit crazy racists) calling out the stupid shit Trump and co are doing.
Do not conflate agreement with acceptance. We need all the help we can get right now. Worry about washing your hands later. Too many good people are dying to stay on that high horse.
Her saying this is better than her not saying anything at all—we can demand more from her but we can also benefit from her existence at the moment since she isn’t staying silent
You’re not supposed to throw trash in the sea.
At this current point in time, anybody against Trump in this fascist regime is a friend of mine
And yet, her takes are better than most Democrats

It was incredibly unnecessary to use that ableist slur.

I understood your point perfectly fine. I’m telling you that the r word, in the way you used it, is an ableist slur.

Using the word in that definition is literally the slur.

Yeah people don’t become non racist in a couple months. The best case scenario is that she actually has no ideology, was using racism to extend her support base and now is trying to switch sides because she wasn’t accepted as a top level member to the racist boys’ club (surprise surprise they also turned out to be sexist).
No one truly thinks she’s fully caught sanity. However, people like her are the only chance we’ll ever get to drive a wedge into the maga cult. If they get messages of sanity from people that were on their side, some of them might back off from the brink.
Less bloodlust right now is a good thing.
