Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene fired back at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after he stated her embrace of “loony lies and conspiracy theories” is a “cancer for the Republican Party.”
Greene (R-GA) has faced a growing number of critics from within the Republican Party over controversial words and actions she engaged in prior to becoming a congresswoman.
CNN reported that in 2019 Greene “liked” controversial comments on social media, including one that said “a bullet to the head would be quicker” in a discussion to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
She has also dabbled in QAnon conspiracy theories and been spotted in videos harassing political opponents.
“Loony lies and conspiracy theories are cancer for the Republican Party and our country,” McConnell (R-KY) said in a statement.
“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.

Marjorie Taylor Greene fired back at Mitch McConnell over the comments, suggesting he and other feckless leaders in the GOP are the real “cancer.”
“The real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully,” she tweeted. “This is why we are losing our country.”
House Democrats are moving swiftly to remove Greene from her committee assignments, something even CNN is willing to concede is a troublesome move.
“The move by Democrats could set a risky precedent as they go after a sitting member of Congress over views expressed before serving as an elected official,” they write, “and one that has the potential to someday be used against the party by Republicans.”
Greene later tweeted a theory as to why she is “the ‘greatest threat’ to the Democrat mob and the activist media.”
“They hate me because I represent your America First views. They think Trump is gone, so they attack you and me. He’s not gone,” she wrote. “And we won’t back down and we will never give up!”
Greene reportedly spoke with former President Trump over the weekend and received his support.
The real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully.
This is why we are losing our country.

Weak Republicans ARE The Problem
The entire controversy is proving Greene right.
While Republicans are quick to throw her under the bus, Democrats have been more than willing to stand in solidarity with people like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) who has made numerous controversial statements (some people did something), and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who last week accused Senator Ted Cruz of attempted murder.
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) was exposed in a report late last year indicating he had been the target of a Chinese spy and possibly had a relationship with her.
He has recently smeared Republican senators as being members of the “Coup Klux Klan” and falsely alleged they were fraternizing with “terrorists.”
Not only did Democrats defend him, not only did he keep his seat on the House Intelligence Committee, but he was given a starring role as one of Pelosi’s impeachment managers.
I’m the “greatest threat” to the Democrat mob and the activist media.
They hate me because I represent your America First views.
They think Trump is gone, so they attack you and me.
He’s not gone. And we won’t back down and we will never give up!

It should be easy to condemn both sides for extremist rhetoric. But Democrats have set the precedent by allowing it on their side, if not rewarding it.
Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson cautioned against falling into the trap that Democrats and the media have set, portraying Greene as the biggest threat to the country.
“If cable news doesn’t like your views, you have to leave Congress. That’s the rule. The test is entirely ideological,” Carlson wrote in an op-ed. “You don’t actually have to harm anyone to lose your job.”
“This new member of Congress has barely even voted, but CNN says she has bad opinions,” he added. “Therefore, she’s the greatest threat we face.”
Carlson went on to suggest the media’s fixation with Marjorie Taylor Greene is entirely a result of the fact they have “made a living yelling at Donald Trump” and must now find another target.

Greene warned Democrats that if she is stripped of her committee assignments that there will be payback if Republicans regain control of the House in 2022.
“If Democrats remove me from my committees, I can assure them that the precedent they are setting will be used extensively against members on their side once we regain the majority after the 2022 elections,” she wrote.
“And we will regain the majority, make no mistake about that.”
That isn’t a conspiracy theory by any stretch of the imagination.

This lady has got guts. Good for her.
McConnell is the cancer and is part of the swamp.
No Mitch, she is a Cancer to you establishment politicians who have been entrenched for far too many decades!
I am just making sure I get the names of the traitor Republicans right. Mitch and Romney are the first signs of cancer. They are just trying to deflect the blame on someone else. What cowards theses employees we have are. They are not very strong men and women. They are folding under pelosi's gang pressure, or trying to cash in on the dishonesty of the new regime. We need strong men and women to fight for us. You know the kind , they have a back bone instead of a yellow streak. Let's keep a eye out for strong candidates Just my opinion
And Mitch is marry to a CCP member.
Proof we need one day voting, counted by hand before 10 pm on site and published by City and Counties no by SOS.
Check up "absolute proof" Lindell
Congresswoman Greene is a breathe of fresh air to the American citizens. This is how Republican politicians Should be working for Americans
McConnell is a traitor to the American citizens and he turned his back on President Trump. While doing this, he also deceived 80 million of a Trump Supporters. McConnell should step down. His wife’s sister sits on a bank board in communist China and their parents own a company in communist China. Blood is thicker than water. Chinese communist McConnell needs to step down as he is a commie in my eyes! He is not fir the United States!
Mitch McConnell is one of those geriatric politicos that I refer to when I get on my soap box and hype TERM LIMITS for all politicos. He's gone well past his "public service" mark and is now simply riding out what's left of the rest of his life doing absolutely nothing positive for this nation while collecting a helluva salary for doing nothing. He's not a conservative so I don't know why folks say he is. Oh yeah, he might be more conservative than pelosi (another geriatric politico) but not by much. Anyway, he needs to go. Pelosi needs to go. Schumer needs to go… heck, they all need to go after having "served" in their (separate or combined) personal politico positions for a maximum of twelve years. These dinosaurs are way beyond a twelve year mark. Imagine if we could be assured that our congressmen and women will be pushed out of the door at the end of twelve years of service (separate or combined, any elected position). They're dismissed on the last day of the twelfth year of their "service" and summarily shown the door. No lifelong health care other than what's available to the rest of us, no lifelong "retirement" checks- just a one time severance pay not to exceed $5,000.00 (before taxes) along with a "thank you" letter (if warranted). No more free lunches, no more free airline flights, no more free or reimbursed travel, etc. Nothing, nada… they're done on that last day and they're sent packing back to wherever they choose to go, their dime!
YES! to term limits!
MItchey and his RINO cronies are the REAL cancer in the Republican party.
The sad part about all of what Senator Greene has said is very very true! Especially about the weak Republicans who lead that party. Why is it that the Democrats can indict, impeach, make up lies, make up false accusations, do so many under handed rotten obstructions against the Republicans especially the way they ganged up on President Trump for 4 long years of their hatred and defiance and not one of those conspiracy animals or DC swamp criminals were ever indicted or arrested!? Go Figure!! They must be threatening those that make an attempt to scare up some law and order because ain't long after these new supposedly go getter's for the law are brought in they quickly loose their appetites to indict or call for arrests? Why? The Democrats get away with murder almost literally and the Republicans get mauled over from stem to stern rode hard and put away wet year after year? AS long as this continues to take place year after year and the American people and the roll over easy Republican party don't have a spine and fight back America is in for some very undesirable times a head. When the Republicans were in full power they did nothing to eliminate the poisonous snakes in that DC Swamp of Corruption if they are fortunate enough to take back both houses come 2222 that had better be their first priority is to expose and drain that swamp. Bring charges up against all those who everyone knows is guilty as sin on many different charges. It is time to take America back people!
Using the dumocrat logic that stripped MTGreene of her committee assignments, then the mouthy members of the "squad" should be permanently banned to the Capitol kitchen to do KP duty for their past transgressions. Every one of them has said or done things even more egregious than the charges leveled at Greene.
Actually the way I feel now and what I have seen of so much incriminating evidence submitted against the radical democrats and their stealing of the 20 20 elections and getting away with it, it really scares me of what my children and my grandchildren's lives are going to be like with this kind of corruption allowed to happen and continue to go on in our country. I believe as I read what Senator Greene had to say about the inner circle of the leading Republicans being weak in fighting back against the Democrats to be true! The leaders like Mitch McConnell have no spine he and others cave to the Democrats when important issues are on the line. The Democrats constantly are eating the Republicans for lunch. Look how many threw our President under the bus and without a shred of concrete evidence to do so with on his final speech to the Nation. America knows that the rioting, the storming of the White House was orchestrated and carried out by the radical Democrats in concert with Antifa and BLM. Many witnesses told of bus loads of these undesirables being dropped off behind the protesting peacefully crowd and many dressed as regular appearing protesters to go undetected to gain entrance into the crowd and then begin to stir up trouble that led to the storming of the Capital by these worthless thugs. Then the Democrats blame it on President Trump and his farewell speech to the American people. Typical Democrat strategy as they cover their own behinds!!
Mitch has to go.
MTG is a congresswoman of Georgia. I’m a resident of Georgia.
I have to agree with her on several things.
1) Mitch McConnell and people in his circle (not saying ALL Republicans, but the ones just in his circle) are the cancer of the Republican Party.
2) Nancy Pelosi does need to be gotten rid of (either by vote for removal or assignation or any other way).
3) Her and a very few handfuls are the voices.
4) If the tables were turned and the Democrats (which some have) said something like MTG said, they wouldn’t be removed from a committee or even be fined or sanctioned. They wouldn’t even get a slap in the face or on the hand, BUT a Republican can’t say anything.
The media needs to go back into their records as far as they prefer (I’d suggest all the way back when JFK was President and LBJ Vice President) to see just who was the biggest threat to the country. I was born in 1964 during Democrat President Lyndon Baines Johnson’s term . The Democrats are the major threats of the country. The Democrats are the worst corrupt party. Yes there are corrupt Republican politicians also (but in my personal opinion not as bad as Democrats for example – Bill & Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Omar, AOC, Jerry Nadler, previously JFK, LBJ, even President Jimmy Carter (during his term) – just to name a few).
5) When the Republicans do take the house & senate back in 2022 all hell will break loose against the Democrats.
Mich your still in office….you can be impeached
MITCH IS A CROOK , HE LEFT ALABAMA WHERE HE WAS BORN WITH THE SHIRT ON HIS BACK AND NOW HE IS WORTH 40,000,000 ON A SALARY OF ABOUT 150,000 A YEAR TIMES 40 YEARS EQUALS 6,000,000. NICE JOB MITCH. T,J, GILDEA
Mitch you need to take your no kahonas and retire to China
It is such traitorous scum as Mitch McConnell who are cancer cells in the Republican Party and the world in general.
I kind of like Marjorie Taylor Greene. If I were in her district she would have my enthusiastic vote. She was elected by the constituents in her district and they deserve to be represented. How dare you strip her of her commitment to represent her district. After the trauma she suffered I really don't care what she may have believed 2 years ago before she was elected to Congress.
RINO Mitch is the cancer of the GOP. He can't wait to kiss the butts of Chuckie and Nancy.
the only cancer is mitch the switch. he is the rino that no one knew of. half the repubs are the same. just a bunch of back stabbers.
Dr Evans have never been debunked. This is just a personal attack when the argument can not be attacked on the merits of the science. there are 31,000 scientists that support the skeptic side at: http://www.petitionproject.org/
David Evans works alongside his wife Joanne Nova at Science Speak, a group that describes itself as “a small private scientific modeling and mathematical research company” that also speaks “about some science and economic issues.”
Evans gained media attention after a 2008 article he wrote in The Australian titled ”No smoking hot spot.” The article claims that climate change is not caused by C02 emissions because there is no evidence of “a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics.”
His claim has been thoroughly debunked by Tim Lambert, a computer scientist at the University of New South Wales. From 1999 to 2005, Evans worked for the Australian Greenhouse Office designing a carbon accounting system that is used by the Australian Government to calculate its land-use carbon accounts for the Kyoto Protocol.
While Evans said ”[He] know[s] a heck of a lot about modeling and computers,” in a 2007 presentation to the Lavoisier Group, he also states clearly that he is “not a climate modeler.”
In 2008, with the help of the Heartland Institute, Joanne Nova (formerly on the payroll of Shell Oil) published The Skeptic's Handbook. The purpose of this document is to help climate change skeptics to defend their position that humans are not causing global warming.
She certainly cannot be considered an expert in climate science nor has she done any research in the field. One must question why climate change skeptics use a publication from such a source?

Marjorie Taylor Greene stripped of committees, fine. Plenty of time to make YouTube videos and do social media. But please keep your production values high and double check everything.
First thing, check out Dr David Evans and the climate change hoax. http://joannenova.com.au/2012/01/dr-david-evans-the-skeptics-case/
..dare i say..she has balls..old triple chin McConnell needs to find a rockin' chair and a porch..time to step away..scalped our $$$$..long enough..bye..oh yeah..take your nemeses..Pelosi + Schumer with ya..term limits people..come on..??
Get rid of turtle boy.
And old relic
Marjorie is right about a number of things What McConnell and the rest of the "Really a Democrat" type of GOPers don't like, is that it exposes them with Truth, which usually hurts those who are corrupt and always trying to hide things from voters.
Republican voters, don't you think it's time to get rid of those fake 'Pubs who voted to impeach President Trump, even after there was no due process at all…no discussion in court or even on the House floor? Completely illegal and definitely unconstitutional.
Good God. Yes, republicans can say some stupid stuff. But they are nothing compared to Waters, the squad or dozens of democrats that out to oust every republican they can. Many of them have told their followers to physically harass republican law makers. They are openly supporting socialism. It is sickening to watch our country going to hades.
I think I love her! She has more courage than all 50 Republican senators put together!
Everything she said is correct and the Patriots are not going away and we will do everything in our power to vote out the ineffectual cowards wherever we find them! -PRIMARY!
Who wants to really get under the RINO/Democrat's skin? Leave your Trump 2020 yard signs and flags up…period! I am adding "STOLEN" under the 2020 on my sign and plan to do the same with a flag, if I can still get one. I am having a flag pole installed in our yard for the specific purpose of leaving a Trump flag up. I hope someone will take the initiative and make simply TRUMP signs and flags for us to continue flying and posting in our yards!
They must require Tucker to have Brit Hume on his show from time to time. Hume is just another part of the swamp/establish and does not fit well in a shows that deals with the truth.
I agree that Republicans MUST BECOME BOLD TO PUSHOUT THE RADICAL/DEMOCRATS WHO WILL SELLOUT AMERICA TO CHINA..THEY ARE THE REAL EVIL LIARS!!!!
Mitch McConnell is the Cancer in the Republican Party, not the young gal he is accusing.
Nothing like a circular firing squad to solve the Republican Party problems. Our Republic is being destroyed by Biden and company and Mitch and the rest of the R leadership attacks members of their own caucus.
She is absolutely right….Keep standing up and letting them know we are not going away. They should be removing Stallwart from his committee, or do they want him there to keep the Chinese up to date on Congress?
“The real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully,” Taylor Greene has the right of this one too! Hey, mitch, the democrats want you to roll over and play dead. "Atta, boy, good dog."
DIABLO mitch has a lot of nerve saying anything when that traitors scum has a 16% approval rate in his home state. A friend of mine living in KY told me there is a lot of talk about changing the laws in KY so a congressman can be recalled.
Mitch has been part of the deep state for a long time. Yes he has managed to hide it well, but now his other face has shown just how much he is interested in himself. This is what I found when his wife had a goverment job and her family is ruled by the CCP in China.
GO MARJORIE GO! You represent me!!! My family! My beloved Country! My FREEDOM and OPPORTUNITIES! Go, keep going! DOWN WITH mcconnel! And the other RINOS! Hopefully they'll be out soon!
Metal-Detector-Dodging House Representatives Will Now Have Their Salaries Docked
The Republican representatives who have thrown tantrums about having to walk through a metal detector before taking to the House floor are going to have to start weighing up if it’s really worth it. On Tuesday night, the House officially created a new rule that will fine any member who avoids security screening before entering the House floor. The first offense will be punished by a $5,000 fine, and $10,000 for a second offense. According to CNN, those fines will be directly deduced from members’ salaries. Metal detectors were first installed outside of the House floor a week after the pro-Trump riot on Jan. 6 and several Republican representatives—including Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Andy Harris (R-MD), and Jim Duncan (R-SC)—flipped out over the new security measure. Tuesday night’s vote came in at 216-210 in favor of the new rule.
“And we will regain the majority, make no mistake about that.”
That isn’t a conspiracy theory by any stretch of the imagination."
This is why , if they have the chance, we will never vote again.
Marjorie Taylor Green is a strong lady, with backbone… Some of those wussified republicans could learn a lot from her. She will represent America in the way it was designed to be. She is a breath of fresh air, a strong voice after watching all the neutered republicans in congress Buckle and kiss Chuck and Nancy’s butts. And one of the worst one is turtle faced Mitch McConnell.
I think Green-bean should be booted all the way back to her Hubble and Trumpy the porn clown with sore feet a draft dodging coward a traitor the leader of the largest domestic terrorist organization in America should be in prison.
Don't forget this bastards son!
Mitch, you will go down in history as the life time politician that destroyed the Republican Party. Not that it matters to you, you have gotten filthy rich by being corrupt and in bed with China. There needs to be an investigation on McConnell and his finances and his wife. The reason there are conspiracy theories is because the right never tries to get to the bottom of all the crooked dealings from the left. Do I need to list all the crooked things the leftist have gotten away with
“The real cancer for the Republican Party is weak Republicans who only know how to lose gracefully,” she tweeted. “This is why we are losing our country.”
Precisely! As for "conspiracy theories," prove they aren't so, McConnell. For that matter, you endlessly prove you aren't trustworthy.
With republican "leadership" like milk-toast Mitch McConnell, is it any wonder that the democrats are empowered to do anything unethical, illegal, or dishonest that they want to do?
Recall McConnell, start petition now someone, Please!!!
Greene, you are fantastic!! Watch your back, be safe!! McConnell, shut the duck up, next election YOU will be replaced!!
