Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) repeatedly supported disturbing conspiracy theories and liked social media posts that suggested executing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and FBI agents, among others, according to several media reports published Tuesday.
Media Matters for America, a progressive watchdog group, first reported that Greene, a far-right firebrand who was recently elected to Congress, had endorsed fringe conspiracy theories on Facebook in 2018 that suggested former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton murdered a child during a satanic ritual.
CNN’s KFile later found other troubling activity on Greene’s personal Facebook page after reviewing hundreds of her posts and comments. In January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said it would be “quicker” to remove Pelosi from office with a “bullet to the head.” On another post from April 2018, a commenter asked her if “H & O” — referring to former President Barack Obama and Clinton — should be hanged.
“Stage is being set,” Greene replied, according to the archives obtained by CNN. “Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off.”
Greene has embraced the conspiracy theory woven by QAnon, joining an unhinged cult that believes Democrats, the media elite and powerful people in Hollywood are engaged in a child trafficking ring, imprisoning children in dungeons run by Satan worshipers. Followers of the movement — which has no basis in reality — believed former President Donald Trump was battling those rogue elements and that an anonymous person or group named Q had left clues across the internet about Trump’s efforts battling the “deep state.”
The extreme right is every bit of a threat to this country as the extreme left. It boggles my mind that someone so unfit for office could be elected to Congress. On second thought, congress has a history of being populated by crooks, charlatans, imbeciles, nut jobs, and assorted other low life’s. The bar to be elected to the House of Representatives is extremely low. This is partially a result of gerrymandering, safe one party districts, tribal voting, and only a binary choice between D and R.
Further proof that Trump's mental health issues are contagious. Ah well, free speech and all that, except for the potential felony violations of 18 U.S.C. § 871. Yeah she's as much a crackpot candidate as any at this point.

Speaks volumes about the the people who elected her also.
Taylor Greene and Boebert represent the Wacky Quacky Qawcus.
I'm more concerned about the Sedition Caucus: Cruz, Hawley, Biggs, Gosar, Cawthorn are under investigation by the FBI. If they were found to have helped plan or participate in the Jan 6 events, expel them.
Rep Greene is the perfect symbol of Trumpism. She has the emotional maturity of a child for whom grievance, disruption, brutality veneration and attention are the objectives and productive serious effort to effectively conduct the business of our country is impossible.
She and Rep. Boebert are the logical and inevitable outcome of where the Trump takeover of the Republican Party has been heading. They have given up any pretense of being a serious political party capable of governing or legislating in any constructive way, and have become a cult of personality, conspiracy and extremism, including the use of violence to reach their ends.
These 2 fine examples of GOP'ers, who mock our Congress, should both be expelled, for refusing to abide by House rules and for advocating violence, if the Republican Party wants to have any chance of redeeming itself. IMO it is almost certainly too late for that.

Again ... Extreme Left is nothing like the Extreme Right.
The "Extreme Left" of America exists as a part of every major democracy in Europe. The Extreme Right is borderline terrorism with a massive dose of conspiracy nonsense. Stop trying to drag down people in favor of a functioning government with the crazies on the Right.
