Monday, July 5 may have been a day off for many of us, but Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was not one of them.
The Congresswoman and QAnon devotee spent the day penning a bigoted rant on Twitter, in which she claimed to speak for "all voters" when she parroted conspiracy theories, virulent anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and, of course, thinly veiled racism.
Greene called her 15-tweet thread a message from "regular Americans" to the so-called "Swamp" of Washington insiders—of which, of course, she now is one.
1. Most of the people that I talk to daily are regular Americans and I like it that way because I am one of them.\n\nThis is everything people are saying that DC can't even come close to understanding because Washington can't relate.\n\nHere is a message from America to the Swamp:— Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1625530143
Greene spared virtually nobody in her savage takedown of everyone "all Americans" supposedly hate, but reserved some of her most intense vitriol for LGBTQ Americans, telling them:
"Your identity is not your sexual preference or what you like to do in the bedroom."
12. Your identity is not your sexual preference or what you like to do in the bedroom.\n\nMost Americans don't agree with the invasion of Trans biological men in girls/women's sports.\n\nDon't forget Dem voters have daughters too, and do NOT want biological men beating their girls.— Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1625530146
Despite scores of draconian legislation against trans student athletes in states across the country, there is a miniscule number of trans athletes in American schools and universities and as yet not a single case of a transgender athlete taking a title away from a cisgender one.
And as for the pandemic? According to Greene, "no one cares" about it. Same goes for racism, apparently, which Greene claimed was over because a Black president and vice president means "MLK's dream came true!"
Greene closed her thread about how "all Americans" feel by screaming at some of those very Americans to get out of the country.
"If you don't like America or our flag, then get the hell out of our GREAT country & go live in some other shi*hole Socialist or Communist country that shares your hate for America, our flag, & our God given freedoms."
So are all Americans unanimous in their opinions or not, Marjorie? Which is it?
On Twitter, people were not here for Greene's unhinged bigotry-fest, and laid into her.

There is a point at which ignorance becomes dangerous.\n\nThat point has LONG-since dropped below the horizon in your rear-view mirror.\n\nYour presence in Congress is a Hazard to the SPECIES.\n\nSoon may that hazard be rectified.— Raconteur-Guide \u262f\ufe0f\ud83c\udf08 (@Raconteur-Guide \u262f\ufe0f\ud83c\udf08) 1625533671
I'm a "regular" American (nice dog whistle) and you don't represent me.— Gr8danedr (@Gr8danedr) 1625533586
Most Americans don't threaten a Congresswoman through the mail slot or sleep with the manager of their gym, but sure keep touting the relatability line, Marjorie.— Connor (@Connor) 1625530656
The same people now demanding athletes respect the flag voted against investigating the people that used it as a weapon against police and tore it down for a Trump flag on January 6th. They don\u2019t care about the flag. They just want more anger.pic.twitter.com/baT3hihGBn— Drain the traitors... (@Drain the traitors...) 1625532632
A lot of words to say "someone triggered my irrational obsession with harassing minorities so I need to rant on Twitter to feel better"— Alexander Marsh (@Alexander Marsh) 1625530998

Greene closed her rant with a sign-off on behalf of American taxpayers.
15. Signed,
The American People.
*who pay ALL the taxes that fund the federal government.

Which is an interesting choice, since Greene and her husband are currently under investigation in their home state of Georgia for possible tax evasion. Neat!
