Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was accused of hypocrisy after she lamented on X how "too much social media turns things toxic," prompting many to call her out for "gaslighting" her supporters.
It sure was funny to see Greene—one of the biggest defenders of the insurrectionists who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021—say the following:
"Too much social media turns things a bit toxic. I hate seeing this on our side. People need to put their phones down and live life."
"Go outside, enjoy God’s creation. Exercise. Cook a good healthy meal. Visit your loved ones and tell them how important they are. I hope you all have a good weekend."
You can see her post below.
We might want to look back at some of Greene's career highlights.
Greene, a known conspiracy theorist, was widely condemned for espousing the belief that the 2018 California wildfires were not caused by climate change but by some kind of "space laser" that had set the state ablaze.
She said Pacific Gas and Electricity (PG&E) and renewable energy startup Solaren sent solar power generators to space funded by the Rothschilds, a family of Ashkenazi Jewish billionaires who have often been the target of antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Additionally, QAnon—whose believers allege Democrats are part of a Satan-worshipping, baby-eating global pedophile ring that conspired against Trump during his time in office—counts Greene as one of its more vocal adherents.
Greene claimed there are links between former Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and pedophilia and human sacrifice, once insisting "Pizzagate"—a debunked conspiracy theory targeting Democrats that claimed Clinton ran a pedophilia ring out of the basement of a pizza restaurant that didn't even have a basement—was real.
Greene at one point also claimed the death of John F. Kennedy Jr.–who was killed in a plane crash in 1999–was a "Clinton murder" because he was floated as a possible rival to her for a United States Senate election in New York.
But perhaps no evidence of Greene's faith in QAnon is as damning as her own admission the eponymous "Q"—the anonymous individual or individuals from whom many of these conspiracies originate—is "a patriot" who offered adherents a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles out, and I think we have the President to do it."
In the past, Greene, who regularly targets the LGBTQ+ community, has called for the arrest of those allowing children near drag queens and has used hashtags like #SaveTheChildren to rally her supporters.
Despite her claims that the GOP merely wants to "protect" children, she was notably one of 28 Republicans who voted against the bipartisan Respect for Child Survivors Act, which addresses the FBI's mishandling of child sex abuse cases.
Many of the Republicans who voted against the bill claim to be interested in protecting children from sexual predators and have often contributed to the ongoing "groomer" hysteria that has gripped the right-wing, who've accused LGBTQ+ people of building relationships, trust and emotional connections with children so they can manipulate, exploit and abuse them.
As many pointed out, she's not one to talk about "toxicity" on social media.
Look in the mirror, Marge.
