\u201cMarjorie Taylor Greene tried to honor the Confederacy but failed spectacularly https://t.co/LUbxS5zD94 Geez Georgia she is at a Union Monument. Do Better.\u201d

\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s worse, that treasonous Marge Greene refers to the Confederacy as her \u201cnation\u201d or that she doesn\u2019t know that\u2019s a monument in the South honoring the Union\u201d

\u201chttps://t.co/tAGcXfE8k6\n\u201cTonight, I stopped at the Wilder Monument in Chickamauga, GA, which honors the Confederate soldiers of the Wilder Brigade,\u201d Greene wrote \u201cI will always defend our nation\u2019s history!\u201d\n@RepMTG fails again. The Wilder Monument honors Union soldiers\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23 #FAIL\u201d

\u201c1st of all this was a monument to Union soldiers not confederate, but the fact she wants to honor & defend the confederacy which fought to uphold slavery, tells u everything u need to know about Marjorie Taylor Greene. This isn't ignorance as much as it is 'in your face' racism.\u201d

\u201cHer stunning ignorance of history aside, recognize this for what is. A glorification of the Confederacy and what it stood for, meant as raw meat to the MAGAs who are still irate about the outcome of the war. https://t.co/SdXXjzcfls\u201d

\u201cBe nice if @RepMTG knew the difference between the Union and the Confederacy. #VoteBlueIn2022 \nMarjorie Taylor Greene visits Union Army monument \u2014 which she says honors \u2018Confederate soldiers\u2019 https://t.co/ufPzHiTREL\u201d

\u201clol. Georgia is a mess. \ud83e\udee3\n\n"...despite Marjorie Taylor Greene\u2019s apparent rush to pay her respects to what she believed was a Confederate monument, the monument actually pays tribute to Union troops that battled the Confederacy." \n\nhttps://t.co/ObdSrfXuDF\u201d

\u201c"Honoring the Confederacy" is inherently anti-American. https://t.co/zTuOtyIq2s\u201d

\u201cBecause .@RepMTG is uneducated & ignorant she thought the Wilder Monument in Chickamauga, GA, honors the Confederate soldiers\u201d,\nWrong marge - it honors the union soldiers - the boys in blue who fought to keep people like you from ruining out country.\n\nhttps://t.co/uhdTCYr6ip\u201d
