SAN DIEGO — During an interview on the OAN network, Marjorie Taylor Greene declared, “Not only do we have a D.C. jail — which is a D.C. gulag — but now we have Nancy Pelosi’s gazpacho police spying on members of Congress, spying on the legislative work that we do, spying on our staff, and spying on American citizens that want to come talk to their representatives.”
My inside source of her secret emails and tweets reveals that this was not her first malapropism. Here are some others:
“I agree with the QAnon charge that Democrats and Hollywood personalities abduct children for sexual trafficking. They all are obviously pedestrians.”
“Why are Jews so offended when I use Nazi analogies? After all, the Holocaust killed only six minyans.”
“I hate Critical Race Theory because I’m a big fan of NASCAR.”
“What’s wrong with the proud buoys? They keep boats safe from running into submerged objects.”
“Don’t remove confederate monuments! There’s no statue of limitations on how long they should stay up.”
“Although I’m a strong proponent of the Second Amendment, I think it is just a matter of white self-protection not to send out mail-in bullets to black constituents.”
“I’m against the perverted Trans movement. It causes high cholesterol.”
“Requiring unisex bathrooms encourages masturbation.”
“Of course, Donald Trump prefers to be a dictator. Who wants to write out everything in long- hand?”
