Is Marjorie Taylor Greene the least intelligent person ever elected to Congress?

[holdem4884]

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a woman of many (incredibly stupid) beliefs and statements.

Where to even begin?

Greene once claimed that wildfires in California were caused by Jewish space lasers. Yes, you heard that right - apparently, Jews in space were using lasers to start forest fires.

In 2019, Greene posted a video on social media in which she harassed Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and claimed that she was "bringing Islamic terrorists" into Congress.

Greene is a fervent supporter of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which claims that Donald Trump is battling a "deep state" cabal of child sex traffickers.

Greene claimed that the deadly mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida was a "false flag" operation orchestrated by Democrats.

Greene once suggested that the 2017 Las Vegas shooting was a "cover-up" and that multiple shooters were involved. This despite the fact that law enforcement officials have repeatedly said that the shooter, Stephen Paddock, acted alone.

In a speech on the House floor, Greene compared the Democratic Party to the Nazi Party, saying that Democrats were "forcing" COVID-19 vaccines on Americans just as the Nazis "forced" Jews to wear yellow stars.

In 2018, Greene posted a video on Facebook in which she suggested that Muslims should not be allowed to serve in government. She claimed that Muslim congresswomen like Ilhan Omar were "enemy" invaders who were trying to "replace" American values with Sharia law.

Greene has a long history of promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, including the belief that the Rothschild family is controlling the world's financial systems.

In a tweet from 2018, Greene claimed that the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia was actually a "setup" orchestrated by Democrats.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a dangerous, delusional, and downright stupid person. Quite possibly the dumbest to ever serve in Congress.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a cesspool of ignorance and hatred that spews nothing but lies and bile. Her continued presence in Congress is a travesty and an insult to every decent and intelligent human being. She a danger to American democracy and to the very concept of truth and reason itself. Her support of violent and hateful extremist groups is nothing short of treasonous, and her disregard for the suffering of others is nothing short of sociopathic.

It is beyond comprehension how anyone could support such a vile and despicable creature, but then again, perhaps that says more about the depravity of her supporters than it does about her. In any case, it is long past time for her to be cast out into the darkness, where she can rot in obscurity and never again be allowed to inflict her toxic presence on the world.

[Guardian45]

What I find MOST disturbing is NOT that MTG is an effen imbecile, but that SOMEHOW she WON an election, which means the MAJORITY of people voted FOR HER! On what planet is the that possible?

[loveslongnails]

The district she represents can't tell their asses from a whole in the ground. It's still Georgia, and they (we, I live there) ALMOST elected Walker, yet another lying moron. If you took away Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia would be right there with LA, MS, AL and AK as the dumbest states in the south, followed closely by FL.

[Guardian45]

*WOW* Thank you for enlightening us!

[holdem4884]

@guardian45 Touche, well stated.
@loveslongnails Excellent point, couldn't agree more.

[Guardian45]

Thank you for MHO!

[exitseven]

What is more disturbing is AOC Was re elected despite not filing a single bill and chasing Amazon out of her district. Talk about stupid voters.

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven Of course you find AOC more disturbing than MTG. Who cares that she didn't file a bill? MTG is an unhinged whacko in every possible way, who admittedly hates her job but refuses to quit because its such a sweet deal. AOC has had some big fails and said some dumb things, but nothing like MTG.

That said, AOC has had some absolutely BRILLIANT moments, especially when she tore down the PAC's. MTG has had zero moments of brilliance, or intelligence even, on any given subject, and that's documented. All you need do is listen to her, about anything. But once again, she's right-wing and extreme, and that's always better no matter what it is.

[holdem4884]

@exitseven Almost all bills ever filed die in committee. As such whether or not a legislator files bills themselves is not a measurement of success.

As of August 2021, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had cosponsored 229 bills during her time in Congress.

AOC can be faulted but the public record alone assures her IQ is several quintiles above MTG.

[exitseven]

AOC does not have even a rudimentary understanding of economics. She does not understand why you just can't keep printing money. She is really embarrassing

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven And you don't have a rudimentary understanding of MTG, insanity, decency or the concept of perjury, which is why you defend them and still coddle Trump. At least AOC can be educated and would be willing to learn something she's not adept at. MTG thinks she knows everything and everyone else knows nothing. If you call AOC embarrassing, what the FUCK do you call MTG?

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails Shje does not want to learn anything, she is just too busy on social media blaming everyone else for the ills of the world.

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven Yes, that's MTG alright. LOL

[holdem4884]

@exitseven AOC may advocate for some policies that aren't the most practical but I'm not aware of her routinely saying things that are downright delusional.

She has expressed support for the execution of prominent Democratic politicians, including former President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Here are some MTG highlights:

"I'm very excited about that now there's 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." (YouTube interview, 8/2020)

"The Jewish space laser is a real thing, and it's causing forest fires in California." (Facebook, 2018).

"Muslims do not belong in government. They swear on the Quran, not the Bible. They aren't upholding our Constitution." (Twitter, 2019)

"The COVID-19 vaccine is not only unnecessary, it's actually a plot by the government to control the population and usher in the New World Order." (Multiple interviews, 2021)

These comments are completely unfounded and false, they have no scientific or factual basis and are totally divorced from reality.

[shortster]

I think that distinction belongs to Hank Johnson

https://YouTu.be/cesSRfXqS1Q

[holdem4884]

That was fantastic. Valid entry.

"We don't anticipate that..."
Polite way of stating:
"That's absolutely f***ing impossible..."

[SamIam96]

Johnson was certainly long winded, If you look at his face, it's obvious he's toying with the general. Not the same thing as being stupid.

[holdem4884]

@SamIam96 He did say, "I wasn't suggesting that the island of Guam would literally tip over," ... Johnson said he was "using a metaphor" to describe how adding more military personnel to the tiny island "could be a tipping point which could adversely affect the island’s fragile ecosystem and could overburden its stressed infrastructure."

It's quite possible he said it in jest. MTG is exponentially dimmer but there's plenty of other evidence indicating he isn't the sharpest.

[blumoonury]

If stupidity was a superpower, she'd be a f***ing superhero. MTG is a bottom-feeding troglodyte who slithers out of the putrid swamp of ignorance and conspiracy theories. She is a bumbling fool who is more dangerous than a box of rattlesnakes, spewing lies and propaganda with reckless abandon. Her very existence is an affront to human decency, and her vile and disgusting ideas should be eradicated from the public discourse like a plague. She is a blight on the human race, and anyone who associates with her should be ashamed of themselves.

[Friendlybro79]

Your vocabulary is outstanding! Well said @blumoonury.

[Guardian45]

Tell us how you REALLY FEEL, Bro!😂🤣🤪

[SamIam96]

The crap that Marjorie says is mind boggling. Often, it could pass for a Saturday Night Live script.

Marjorie probably has the lowest IQ in the House, but Matt Gaetz isn't far behind. Imagine the evil spawn if the two reproduced? Fortunately, Marjorie at 48 years old is about 33 years older than Matt likes.

[loveslongnails]

You got that right.

[goaded]

How about Louie Gohmert?

"Gohmert suggested the January 6 storming of the U. S. Capitol was a conspiracy possibly set up by Democrats. In September 2022, upon the release of convicted January 6 participant Simone Gold from federal prison, he gave Gold an American flag that had flown on the Capitol."

[holdem4884]

Yeah, I don't think he outranks MTG on the moron scale but Louie Gohmert is an imbecile.

He suggested that gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry because they might someday want to marry a turtle.

He also suggested that pregnant women should be banned from flying on airplanes because they might give birth and somehow threaten national security.

[exitseven]

I was a little suspect of her as well but I saw her on TV evaluating the disaster in Ohio. I think she had a better take on it than either of the two boobs whose responsibility is to appropiately address the issue.

[holdem4884]

So you're going with the broken clock is a good place to check time argument?

I'm not sure what she said about the Ohio train but she has consistently proven to be completely devoid of any critical thinking abilities.

This is the woman who claimed that the 2018 California wildfires were caused by a space laser controlled by Jewish bankers in order to clear the way for a high-speed rail project.

Let that sink in, but not for too long because it will rot your mind.

[exitseven]

I never heard that but I suspect if it was true it would have been on all the fake news channels. I think that maybe she was joking and the fake news does not have a sense of humor. This happened when everyone said that Trump told people to drink bleach.

[holdem4884]

It was covered by read news publications. She made several posts on Facebook about it. This article includes a screenshot of one of the posts.

nymag.com/.../...ace-laser-rothschild-execute.html

Trump wasn't joking when he said it. He was holding a press conference and talking to a member of the White House covid task force. Here's the clip: https://youtu.be/zicGxU5MfwE

[holdem4884]

It wasn't just a flippant comment. She made a long rambling conspiracy laden post.

[loveslongnails]

Bullshit. NO ONE ever said Trump told them to "drink bleach". Go back and listen to the video.

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails Trump was just brainstorming. He was asking about systemic medication and just threw that idea out there. Brainstorming is a common problem solving technique. The press got a hold of it and took it totally out of context.

[holdem4884]

@loveslongnails You'll notice that's not what I said. That was your comment. I simply pointed out that you were incorrect to assert that Trump was joking.

That said, he has a cult like following and such people don't think critically about what they hear.

The President is a spokesman and should be communicating important things during a press conference on a pandemic virus.

Brainstorming isn't appropriate. Doing so about injecting any disinfectant shows how intellectually deficient the man is. It is and always will be a terrible idea. I hope I don't have to explain why.

[loveslongnails]

My comment was directed at exitseven. The "@" thing screws up - I support your point and it's obvious from the video what he said, and was implying.

[slatyb]

Perhaps.. if Herschel Walker had been elected, he would have been.

[holdem4884]

I think you have a strong case there.

[slatyb]

Either that or she's just conning the base to amass wealth like the Fox news personalities who, it is now known, never believed the election was stolen. They just went along because it was good for ratings and their paychecks.

[Friendlybro79]

Stupidity is the new face of the GOP because they believe the avg republican voter is an idiot just like her and believe in absolute garbage.

[holdem4884]

I'm not sure the GOP just thinks the average republican voter is an idiot who believes in absolute garbage. The utter lack of intelligence shown by the people in the MAGA movement is proof.

[Anonymous]

Possibly, although that distinction may fall to Lauren Boebert….. the GED wielding ex-barfly.

[holdem4884]

Ah, the dynamic duo of stupidity and ignorance, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. It's a close call, but I Boebert might edge out Greene in the race for the title of least intelligent person ever elected to Congress. Boebert's conspiracy theories, baseless accusations, and general lack of intelligence are truly unparalleled.

These two nitwits make Sarah Palin look like a Nobel laureate. I wouldn't trust them to tie their own shoes, let alone make sound policy decisions that affect people's lives.

These imbeciles would be better off living in a cave, grunting and throwing rocks at each other, rather than holding public office and spewing their hateful and divisive rhetoric. Their presence in Congress is a testament to the failure of our political system, and a blight on the intelligence and decency of humanity. They are nothing but a pair of worthless, despicable fools.

[AngryCarl2]

I mean that's a pretty low bar. But she's not just stupid, she's also a nutcase.

[OddBeMe]

Not sure. The least moral, yeah. But they are intelligently marketing themselves to idiots.

[NewsReader]

No, that would be AOC for sure

[holdem4884]

Yeah, that doesn't hold up. I can understand why you might disagree with the policy positions she takes but I'm not aware of her spouting totally unfounded conspiratorial nonesense the way MTG does.

[the-mad-german]

nope... i think there are worse people.

[holdem4884]

Worse people? Sure, John Wayne Gacy was arguably a worse person, but he was more intelligent and not a member of Congress. That's what we're talking about.
