I wrote this on January 15. And now we are hearing that Majorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert are among 6 GOP representatives believed to have been involved in the planning of #Jan6

GOP lawmakers were ‘intimately involved’ in Jan. 6 protest planning, new report shows pbs.org/newshour/show/…

If Donald Trump could give birth, it would have been to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, both of whom are clearly created in his image. feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…

Greene and Boebert referred to #Jan6 as Republicans’ “1776 moment,” in a reference to the American revolution. They are the first QAnon supporters to be elected to the US Congress.

The only 2 female insurrectionists who were killed on Jan6 were also both white women who supported QAnon.

If they were not white, from any other country, or certainly if they were Muslim, these women would be called fanatics, thus is the privilege of whiteness. feministgiant.com/p/white-women-…

If the female insurrectionists were footsoldiers of the white supremacist patriarchy who had misread proximity to the power of white men as their own power, then Greene and Boebert are their golden calves. feministgiant.com/p/a-white-supr…

If Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim, she would be in Guantanamo Bay and in shackles.

But because she is white, evangelical, and a woman--a rich one at that--Greene is not in an orange jumpsuit locked up in a U.S. prison camp in Cuba. Instead, she is a member of the House of Representatives in the most powerful country in the world.

I wrote this on Jan. 29: And if Marjorie Taylor Greene was a Muslim, she would be have been led away in handcuffs on her way to a waterboarding. Instead, she is a white supremacist terrorist who sits at the heart of U.S. power.
