.@RepMTG boasted last week about her performance during a classified briefing on the shooting down of the ‘Chinese Spy Balloon,’ saying “I chewed ‘em out” and “tore ‘em to pieces.” A democratic lawmaker who attended has since come forward to set the record straight. (Thread)
According to @RepCohen, Greene’s behavior was a “cringey shitshow.” “She made a total absolute fool of herself. And didn’t know what she was talking about,” Cohen said. Cohen said he deliberately stayed for the entire meeting in part to document every bit of her insane behavior.
Cohen said Greene berated officials, stating “You embarrassed the president. You let this balloon fly over the United States. We didn’t know what was in that balloon. It could have been nuclear material or radiation and you let it fly over our country for eight days?” (It was 4)
Greene shouted at officials including a NORAD General: “That was just bullshit! And I don’t believe anything you’re telling us now,” Cohen said. The balloon flew over the U.S. for 4 days and the briefers explained it wasn’t shot down earlier due to the risks posed to civilians.
When one of the officials attempted to respond to Greene’s comments, she screamed at him, Cohen said. But the official was done taking it. “He said, ‘Ma’am, I didn’t interrupt you and I appreciate your not interrupting me.’ And she shut up,” Cohen added. “But she’s unbelievable.”
The fact that this insane insurrectionist is the face of the Republican Party in 2023 and they saw fit to not only restore her Committee assignments but place her on both the Oversight and Accountability AND Homeland Security Committees says everything about the state of the @GOP
She needs to be expelled and prosecuted for her role in January 6th along with at least a dozen of her colleagues. I’ve written countless threads on the bottomless pit of treasonous ignominious disgrace that is @RepMTG. Here’s one:
And here’s an incredible video of @RepRaskin wiping the floor with her in an exchange on the House floor after she demonstrated for the billionth time that her allegiance lies with Putin, which is why her party won’t stop attacking our aid to Ukraine:
And here’s a viral tweet featuring her that I turned into a thread on gay marriage:
.@RepMTG also perjured herself DOZENS OF TIMES during her testimony in the case we brought against her attempting to remove her from the ballot in her GA district on the grounds that she was disqualified under the 14th Amendment but the GOP-appointed judge let her remain on.
Oh and I almost forgot, @RepMTG is also a proud member of the domestic terrorist group Q-Anon, which has perpetrated dozens of attacks and was also deeply involved in January 6th. Here’s a thread on Q-Anon:
And the @GOP is not only fine with this white supremacist seditionist traitor remaining in Congress and being the face of their party, they’re fine with having her PRESIDE over the very body she helped INCITE a group of terrorists to ATTACK and try to KILL on Jan 6th:
.@RepMTG:
—Helped plan and incite Jan 6th
—Lied about it under oath
—Speaks at Neo-Nazi events and poses in pictures with the Proud Boys
—Called for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi to be EXECUTED for “treason”
—Said if she had been in charge, 1/6 “would have succeeded”
—Harasses teenage survivors of school shootings
—Harasses her democratic colleagues
—Spreads vile, bigoted conspiracy theories
—Is a member of a white supremacist domestic terrorist group (Q-Anon)
—Spreads Kremlin talking points on the House floor

Republicans think we’re “scared” about McCarthy handing Tucker 1/6 tapes. We’d prefer if one of the guys who enabled, promoted, and whitewashed 1/6 wasn’t handing that over to another guy who enabled, promoted and whitewashed 1/6. But there’s no footage of 1/6 that helps the @GOP
Splice together whatever you want to spin some dumbass narrative that’s already been debunked a million times over. It isn’t going to change what happened on January 6th, when Trump and the entire congressional GOP helped try to overthrow the government and overturn an election.
We remember 1/6. It’s like 9/11. We remember exactly where we were when the United States Capitol was stormed by members of far-right white supremacist groups and ex-military members turned MAGA militia in an attempt to end American democracy over a lie spread by Trump/the GOP.

.@RepMTG began Presidents’ Day by calling for a ‘national divorce between red and blue states’ and has spent every moment since attacking President Biden and once again baselessly calling for his impeachment. She’s so endlessly embarrassing to herself, her party, and our nation.
.@GOP, your insane mascot who you put on the Homeland Security Committee is calling for THE DISSOLUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. You might want to rethink whether this is a position you are prepared to try to defend. Because I promise you, you are not.
And as much as it might tempt us to entertain the idea of letting the 20% of the country that continues to support disgraced criminal Donald Trump and the fascist Republican Party that is led by white supremacist insurrectionists like Greene secede, it’s not happening.

What people who watch @FoxNews need to understand is that the hosts of their favorite shows and owner of their favorite network have deemed them incapable of hearing the truth re: Trump and the 2020 election as well as virtually every other topic covered on air.
Fox has exposed itself as a network that is simultaneously contemptuous & terrified of its own audience. An entity with no regard for its viewers, the country, the truth, democracy, integrity, or journalism that exists to deliberately concoct/perpetuate lies they KNOW are false.
It’s viewers watch shows every day that have convinced them that up is really down, only to find out that it’s hosts not only know that up is not down, but text each other about how crazy it is that anyone can be dumb enough to believe such things. And yet, they will still watch.

The most recent filing in the Dominion lawsuit against Fox “News” reveals text messages showing it’s top hosts—including Hannity, Tucker, and Ingraham—and even Murdoch HIMSELF didn’t believe Trump’s stolen election lies WHILE THEY CONTINUED PUSHING THOSE LIES RELENTLESSLY on air.
These text messages destroy any remaining shred of credibility this network had. They push dangerous propaganda and lies that they know to be false simply to appease their deranged right-wing MAGA cult viewers. The network is an I.V. drip of poison into America’s bloodstream.

Mike Pence is the most spineless man in American history.
Pence will fail in his efforts to avoid testifying on the basis of the ‘Speech and Debate Clause’ of the Constitution, because:
1.) All precedent dictates that members of Congress cannot avoid testifying about potential criminal activity that doesn’t involve a legislative act
2.) The DOJ seeks Pence’s testimony about Trump’s pressure campaign on on him to assume the power to delay or subvert the electoral count, which: a.) isn’t legislative activity
b.) is a power the Vice President DOES NOT HAVE

This insurrectionist trash pile presiding over the United States House of Representatives for a single second is an unspeakable insult and disgrace to this nation. She is presiding over the body she literally conspired with terrorists to violently overthrow.
Refresher on the critical roles @RepMTG played in organizing, planning, and inciting January 6th, as well as using every moment since to whitewash it, call it a “protest” or “tourist visit,” advocate for J6 prisoners, and blame it on everyone *other* than Trump and the @GOP:
Here’s a review of everything we learned from the January 6th committee hearings; which included evidence that at least a dozen @HouseGOP members were actively involved in coordinating, promoting, and/or inciting the attack as well as seeking pardons from Trump for their roles:
