    We really are living in the dumbest timeline. The really wild part, to me, is that she didn't correct it when she found it she was wrong. The willful ignorance is the saddest part. It is like admitting a mistake destroys everything they stand for. Humans are dumb, we make silly mistakes all the time. Say oops and fix it and move on with your life.

    Marjorie Taylor Greene Roasted After Flunking Basic History Lesson

    Among those Greene incorrectly claimed as signers of the Declaration of Independence was Alexander Hamilton, the subject of an extremely well-known Broadway musical about his life prior to and after helping craft and sign the Constitution in 1787—more than a decade after the Declaration of Independence was adopted. In addition, Hamilton was 19 when the Declaration of Independence was signed, not 21 like Greene stated.

    It’s unclear where Greene got this information, what prompted her to post it, or why, days after making it, she hasn’t taken it down or corrected it. One user mused that were Greene to have to take a citizenship test as all immigrants to the U.S. seeking citizenship must do, she would likely fail, while others wondered how a sitting member of Congress could be so brazenly ill-informed about U.S. history.

    She's a complete clown no doubt, but if she didn't ask if an island will flip over if too many people live on it, then we aren't in the dumbest of times.

    She is an embarrassment to the Republican Party, someone needs to primary her and beat her.

    There was a moderate Democrat, Marcus Flowers, a veteran who ran against her in 2022 and got only ~33% of the vote. It appears the people of that district prefer a barking seal rather than someone of substance as long as the barking seal is a Republican.

    I thought this was a joke when I first saw it. I still can’t believe she wrote that.

    There is no equivalent in American politics on either side of the aisle to her.
    Go through her history…Most politicians, even the bad ones. are playing a part to win votes, she is legit crazy.

    Honestly, if someone would have asked me if James Madison signed the Declaration of Independence, I probably would have guessed yes. That said, I likely wouldn’t have sent out an authoritative message declaring the importance of that fact either.

    And what would you have done if you said yes and someone showed you that you guessed wrong?

    It's not just that she's a total idiot.

    It's easy to forget how MTG earned her bona fides in the Trumppublican Party : by lying about the Parkland shooting, then stalking victims and politicians about both that incident and gun violence in general.

    She is lower than a mudslide running down one's leg.



    WashingtonCNN —
    Video of Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene confronting Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg before she was elected to Congress went viral Wednesday amid an uproar over newly surfaced comments she made in 2018 and 2019 as reported by CNN’s KFile.

    In the video from March 2019, Greene follows Hogg as he walks toward the US Capitol. She can be heard making false and baseless claims as she asks him a series of questions related to gun rights and how he was able to meet with senators. Hogg continues to walk without addressing Greene.
