She says that despite the fact it's been confirmed the guy who tried to murder Trump was a Republican...

Yeah, she sounds confused. The word she's looking for is Republicans.

Did anyone really believe the GOP would tone down their rhetoric? This is their brand, and they'd be nothing without it.

If you actually hate her, why do you signal-boost her? Why do you give her the attention she wants and help her spread her message? If you actually hated her, you'd block her.

In the meantime, MTG will thank you for giving her the free press.

What an inbred shit smoker.

Yes, bad people will stop trying to do bad stuff if we just ignore them. /s

Actually, TC made it a point of not linking to any social media or news article and posted a screenshot. That's the least amount of signal boosting they could have done for her.

In addition to evil people will still do/say evil things even if we intentionally ignore it, it's good for us to know what they're saying so we can come up with counter arguments/measures. It can also be used in an argument/discussion when you need to cite someone who's a real fucking lying sack of shit and give an earnest reason why.

While they say "ignorance is bliss", in my opinion more often than not it's actually just dangerous. The most relevant current example is people ignorant to Project 2025/the horrors Trump is promising with his vengeful retribution dictatorship in a second term.

And everybody knows the best way to stop somebody who's seeking attention for saying nasty things is by giving them attention for saying nasty things. Why, that only discourages them! /s

so your position is that the world should just ignore evil people and leave them to do whatever they want with no pushback? didnt work out well for europe when that right wing lunatic started causing trouble in the late 30's. didnt work out for eastern europe when putin started doing that in the 00's.

mtg is toxic shit and the best strategy is to educate the public how she is an average republican in 2024. they all are ok with trying to overthrow democracy and stripping rights away from people and using nazi style rhetoric against their opponents

If a kid in school says over and over again that he's gonna do a school shooting and people have been telling he's really deranged, the best course of action is to simply ignore them.
*kid goes on a shooting spree in the school the following day*
Pikachu!?

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Also don't forget domestic abusers using guns to kill their pregnant partners. While it's one of the few gun control issues a portion of Republicans can get behind, many of them still think it's too far because "fake accusations will make me lose muh gerns!"

That worked out so well for the parents of Ethan Crumbley.

Oh, wait, they actually became the first people ever charged and convicted for the mass murder of their child due to their irresponsibly.

Though in their case they did also directly ignore signs and I believe literal cries for help (if I'm not mistaken he wanted therapy and instead they got him a gun), still they also chose to remain ignorant to all of those warning signs and treat them as though they were anything but.

The Democrats are the party of pedophiles

"Ive known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. Hes a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." - Donald Trump on convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein

murdering the innocent unborn

The ten states with the highest infant mortality rates are all governed by Republicans.

violence and bloody, meaningless, endless wars.

George Bush, a Republican, was president when we invaded Iraq (an 8-year war) and Afghanistan (a 20-year war).

They want to lock up their political opponents

Donald Trump campaigned on locking his 2016 opponent up and was impeached for extorting the Ukrainian president into investigating his presumed 2020 opponent.

and terrorize innocent Americans who would tell the truth about it.

The DHS has named right wing extremists as the gravest terror threat to the United States.

The Democrat party is flat out evil, and yesterday tthey tried to murder President Trump.

The shooter was a registered Republican.

In summation, literally ever part of that quote is projection. Every last word of it.

MTG existing isn't the problem. Here being of considerable influence and political sway, being a member of congress, someone who can sit in a hearing and call fauci a murderer...that's the problem.

Well, even if she wasn't in Congress she'd still be a problem. Her initial claim to fame was as a civilian when she followed around and harassed David Hogg in regards to school shootings and his activism.

And even if she wasn't that, she'd still be an ardent Trumper and those are still a problem.

She is one person I honestly might hate more than Trump. I don't see Trump out on the sidewalk harassing parents of Sandy Hook victims. Trump is capable of telling the truth when he wants, but she isn't. This stupid b**** is genuinely unhinged and has no business being in politics.

I can handle a lit bit of crazy. You walk around a city for long enough and you'll see plenty of examples. Some people are just unwell and you just hope they get help and avoid them best you can.

What's wild is that this batshit crazy nutjob is now one of the most powerful people in America.

Crazy is fine, she's maliciously evil in everything she does.

Honestly, I can't remember ever hearing about any sort of altruism or charity on her behalf, her entire existence is conspiracy theories and spreading hatred towards others.

She's even such a piece of shit that she got a 183k PPP loan during COVID, had it forgiven, and then had the temerity to cry foul against that for far more impoverished college loan holders.

As for the second part, she was during McCarthy. I think she's lost a lot of her clout and influence since he got ousted. I do agree that someone like her should have never been elevated so high, however if I remember correctly her support was considered essential for McCarthy, so I understand why he capitulaetd to her so much.

She truly is the most revolting person in this country, and that includes POSs like Trump, Vance, Thomas, Alito, and Gatez.

Regardless, this is clear proof that nothing will change as a result of Saturday's events, and Trump and the GOP will be back to their regular domestic terrorist/wannabe fascist rhetoric probably as soon as the RNC convention.

everyone has met an unhinged lunatic at some point, they will always exist. the issue is when 40+ % of the us are totally cool with someone significantly more deranged than the 'lizard people are real' guy being a united states congresswoman

edit: if the Epstein files are true, Trump and MTG are nearly neck-and-neck for being the worst shitstain on the underwear of US politics.

i think matt gaetz is worse since he almost certainly sex trafficked minors and is just as insane as mtg but it is a competitive race at the bottom of the gop. they also have guys like former congressman steve king and former speaker of the house and convicted pedophile dennis hastert

Yeah, Im sure if we all stop talking about all the horrible things Republicans do and say on CE all those problems will go away.

"You know all those terrible things our party is being accused of lately? Well, it's actually those other guys!"

Count_Drachma/Zeus also denies there being any connection between Trump and Project 2025. He's one of those "centrists" who always feels a need to defend Republican shit stains from sound criticisms.

wow well way to signal boost him!

She's a step away from spouting pizzagate conspiracies which given her history with QAnon is probably what she wants to do but she knows that's too crazy even for the GOP.

At this point nothing drives away more moderates and independents then ridiculous shit like this, give this stupid bitch a bigger microphone please. I hope they bring her out for some wacky speech at the RNC, the only people that eat up her stupid shit are people so far right they would vote for Trump in every situation.

Trump has a pretty damn easy path to victory if he plays this really cool and calm, but knowing him he will try to rile up his crowd eventually.

I think we all saw this coming, things are going to get worse.

MTG really doesn't need to try so hard to keep her status as a joke tier person.

As a European, it blows my mind that people are allowed to say this in any public speech and face zero consequences. I guess the First Amendment protects this? If you call someone a pedophile, and this person has not been convicted, I'm pretty sure that over here you'd be sued for slander.

Then again, by looking at her Wiki page...

Greene has promoted antisemitic and white supremacist views including the white genocide conspiracy theory, QAnon, and Pizzagate. She has amplified conspiracy theories that allege government involvement in mass shootings in the United States, implicate the Clinton family in murder, and suggest the attacks of 9/11 were a hoax. Before running for Congress, Greene supported calls to execute prominent Democratic Party politicians, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. As a congresswoman, she equated the Democratic Party with Nazis, and compared COVID-19 safety measures to the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust, later apologizing for this comparison. During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Greene promoted Russian propaganda and praised Vladimir Putin. Greene identifies as a Christian nationalist.

Wait, what the heck? This is literally the worst of internet-based clickbait absurdities and disinformation in one individual. And this person is a congresswoman? She should be barred from any political office whatsoever.

If Gangrene was a normal person with no power she would 100% have been sued into oblivion by now.

Unfortunately, she has political power and money. Someone who tries to sue her would probably get so many death threats until they withdrew out of fear.

Yep, the first amendment is a pretty damn broad sword but you gotta keep in mind it's mostly to protect speech no one likes. The entire point is so you don't have to constantly say what everyone else is saying. In the past it has also allowed Nazi's to spew their hatred and the KKK.

Once you start censoring speech it's a slippery slope to removing nearly all speech that has any real interesting opinions or challenges the status quo.

Which surely will have many speakers calling to tone down the political rhetoric!

Can she be charged with revenge porn yet? Also for showing it to minors via email.

As an adoptive father MTG can go take a long walk off a very short bridge for her views and rhetoric.

seems par for the course for these shitbags...

But remember guys, according to Mike Johnson, the left needs to lower that rhetoric.

"But let's tone down the rhetoric"

How the hell is repeating what Trump says and what he plans to do a form of inciting violence?

Democrats are too soft. The right are GAS LIGHTING people. Hate speech and inciting violence is Trump's brand and why he's so beloved by his base. Fucking do something.

MTG is a literal goblin woman. She only exists as a symbol of what the right wing has become

Remember when she stalked and harassed AOC?

Or Trump joked about Pelosi's husband being attacked?

Or said the 2nd amendment would help if Clinton was elected?
