The tweet in question to save you the click.
The replies are hilarious. Everyone is 100% in favor of this idea, but the MAGA dipshits don't realize she's literally only doing this to protect a pedophile sex trafficker.
So, MTGs plan is to call out the entire Republican party as corrupt and rally her supporters to air their dirty laundry to the public. Truly fantastic, MTG. Please don't let anyone talk you out of it.
Yeah, nothing wrong with that
You know what's wrong though?
Her brushing over the fact that Gaetz is a pedo rapist. You'll never hear her admit to this because the republican party never admits that they are the source of all the shit they accuse everyone of.
Fuck this waste of oxygen.
17 in georgia? Almost an old maid....
I kid, i kid.
So did Matt...
Am..Am I agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Is..Is Marjorie Taylor Greene making smart, intelligent, good points?
We really are in bizarro world.
When Democrat politicians fuck up, other Democrats will absolutely call for, and get, resignations. Even things that boil down to consenting adults in privacy can result in resignations when it's seen to compromise a politician.
When Republicans fuck up, the party circles the wagons and goes full defensive. They will absolutely fight to resist any calls to resign, using any tactic they can think of to keep their latest pedo/pervert/con man/criminal in power. Only if the evidence is incontrovertible, and the outcry impossible to ignore, will they ever consider resignation, and as we've seen with Gaetz, that's not even necessarily the end of their career.
MTG is exactly the kind of brainlet to think that Democrats work the same way Republicans do. She thinks "Release all the Ethics reports" will make Democrats back down, or at least intimidate them. A party agreeing to release ethics reports relating to their own people is utterly unthinkable to her.
Well, thank you for coming in and ruining the moment with your facts and reason and obvious statements and common sense
A broken clock is still right 2 times a day.
You're giving her too much credit.
Don't worry, you agree with her words but not her intent. She doesn't actually want to do it, she just wants to use the threat of it to keep Gaetz's report secret.
Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks that the Democratic party is far more morally corrupt than the Republican party. So therefore she believes that this is a nuclear option she does not realize that this is what everyone literally wants, well everyone except for the people in her own party.
TFW you accidentally say something smart and you don't even know it
She's threatening other Republicans to keep them in line with Trump.
The headline only touches on it but the article goes deeper into her comment.
It's not an honest request to release anything, but a threat to release everything if they release the Gaetz report.
Ok.
Do it.
The overwhelming problem is that the Dems tend to hold their members accountable while the republicans absolutely DGAF and happily keep literal criminals in their ranks.
She’s basically acknowledging there’s plenty of dirt, but the only offenses they’ll care about is their opponents’.
"For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate, If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see. Yes.. all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed, all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money, the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews. But not just those, there's more, Epstein wasn't/isn't the only asset. If we're going to dance, let's all dance in the sunlight. I'll make sure we do," the lawmaker said in a post on X.
Interesting, she's going the Madison Crawthorn route. Remember what happened to him? They dished up all the dirt they could find on him and hung him out to dry. This sounds noble of her, but she's using this as a threat to try to force them not to go after Gaetz, her pedophile buddy.
That is what the FBI does.
That and get paid by Russians to ruin the body politic by telling the USA that there was no trouble between Trump and Russia right before election.
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but this isn't an actual suggestion to release the Gaetz report.
It's a threat directed at other Republicans that if we are going to release the Gaetz report, we're going to release many other reports too.
Marjorie is a die-hard bootlicker, and she's not going to break lines with Trump.
Her full tweet is in the article. The headline only touches on her intentions.
I mean, it doesn't detract the sentiment of the people. Do it. People want to see the ethic reports on everyone in a position of power.
...yes
I don't think this is as stupid as it sounds. With some exceptions Democratic voters tend to punish their representatives for corruption, but republican voters never do
So you're saying she's betting that while republicans will have significantly more corruption, democrats will be the only ones punished because their voter base is the only one that actually cares? Honestly, you could very well be right about the result of a hypothetical universal ethic report release, though I'd be surprised if MTG was smart enough to think 2 steps ahead like that.
fuckin do it. don't threaten me with a good time.
edit word
this is probably just an internal threat to bring dissenting republicans in line, nothing to see for us here since it likely won't be realized
For once I agree with this ghoul.
Ummm, Ok!!! Don't threaten me with a good time
She's right and all...
But will it actually matter? The public voted for a pedo rapist felon. Surely if the triple threat is your pick for president, to be considered "incompatible" you would have had to do something truly horrific.
Y'all are missing the implication of this. These comments think it's the public she's talking to here. She's talking to other Congress people with skeletons in their closets.
Its actually clever. When the repubs block the release of the reports she will claim the dems balked at releasing the reports because they are the dirty ones.
