Marjorie Taylor Greene Says Americans 'Have Been Brainwashed' By Fox News, New York Post As She Opposes U.S. Entering Israel-Iran War
This is a ''The worst person you know just made a great point.'' moment, isn't it?
"Even a broken clock is right twice a day"
Feels like a plague rat telling you "hey yo rats have the plague"
More like the worst person ever now says the same as everyone else
It's easy to pretend when your vote doesn't count. It's really fuckin easy when you've abdicated your responsibility as the US Congress and you don't even get to vote.
I wonder if she overheard it somewhere
That was not on my bingo card
She already opposed "anti-BDS" laws that would criminalize Americans for publicly declaring that they will not buy products for political reasons.
While she is a terrible person all around, she is consistent in asking "does this help America" in her idea of what "America" is supposed to be.
Evidently wasting billions on Israel, getting US soldiers killed and forbidding people in the US from voicing their opionion including on what to buy and not to buy is detrimental to the US.
you weren't paying attention then, once she said JEWISH space lasers she was fucked
"Peace tree dish"
What exactly is this woman’s platform?
"Keep me in power and, more importantly, the spotlight"
She's an attention whore. Nothing more, nothing less. It's why she married her pedophile husband: he gave her attention when she was underage.
fear
If you could sum it up in one word: isolationist.
This means low/no immigration, limiting cultural access to 'home grown' culture and expelling anyone that doesn't conform to whatever her idea of 'American' is. The only 'good' part of that stance is that this also means they don't want to sign up to the traditional penchant for military adventurism you'll typically see from the right.
Whatever Putin says it is
the glorious 1890s
I am "not" a Russian asset
She's a true believer in the stuff Trump says to stir up shit.
Xenophobic white Christian nationalism, ignorance, fear, anger and hatred.
Before you get too excited, this was an interview with OAN, and that she thinks people should be paying more attention to OAN
ooough
OHN (oh no)
Going on OAN and calling Fox News right wing propaganda is peak irony.
Broken clock
Kinda. MTG is ragging on Fox News, sure, but she's also both-sides'ing media outlets on the left with her full quote:
We have propaganda news on our side just as the left does
She's fishing for people to agree with her which legitimizes her claim that left-leaning news networks are just as untrustworthy as Fox News, which is an untrustworthy news outlet, but she doesn't say shit about Breitbart or OANN or any of the other right-wing superspreaders of misinformation.
So, she is a broken clock that's currently pointing at the correct time, but she did it in a way to sneak in an untruth or two in there hoping that people would pick up on that and amplify the message.
Look, fuck this racist asshole Marjory. But liberal news sources are also largely garbage. The NYT, for example (well respected by liberals) is constantly giving voice to reactionaries, lying by omission, supporting US imperialism and just generally upholding the status quo, even when it means normalizing/legitimizing fresh horrors from republicans.
Putting the new York times and fox news in the same category is correct as far as I can tell. I don't oppose her calling NYT republican either.
I have not looked at the American mainstream press for a few months, but honestly cannot remember any broadcasters or papers who are decently covering all news
Yeah thats what broken clock means
Exactly.
Fuck, I agree with MTG this morning? And I was off to such a good start today.
I prefer "stopped clock," since broken clocks can often continue ticking, albeit at the wrong speed.
I oppose war in Iran because war is detestable.
You oppose war in Iran because you want troops in California instead.
We are not the same.
We’re in the clown dimension.
[while] Speaking to former Rep. Matt Gaetz on OAN
😑
So close, yet so far.
Remember when the craziest news was that Trump nominated him for Attorney General?
You know things are really fucked when you find yourself saying "hell yeah" to statements by mtg and tucker
Russia is pro Iran so it wasn't entirely unexpected.
Russia is not so much "pro Iran" as it is keeping an ambiguous relationship with Israel and Iran. Russia let Israel bomb Iranian militias in Syria. Israel sold drones to Russia after Russia invaded Crimea. Israel even demanded Ukraine to just give up against Russia behind closed doors. Netanyahu praised Russia and Putin in the past months and Israel refrained from demanding sanctions on Russia since the full scale invasion 2022.
I believe that MTGs position is coming from a sincere "MAGA" position. Why should the US let Israel dictate what it is doing and what it is not doing? Why should the US on top of it pay billions to Israel for Israel to drag the US around?
Populism works because it taps into actually existing grievances. Or creates them, but in this case it's option A.
Plus she's an actual Nazi type.
Heartbreaking, the worst person you know just made a great point
Saw polling where even Trump voters only have 25% support for attack on Iran, and majority of all demographics oppose by over 50%. There is a huge disconnect between zionist supremacist media and politicians, and American people. Not just war, but marjority of Amercians have unfavourable view of Israel despite absolute political/media dominance to "educate them".
Polls also show overwhelming support for social security and taxing the rich, the GOP don't give af and the R voters won't change how they vote over this.
A republican being anti-Fox News? That's a bold strategy.
I have heard some people refer to Fox News as being, and I quote, "liberal."
In fairness, these people are part of the MAGA crowd, so I assume they can't actually read and have no idea what the word "liberal" means.
"Liberal" is just another slur to them, like "woke."
at this rate, she's going to go so conservative that she'll end up out of a job, because women voting or getting elected is "woke".
During Trump's first term, Fox pushed back just slightly on some of the shit he was trying to pull. Turned out even Fox wasn't entirely comfortable with Trump being president. However, this backfired and pushed some viewers to OAN because Fox had spent the last couple decades training their viewers to hate anyone who even slightly opposes a Republican president. Of course, that increased OAN's profile, which got them on Trump's radar. Trump loves them because they won't stop sucking his dick, so he promotes them to his followers, so now a bunch of people that used to religiously watch Fox now religiously watch OAN and think that Fox isn't conservative enough.
They made a monster and it slipped its leash.
It's funny how it they were leftists using that word correctly, they'd be right. Ain't that some shit?
When I hear someone like MTG say something like this my first thought isn’t “Oh, she’s finally figuring it out!” No. It’s “What fucked up way does she think people need to be brainwashed to align more with her brand of shittiness?”
I thought this was a SNL skit with a joe biden character on the left.
Wtf is Matt "Statutory Rape" Gaetz doing there?
He thought it was a learning seminar about brainwashing hoping to use it for more 'statutory' shenanigans.
Yesssss. Eat each other.
you mean the war started by the spoiled child state enabled by the USA?
Long in the making:
https://tankie.tube/w/sh7jHCDiBgK74cjdV9wxVb
0:55 WTF
You know, I was pretty adapted to this whole "dumbest reality" thing. I thought I had a good handle on it.
Now I'm agreeing with Bimbo Spacelasers on a political stance... I'm literally having an existential crisis to that.
She's not actually a space laser, that's just something she'd like you to believe, she's actually one of those blinky lights that nobody knows what it's for, you just don't know what youd do if it ever went out.
And just whose fault IS that, Marjorie?
Well, duh, otherwise you'd never have been elected you moron.
Holy shit, sanity from MTG?? WHAT PLANET IS THIS
"We have propaganda news on our side just as the left does"
Greene claimed that since Carlson was fired from "neocon network Fox News, he has more popularity and viewers than ever before" and that "he unapologetically believes the same things I do."
Yeah, nah.
She has nothing. She does nothing. She just wants to be in the headlines.
welcome to the resistance, Marjorie
this one never ceases to get a giggle out of me
This is not a time to get hung up about identity politics, who's red, who's blue. Everyone should scream at the Trump regime that war with Iran is unacceptable and to never bring it up again.
There will be time for bickering afterwards about details, but right now, everyone against this war should circle the wagons.
And everyone not against this war needs to first say no to that war, second pick up an history book about Iraq and Afghanistan.
Is that her face?
Is that the sound of fast-approaching leopards?
Is it face-eating season?
I want to hear the crunch in THX when the leopard clamps down.
I dont even think leopards would want to eat her face ... she has those crazy chimpanzee eyes that are too close together.
The recurring cycle of MTG deciding she wants more attention.
She's just holding out for more concessions using their marginal bloc
Don't take any notes and don't learn a thing from this, leftists.
Just keep voting for neoliberals and demanding no concessions in exchange.
It's for OAN. sorry everyone
Lol
Lmao
There's a youtuber I like that uses the term "weaponized autism" but this is more of a "ballistic brain damage" scenario.
"Want to see something cool?"
I got that dude all over my feed now. No idea why, but I'm never disappointed in the fact that the stuff he's throwing out is, in fact, super cool
Here’s hoping some of the people in her camp receive the message.
Yeah that’s the thing, shes broadcasting to people that need to hear this, that would never see this in their feeds otherwise. Bannon and Carlson are too.
But if Trump pulls the trigger? Well, let’s see how they’ll cross him.
Lee Corso in a wig is SO CLOSE to self aware here.
Almost there, cro magnum bad bleach blonde boy bod
I do find it kinda sus that both CNN and fox are advocating for the us to get involved fucking up Iran.
not really, cnn is owned by MALONE who is a hardcore trumper. he has the stake in ccn, its not litche apparently who was fired very shortly after he got hired.
He is the reason why ccn became fox-lite, soon other MSM-s followed the formula of becoming a fox lite to trick gen xers and some boomers who dont watch fox.
Really odd how her opinions always seem to line up with the Kremlin's
MTG is brainwashed by RT, tin foil hat conspiracy theories and memes from random people. Basically Fox News and NY Post are not crazy enough for her.
Daddy-Don sending military to assist teh joooos
"EvERY ONe IS BRaINWaSHeD! ... except me"
She flipped?!?!? wtf is going on? lol I swear I didn’t take drugs on a weekday.
She probably means they should getting their news from OANN and other more-right-than-FOX sources
Not really. She's always been racist first with antisemitism at the top of mind. This war is the best chance ever for her to bash Israel without pushback and she's not going to miss it for anything.
lol it’s just jokes :P
Vomits go, MTG!
What? No...say it isn't so. Fox News is a propaganda mouthpiece? I am just shocked I tell you, absolutely gobsmack shocked.
In other news...the sky is blue, for reasons that the Trump administration have deemed, illegal.
I'm not sure this is a "win"
It is just reality
This is Majorie Taylor to Ground Control
\
I'm stepping through the door
\
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
\
And the stars look very different today
The moment when craziest person is giving you most sane advice ...
Oh, the irony.
Marjorie Karen Green was bound to be truthful about something eventually.
A broken clock, etc etc
I wouldn't be surprised if she were one of the handful sitting members of Congress who have no idea what roll they're required, by the oath of office that they swore to, to be apart of when was is declared.
When a right winger tells the truth, it's because they're lying twice. Or in this case, more like 4, possibly 6 times.
Who?
It’s not Thursday….
Lmao
Well for once she has a point
Probably the rare times she said something that isn't totally crazy
She probably feels the more involved we are with Israel vs Iran, the less involved we will be with Trump vs Americans. The lady has priorities on who she wants to die first.
Trying to change her tune to keep her head out of the targeting reticle
My god
I have no idea if she's just that stupid and only sees one move in front of her, or if she always knew but it's only now suitable for her to say the truth. (It's also possible it's both with these people.)
.
Next president, right there
the first president of the neanderthals i might add.
Or "my dumb mouth is so wide open in disbelief at what what you're just now telling me" tucky.
I don't even know her motivation. She could just keep quiet and not shoot herself in the foot.
A broken clock...
Happy that this particular lunatic is right on this particular issue.
I'm going to guess that Russia doesn't want us to enter the war.
Probably. Tucker Carlson is saying the same thing, so their handlers are telling them “nope, we don’t like that”.
I'm guessing everyone with a brain doesn't want the US to go into Iran. It's like these people didn't learn anything from the last quarter century (and Vietnam before that).
Putin gets his drones from Iran
Then why would Krasnov be doing it?
after all that trouble they went to get military aid to be diverted from ukraine, indirectly via trump. probably realized the war near thier own country could destabalize the region which can draw in russia, possibly pakistan,india and china.
A very, very dumb clock... Once every crazy dumb day...
That's the saying isn't it?
Jokes aside, agreed she's right, and credit where it's due for sure.
Sus a slow clock, not a broken clock.
She's right every couple decades.
