Greene Makes More Noise

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a  Republican member of Congress who has no committee assignments and thus very little government business of an official nature to keep her mind occupied, spends most of her government-subsidized time agitating and spinning her angry views, much like a worn-out washing machine in a run-down launderette.

Yesterday Greene turned her over-worked tongue on a fellow Republican congressman, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.   Greene was reacting to the fact that Rep. Kinzinger had accepted an appointment from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to serve on the now bi-partisan committee that is investigating the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.  In accepting the appointment to the select committee, Kinzinger had said, in part:  

"Today I was asked by the Speaker to serve on the House Select Committee to Investigate January 6th, and I humbly accepted.  I will work diligently to ensure we get to the truth and hold those responsible for the attack fully accountable."

Rep. Greene was not having any of Rep. Kingzinger's patriotic humility, and promptly interjected her own opinion on the matter via this tweet:

"You’re not serious, clear eyed, or nonpartisan. "Accepting a seat on a highly partisan witch hunt, assigned by an old Democrat woman who is filled with bitter hate and rage and failed to secure the Capitol, isn’t a call to duty, it means you’re a traitor."

The choice of the word "traitor" is interesting because it provides far more insight into the character and motivations of Congresswoman Greene than it does to Kinzinger. Greene, in her own unique worldview, may see Kinzinger as some form of traitor to his country, which would be a very spurious assumption on her part considering his military service as a combat pilot in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his continuing service as a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard. (Marjorie Taylor Greene is not a US military veteran.) But it is far more likely that Rep. Greene meant to imply that her colleague in the House was a traitor to his political party, the GOP.

Marjorie Taylor Greene apparently believes that Adam Kinzinger is betraying his own political party by serving on the Select Committee to Investigate January 6th. She sees the attack on the United States Capitol as a partisan affair - and Marjorie Taylor Greene is therefore finally right about something.

The attack on the United States Capitol on January 6th, an attack on our Constitution, and our country, and our way of life, does appear to have been rooted in the ideology and falsehoods generated by one particular political party. Thank you, Marjorie, for pointing that out. Please continue to be that honest when you are called to testify.
