So, don't say where you heard this, but I have a copy of the press release McCarthy will use this

evening after he "has a word with" Ms Greene. Got it from ol' Duane over at the "Liquor Locker" and he got it from the driver who delivers beer all over the area and his brother-in-law's sister works at the state capital, so you know this is reliable info.

"As Minority Leader in the US House of Representatives, it fell to me to have a word with freshman Representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene this evening because of the recent media frenzy concerning the unpopularity of some of her views. We had a full and frank discussion and I can assure you that I now know all I need to know about this new member of our caucus.

I sort of somewhat believe her when she says she did not say all of those hateful things on those videos and asserts that Jewish socialist billionaires paid for extensive plastic surgery on a Marjorie look-alike and paid her BIG BUCKS to say those hateful things before the cameras of fake news journalists thought to have been employed by Soros interests. In a similar manner, antifa and BLM operatives hacked into her social media accounts and planted disgusting tirades now falsely attributed to her.

That's what she says is the truth of the matter and I can't think of any reason she would lie.

So, now that I have set things straight, let's move on and Make America Great Again, shall we?"



Remember, you didn't hear that from me. Act surprised when it's made public tonight.

If it weren't for Gohmert, Kevin (or Qevin, as Madam Speaker called him) would be the dumbest member of Congress. He's also weak and foolish. It's really astounding that the Republicans in the House chose him to be their caucus leader!

...than for someone they thought they might be able to manipulate. On both sides of the R-Q divide.

Boehner saw where it was headed and bailed (zip-a-dee-doo-dah). Ryan still thinks he will be President one day and knew he couldn't herd those particular cats and have any kind of a political future. McCarthy was just dumb enough to think he could handle the crowd of crazies.
