Marjorie Taylor Greene posts anti-transgender sign across hall from lawmaker with transgender child

(CNN)Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing sharp criticism after she posted an anti-transgender sign outside of her office, directly across the hall from another lawmaker who has a transgender child.


The antagonizing move by Greene comes as the House is expected to pass the Equality Act, a bill that would ban discrimination against LGTBQ Americans, later Thursday, after the Georgia Republican's attempt to block the act failed on Wednesday. It also follows a string of incendiary statements and actions by the freshman Georgia congresswoman, who was removed from her committee assignments earlier this month after violent past comments were unearthed.
Illinois Rep. Marie Newman, whose daughter is transgender, posted a video on Twitter of her hanging the pink and blue transgender pride flag outside her office Wednesday afternoon, captioning that Greene tried to block the act "because she believes prohibiting discrimination against trans Americans is 'disgusting, immoral, and evil,'" adding, "thought we'd put up our Transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door" with winking and transgender flag emojis.

That evening, Greene retweeted Newman's post and added a video of her hanging a sign that reads "There are TWO genders: MALE & FEMALE ...Trust The Science!"

"Our neighbor, @RepMarieNewman, wants to pass the so-called 'Equality' Act to destroy women's rights and religious freedoms. Thought we'd put up ours so she can look at it every time she opens her door," Greene captioned the tweet with winking and American flag emojis

Did anyone else see this?

So, with Democratic majorities and Joe in office, this is tolerated now?

WTAF???

1. That's just mean. Mean for the sake of being mean, not to advance a position.

But what do we expect?

2. I know her kind

All too well.

3. If (someone) were to not tolerate this, what would that look like exactly?

The article says she's coming under sharp criticism ... what ramifications beyond that were you thinking of?

I can tell ya, she is DEFINITELY not invited to dinner at my place. But she was disinvited WAY before this particular stunt.

4. Not to worry

The FBI will be having a nice chat with her soon.

5. That is great news!

I'm sure she's guilty of all manner of law-breaking, but any idea 'what for'?

7. She was up to her eye shadow in the 1-6-21 insurrection

6. Those walls outside those offices seem really clean and uncluttered.

Somehow I get the idea there may be house rules about plastering signs on the walls. I could be wrong.

8. I wish we could clean those offices of all republican vermin.

9. And what "science" would this be, exactly?

Funny how "trust the science" is the slogan for a simplistic and ignorant concept of gender that never advanced beyond elementary school health class

But when it comes to COVID and climate change, then don't trust the science. Oh, and Jewish Space Lasers are totally real.
