U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced Thursday she feels threatened by U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), claiming his physical mannerisms are aggressive, theres a lot of concern about him, and hes someone that people should watch, after video of the two outside the U.S. Capitol Wednesday shows both having a surprisingly lively, collegial debate, and laughing and joking.
But Thursday, Greene tried to build a case against Bowman, claiming that at a recent New York City protest rally against Donald Trump, Rep. Bowman was shouting at the top of his lungs, cursing, calling me a horrible calling me a white supremacist, which I take great offense to. That is like calling a person of color the N word which should never happen. Calling me a white supremacist is equal to that and that is wrong. Jamaal Bowman was down there cursing at me telling me to get the eff out of there. And he was leading the mob.
After having attempted to paint the New York Democratic Congressman as dangerous, Greene declared, I think theres a lot of concern about Jamaal Bowman, so and I am concerned about, I feel threatened by him. He not only let a mob there, but his boisterous lies.

(100,087 posts)It's not funny, it never was funny, or ever will be funny. And it also minimizes the victims of the very real crime of pedophilia. And it's insane that we have elected officials like Marjorie Shit For Brains that think it's funny. Just absolute madness.

(29,213 posts)in her little world, someone who says that gay and trans and bi even exist in the world and who tell children that are, in fact, pedophiles. And it is clear from her interviews on the subject that she is serious about this. Joe Biden is, according to her, a pedophile because he acknowledges that LBGTQ even exist.

(11,740 posts)A pedophile is someone who is SEXUALLY ATTRACTED to pre-pubescent children. That is a pedophile, nothing else.
Acknowledging that children are sexual beings, with some understanding and opinion on their gender identity and sexual orientation, HAS FUCK ALL to do with pedophilia.
With Greene it is difficult to say because is just really fucking stupid, like really, almost "How does she remember to breathe?" stupid. She doesn't know what words mean, like the time she said, "Corporate Communism" in describing how Democratic politicians were applauding some of the recent stances by companies on LGBTQ and other issues. WTF is "Corporate Communism"? Those words have no business whatsoever being in the same sentence together.

Her biceps are pudgy. I'm a female who used to lift weights and know what sculpted biceps look like. I'm sick of watching her "proudly" sporting her flabby arms in sleeveless attire.

(58,785 posts)political cosplay for the press who were covering her announcement of filing for impeachment of Biden. That is obviously what it was, each yelling to dominate the performance, though at least he was calling for attention to problems like guns and lost migrant children.
He's spot on that she subsequently used a racial "bullhorn" to plant a target on his black man's back. And a huge, nasty label on her own. She reminds me of the woman 14-year-old Emmet Till was supposed to have offended, Carolyn Bryant, who wore hers for the rest of her life, and still does.

(58,785 posts)by equating it with a racial epithet that's socially suppressed out of decency. Being called that offends her! Good.
WaPo columnist Philip Bump: 'You know how I know white supremacist isnt as bad as the n-word? Because were saying white supremacists.' Actually, his column all about her claim discussed a number of reasons.
