Marjorie Taylor Greene got into screaming match with Rep. Cheney over 'Jewish space lasers' comment

Source: Business Insider

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Liz Cheney got into a shouting match about Greene's "Jewish space laser" conspiracy on Thursday, during a House vote to hold Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist and ally of former President Donald Trump, in criminal contempt of Congress.

"I was just talking to Miss Cheney and then she [MTG] starts screaming at Liz. I can't remember exactly what she said. But they got into a back and forth about Jewish space lasers," Rep. Jamie Raskin told New York Daily News.

Social media posts uncovered in January by the left-leaning Media Matters for America, showed Greene publishing false and anti-Semitic conspiracies which alleged that the record 2018 "Camp Fire" wildfire in California was orchestrated by California politicians and wealthy Jewish bankers via a space laser beam, in order to clear a path for a high-speed railway.

At 95, Mel Brooks will finally deliver 'History of the World: Part II'

You couldn’t Torquemada it: Mel Brooks is making a sequel to “History of the World: Part I,” the 1981 revue that delighted and/or appalled Jews with, among other segments, a cheery musical take on the Spanish Inquisition.

The original was a feature film; the sequel on Hulu will be a variety series, Variety reported on Monday. Brooks, who is 95, will executive-produce and write; joining him will be professional funny people Nick Kroll, Wanda Sykes, Ike Barinholtz, David Stassen and Kevin Salter. Production is set to begin in 2022.

Most of the original film’s cast, including Madeline Kahn, Dom DeLuise, Gregory Hines, Cloris Leachman and Sid Caesar, have died in the 40 years since it was released.

“I can’t wait to once more tell the real truth about all the phony baloney stories the world has been conned into believing are History!” Brooks told Variety.

---

The new series finally fulfills the teaser at the end of “Part I,” which promised a sequel that would cover “Hitler on Ice” and “Jews in Space.”

Yes, it is true that MTG's "space lasers" comment and her other nonsense is exactly that -- nonsense. Bullshit. Lies. The ravings of a lunatic.

However, something else is true: FACTS ARE IRRELEVANT. It does not matter that MTG is a raving loon. She is doing it because that's what her constituents -- you know, CONSTITUENTS, the people who vote for her -- are delighted when she pulls a stunt like this because she is "owning the libs" (or, in this case, owning the traitorous Liz Cheney).

So -- sad to say it doesn't matter what you and I say about MTG, she's playing to the people who will vote for her in 2022.

Yes, I suppose some here will roll their eyes but the way MTG goes to AOC door to.. don't remember exactly. And the way she screams at any "trigger."

And, yes, this should include the F**k words that have been discussed here before. Not in the House, please.

And then fine the ones who break the rules.

People may not appreciate how low this all is, but it's beyond putrid levels of disgust.

There's nothing laughable here, it's gross and frightening she has a platform for this type of hate.

she is not prepared to fight. I'm not sure I'd want to be on the bad side of Liz Cheney. She can be rather intimidating. Marjorie is very indiscriminate and reckless with her attacks and it could be her undoing. One can always hope anyway.

That's called a tantrum.

Margarine Traitor Gloop has the self-control of a four year old.

She's throwing a Tantrum at Rep. Cheney, who would be better off to just shrug, hand her a lollypop and walk away.

I wish the Media would start reporting like grown-ups instead of like Middle School class newsletter volunteers.
