The 2 Are Fighting For Attention From MAGA Media
I’m on several endorsement committees for various non-profits. One put together a busy program of interviews with a couple dozen candidates. Most of them were just horrible— conservative, clueless, corporate-oriented. There were, thank God, some good ones. Most of the good ones either failed in their primaries or were in gerrymandered districts that were never going to elect a Democrat. One, however, stood out because of her experience in the state legislature and her string, well-versed progressive approach to policy. That was Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride. She was endorsed unanimously by the ideologically diverse committee, the only candidate who was. And she won a seat.
This week, two worthless, rot-gut attention hounds, Marjorie Traitor Greene (R-GA) and Nancy Mace (R-SC) decided they had nothing better to do but attack McBride who will be the first openly transgender member Congress. McBride was elected student body president of American University in 2011 and came out in the college newspaper in 2012. Mace introduced a bill barring McBride from using women’s bathrooms in the Capitol, while Greene, said she would fight— as in beat up— McBride if she used a lady’s room.
Greene was in a feisty mood all day. Earlier she had threatened to out Republican colleagues if the Ethics Committee released their report on the investigation into statutory rape by hr pal Matt Gaetz. Sean Craig reported that the crazed Greene “made a sensational allegation that her Republican colleagues in Congress have covered up ‘sexual harassment and assault claims’ by paying off victims with taxpayer money. The MAGA diehard threw down the gauntlet in a tweet as GOP politicians expressed reservations about Trump’s nominee for attorney general, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). Gaetz was investigated by a congressional ethics panel that was told by a witness that they saw him having sex with a minor, and also explored allegations he used illegal drugs and took bribes. Some have called for the release of the panel’s report on Gaetz. Greene, however, said that if Republicans are ‘going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed,’ they should disclose all ethics report and claims, including one she said she filed but did not detail. Greene also called for the release of all records on the late high society sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, adding ‘there’s more’ and that ‘Epstein wasn’t/isn’t the only asset.’ She ended with a commitment to make public as many purported claims as possible: ‘If we’re going to dance, let’s all dance in the sunlight. I’ll make sure we do.’”
I asked one of the top GOP House staffers who told me that no one pays much attention to what she spews because everyone just thinks of her as “a raging conspiracy theorist from the bowels of QAnon. She doesn’t belong in Congress.” MTG also referred to McBride as “mentally ill,” a term Greene has heard aimed at herself for years.
MAGA Mike tried to defuse the Mace thing by saying there would be a bathroom for transgender women: “We’ll provide appropriate accommodation for every member of Congress.” He’s an idiot— and as narrow minded as Mace, who represents Charleston, which has a large, vibrant LGBTQ community.
Take a look at Sarah’s TED Talk. I haven’t found a Greene or a Mace TED Talk. I’ll keep looking in case the TED folks ever do one on bigotry and hatred:
neither was picked as a cabinet shill by their gawd and savior. How else they gonna get attention in this cycle of nominations?
maybe biden could give McBride SS protection. nah. pussies never do nuthin... but mug with the devil for the cameras.
