Marjorie Taylor Greene just dug an even deeper hole for herself

Marjorie Taylor Greene won her election in November 2020 by default. Although Georgiaโ€™s 14th congressional district is heavily Republican, itโ€™s hard to know what percentage of the vote Greene would have received had she not had the benefit of running unopposed. Thatโ€™s right โ€“ GA-14 was going to get Greene as their representative in Congress whether they wanted her or not. Given that demographics are favorable to Republicans in that district, Greene probably would have won the election anyway, but she certainly canโ€™t claim to have received a mandate.

The electorate in her district may have gotten more absurdity than it can handle. Now that sheโ€™s in Congress, it turns out Rep. Greene just canโ€™t stop with the nonsense. Sheโ€™s been in Congress all of three weeks, but even the Republicans are already tiring of her antics. Not only is Rep. Greene foolishly rash, her rhetoric and shenanigans are harmful to our democracy and to veracity. Greene has promoted the Big Lie, is an adherent of the cult-like QAnon, and this week we were reminded that she called the murders of children at Sandy Hook a โ€œfalse flag.โ€ Georgia did a lot right in statewide elections in 2020, including voting for President Biden and Senators Warnock and Ossoff. But letting Greene get past the primaries in GA-14 was a mistake.

Even before President Bidenโ€™s inauguration, Greene announced that she would file articles of impeachment against him. She declared sheโ€™d filed the articles, but later said she hadnโ€™t actually done so because she โ€œthought it would be a lot easier than it is.โ€ Rep. Greeneโ€™s strategy is unclear, and itโ€™s highly unlikely she even has one. But what is clear is that Greene is unhinged and unfit to serve in Congress.

This is the fight of our lives. Trump and his unelected henchmen are actively to destroy our government, our democracy, and our way of life. We only have one choice, and that's to fight back as loudly and aggressively as possible.
