Embattled Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene disavowed some of her past conspiracy-theory beliefs amid calls for her to be censured in the U.S. House of Representatives.

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene complained that she was “allowed” to believe several wild, racist and fantastical conspiracy theories on Thursday, before the House of Representatives voted on whether to strip her of her committee seats for her past and present activity on social media.

The rookie Republican from Georgia did not apologize for the many conspiracy theories she has backed on Facebook over the years, including the QAnon fantasy, an imagined “Jewish space laser,” and false claims that the 9/11 attack and several school shootings were faked. She also did not apologize for hounding school shooting survivors, pushing anti-Semitic hoaxes or supporting calls to execute Democrats, including some of her now-colleagues.

Instead, Greene blamed the media for her ignorance and lamented that she was allowed to believe certain ideas when she was simply asking “questions.”


“These are words of the past and they do not represent me,” she said.

“I was allowed to believe things that weren’t true, and I would ask questions about them and talk about them. And that is absolutely what I regret,” she said.

Sadly, it appears the (R)'s are going to let her keep her seat.

What a bizarre non-apology.

Keep in mind that is after coaching by Republican leadership and being provided with key talking points by staff.
Some if not all of that was a collaborative effort

And that was everything they could accomplish after that Herculean effort. Imagine where it started.

To be fair it probably IS NOT her fault. That being said there is a number of disqualifying factors that should keep you from holding office. Being bonkers is one. Should be one.

I dunno - from what I see it's increasingly looking like a basic requirement, at least for Republicans.

 

[nakedfrog]

Well, gosh, it sounds like exactly the sort of person who ought to be trusted with important decisions.

All that matters is if she can tow the party line, she doesn't make any decisions herself.

So GQP is a disease. I'd like to see a plan for how you are going to deal with it.

 

[hal2kilo]

So she's just going to be the GOPs court jester?

 

[MtnMan]

I'm sure she was told many times she is a stupid cun t... and her goal was to prove them right.

I like how she also never apologized for publicly endorsing the murder of her colleagues in that room.

yeah I heard a news clip where reporter asked her if what she said yesterday was an apology to Pelosi and she went all Karen on the reporter.

The one certainly does not preclude the either.

I think its already out there, in the public domain too, its called "the truth". This "alternative facts" thing has gone on for too long now.

Just waiting to see who’ll be the first deplorable here to equate Dems having to accept MTG’s personal beliefs with conservatives having to accept someone’s chosen gender identity or non-binary status.

Any takers???

Precisely. As was the letter just published by Trump to the Actor's Guild. Much of that was way above his intellect. The "Who Cares!" bit was him, though. POS.
