  1. He could be a homeless heroin addict whose only prior interaction with the U.S. government was deliberately taking a shit on the flag during a protest and he’d still be more of a net positive to the U.S. than Greene

  5. So it’s come to police violence (tazing) if you raise your voice towards a Republican lawmaker and refuse to leave?

    What a world.

  6. She looks so happy and proud seeing these people get tasered. A real person of God!

  7. Let Mark Cheatham, Police Chief, know how you feel! mcheatham@acworth-ga.gov

    Let them know this jackboot gestapo bullshit doesn’t fly in America

    PSA – Protonmail is a *GREAT* nearly untraceable email service…

  9. “At least one was cited for use of vulgar language” is this what free speech looks like?

  10. Dude is black. Idk what he was thinking. As a fellow black person, they’re always gonna make an example out of us. I respect him standing up though

  11. These MAGAt’s forget that their constituents are not just those who voted for them. Those in your district who oppose you are still your responsibility.

  12. This is funny to me. Republicans spent the last 20 years telling vets that they own more of this country than the rest of us because of their service. Now the vets have come to claim their debt and they get stun-gun treatment. These people are truly fools. But don’t stop there, there’s a whole generation of MAGA that going to learn real quick that they don’t own jack shit either.

  13. Apparently the only thing more shocking than Marjorie Taylor Greene’s views is the fact that people still attend her town halls.

  14. Vets are showing up! But there are not enough of us… the People Are our last check and it is time to rise!

  15. Literally invited by her own staff…. but he’s a “paid protester”

    lol the suckers who buy this shit are not gonna do well in this new world we’re forming.

  16. Don’t elect utter morons into office. This is what you get.

  17. We have two big problems in our country: money grubbing politicians and overly violent police. This example combines them. Thank you for highlighting it.

  19. Wow, people yelled at her. Call out the national guard.

    Hmm, is this the same person who yelled at Biden during the SOTU?

    How disrespectful

  20. > As soon as the Congresswoman began her presentation, several members of the audience became disruptive and created an **imminent public safety threat** for all in attendance

    Exactly what threat did they make? What weapons were they carrying? What pushing and shoving did they engage in?

    Fuck the MAGANAZIs.

  21. Two men physically assaulted a democratic representative yesterday and were allowed to walk away… this dude raised his voice and got tazed?

  24. That’s the typical thanks veterans get from elected republicans. These fucking politicians love hiding behind militarism and patriotism while defunding the VA and leaving them out to dry. Fucking monsters

  25. At the very beginning, a man simply yelled “Boo” and the gazpacho (MTG’s term) descended upon him within seconds and physically hauled him away.

  26. She deserves all the smoke, but this is unfortunately what she wanted out of the town hall. The town hall was conducted in the newly redrawn part of her district which used to be all rural north Georgia, and now includes part of suburban Atlanta Cobb County.

    Mike Johnson has told the Republicans to just stop doing town halls because they are all getting yelled at about the broad cuts and job losses, but Marjorie Trailertrash Queen WANTED a big protest so that it could be shut down by the cops with a show of brute force, because that’s what she thinks strength is.

  27. From the woman who yelled at the president during the state of the union address.

  28. The MAGA Strategy:

    D.A.R.V.O (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender)

    …and they use the Narcissist’s Prayer to do this:

    *That didn’t happen.*

    *And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.*

    *And if it was, that’s not a big deal.*

    *And if it is, that’s not my fault.*

    *And if it was, I didn’t mean it.*

    *And if I did, you deserved it.*

  29. Two men tasered and several others violently removed and MTG stands up and claims that “This is a **peaceful** town hall”.

  31. Nobody respects veterans more then MAGA 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🙃🙃😵‍💫

  32. He could be a medal of honor winner, all conservatives see is a black man who needs to be put down

  33. Obviously, the Republicans don’t know what a “town hall” is – they come to demand obedience and acceptance of anything they have to say – it’s not a place for the exchange of viewpoints. Just a legal “shooting gallery” if you have anything to say in response.

  34. Who can forget Marjorie Taylor Greene screaming at Biden and laughing about it during actual government sessions? But someone she represents is not allowed to speak his mind in a forum specifically designed for her constituents to speak their mind.

  35. >Only pre-registered attendees who live in Greene’s district were allowed to enter. IDs were checked against a sign-up list, and the event location was kept private until registration was confirmed.

    That’s one way to ensure a free and open government.

    Are town halls supposed to be a private events?

  36. Meanwhile, this bleach blonde bad built blight on humanity can scream at and harass a survivor of a mass shooting or broadcast images of a private citizen’s genitalia to her colleagues in the workplace and get away with it. America, you gotta be fucking kidding me.

  37. Republicans are never beating the “hates veterans” allegations.

  38. Town halls are absolutely appropriate places to protest.

  39. I don’t like that they call it ‘stunned’ – he was tased.

  40. If you didn’t click on the video, please do, it’s shocking and puts on display the fascism that is taking hold.

    Some of my takeaways:

    The only way to attend this “town hall” was to pre-register. You have to live in Greene’s district and check in with a photo IDs. The event location was kept private until registration was confirmed. That’s the type of relationship she has with the general public.

    The people cheering while members of the audience were dragged away and tased (multiple people, not just the one in the headline). Most of the ones on the receiving end are Black, most cheering are white. It felt like an old-school lynching.

    The ratio of law enforcement to audience members. I’d say it’s about 1:5. The first guy who gets dragged out has about 8 of them on him, while people film the whole thing. Very authoritarian.

    Her comments about Democrats rioting and being the “party of violence”. She has no sense of irony and no shame. She refers to Biden’s prosecution of the J6ers as a bad thing (they were “peaceful protestors” in her view). Also her fear mongering that “terrorists” and “cartels” are operating “in the interior”, not just at the border, so hunting down people (and presumably disappearing them), the way the dissenters at the meeting are is what we should all get used to.

    Her “prayers” for Governor Shapiro’s family after she has stoked anti-Semitism and consipiracy theories at every turn. She takes zero responsibility.

    It’s just sick. We have to get back to the rule of law.

  41. >”He is an independent voter and, contrary to Congresswoman Greene’s statements, was not compensated for attending the town hall or affiliated in any way with the Democratic Party,” Rodriguez said. “Instead, he was invited by the congresswoman’s staff to attend and register for the event.”

    Every accusation is a confession lol. The right yells and screams about Democrats paying protesters yet they themselves invite people just to throw them out.
