Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s conspiracy theories, vitriolic language, and xenophobia have made her a darling of the right and a pariah on the left—and now, she’s gained admiration from Russian state television.

Greene’s attempts to block aid to Ukraine, her criticisms of NATO, and her beliefs that the United States should withdraw from the alliance have drawn plaudits from TV hosts in Russia, The Daily Beast reported Friday.

    I’m not sure she’s a literal traitor but she is definitely a useful idiot.

        Exactly. I think it’s just in her own short term interest, and that happens to align with foreign governments.

            That’s definitely not my intention. I agree that her actions are fucking mental.

            I don’t think it’s a cover to be stupid and malicious when you don’t need to be. She’s obviously a ghoul, just the dumbest one I’ve ever heard of

      If she is promoting Kremlin propaganda, she is a traitor, IMHO. Unfortunately, she is likely protected under the first amendment.

      She is so fucking stupid, she probably isn’t getting paid to say the things she does. People like that already have a twisted sense of patriotism so she likely believes the horseshit she spews.

        I understand that viewpoint, and I’m not saying she’s any less of a problem just because I’m not willing to state that she’s a literal traitor. She’s obviously doing what she’s doing, regardless of her reasons.

          Being a traitor an odd thing to try and define in this case. She really couldn’t be considered the ringleader in distributing misinformation and we probably can’t get proof of any bribery. If anything, she is a victim of state sponsored propaganda. “Victim” is probably too strong of a word here, but it’s possible.

          Regardless, the Dunning-Kruger effect is in full force with that one. If she is commiting crimes, she probably isn’t aware of it.

          I think our differences in views can be explained by my belief that propaganda is a legitimate weapon. (That could probably be debated until the end of time, unfortunately.)

            I do also believe that propaganda is a weapon. I just don’t know whether she’s doing what she’s doing in the service of anything but her own stupidity. There is, however, no questioning the fact that whatever the case she is useful to foreign interests. Something which shouldn’t be taken lightly no matter what category we put her into.

        This is the Congressional Oath of Office she would have had to take at swearing in:

        “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

    Its so incredibly obvious that Putin supports everything that will weaken USA/EU/NATO-“The West” in the long run, economically, politically, you name it. Everything that will disassemble these systems, make them more vulnerable to corruption, reduces the trust people have in them. How the hell do these ultra-“patriotic” right wingers not see this while Putin is so clear and outspoken about it?

        The Neanderthal is genuinely more attractive. No wonder humans interbred with them. “Hey, gurl. You got a brow ridge that won’t quit.”

          I think MTG is more repellant than that nasty garbage juice that collects at the bottom of a public trash bin on a hot day, BUT it’s not any woman’s responsibility to be attractive in order to be respected. There are plenty of reasons to dislike her.

          And now I have to hate myself for a little while for defending Moron Troglodyte Grundleberry.

    Haha, that was my guess even I saw the synopsis up there.

    I’ve been saying the repubs are a fifth column for many, many years - even before Dozo the Clown came along and brought terrorists like Marj along with him. Even before they started using Putin shirtless on a horse as avatars (unironically).

    And now it’s right out there in the open. The cons HATE this country. Many have been able to see this for decades; now there is no hiding it.
