New Marjorie Video Erupts: Thankful for January 6th and ‘I Wish We Had More White People Like You in Our Country’

By

You are known by the company you keep.

You are what you love, not who loves you.

Just two well-known sayings above, ones that seem particularly applicable to the newest horrific Marjorie Taylor-Greene video to emerge. This one, however, indicts her with far more specificity, and it doesn’t include any laughable but hurtful conspiracy theories.

Katie Hopkins is a very open and notorious racist-xenophobe from the United Kingdom. Notably, she was also a contestant on The Apprentice as an entry into public life. In the dry words of Wiki, she’s had quite the career since:

Hopkins’ social media presence and outspoken views, especially on UK politics, social class, obesity, migrants and race, have attracted controversy, criticism, media scrutiny, legal issues, protests and petitions. She has been accused of racism for her comments about migrants …

… She has been described as a “far-right political commentator”.Hopkins was permanently suspended from Twitter in June 2020 for what the company described as “violations of our hateful conduct policy”, she joined Parler afterwards.

Obviously, it will not come as a shock that Katie supports all things MAGA. Interesting that all the racists gravitate with extra exuberance into the MAGA movement, is it not? But we’re not supposed to say that all MAGAs are racist. At this point, they’re all indicted if they’ve stayed.

No one has “stayed” with the commitment Marjorie Taylor-Greene exhibits. We have already published video of her strange emergence from the White House in late December 2020, in which she proudly proclaims that the meeting was to plan January 6th.

Now, below, we have video from the day after January 6th, the day after the country put down an insurrection and a coup, to the horror of the vast majority of Americans. On the day after the attempted coup, Marjorie Taylor-Greene is seen saying that she has no regrets, that they had to do what they had to do, including – apparently – the death of a Capitol Police officer and severe injuries to many others.

Oh, and she also, out of nowhere, says to bigot Katie Hopkins, “I wish we had more white people like you in our country.” Such a statement would have once led to her immediate expulsion from the party. Indeed, in that comment, she said more than anything Steve King ever dreamed of saying.

It is just one more stick of dynamite in the bomb that is Marjorie Taylor-Greene:

Then this one:

You are known by the company you keep, by what you love, and the words that represent your deepest convictions. Why Marj’s words aren’t destroying her can only be explained with one particular word. “MAGA.”

Peace, y’all
