The Congressional Gold Medal is Congress’s highest honor. According to Wiki: It is Congress’s highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions by individuals or institutions.
National appreciation, huh? Past winners include the crew of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, Bob Dole, Selma to Montgomery Marchers, Jack Nicklaus and some guy named George Washington.
Now Marjorie Taylor-Greene wants Kyle Rittenhouse added to that list for his major accomplishment, pulling the trigger three times and hitting three liberals protesting bad cops, putting two down forever.
According to the Washington Post [1]:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has introduced a bill to award the Congressional Gold Medal — the legislative branch’s highest honor — to Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who last week was found not guilty of homicide and other charges related to his fatal shooting of two men during a protest against police violence last year.
Greene introduced a bill [2] Tuesday to give Rittenhouse the award. While the bill’s full text was not immediately available, a summary [3]states that the measure would “award a Congressional Gold Medal to Kyle H. Rittenhouse, who protected the community of Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a Black Lives Matter (BLM) riot.”
The full text was not immediately available, likely because there is no one around who can write a full text attempting to justify giving this kid this medal, not without dying of shame in the process.
This is actually quite symbolic of the sickness that so infects the Right, like a prion disease, eating away at their brains. Two people are no longer alive for no bigger purpose than a kid who at least – in part – started the process.
But they were just “libtard” deaths. It is not like anything bad happened, just like when those libtard cops at the Capitol were hurt, they weren’t “real people.” The MAGAs celebrate aggression. They love their g*ns, their “toxic testosterone,” and triggering the libtards. Kyle did it all, all too literally.

And no one appreciates it more than guys like Trump and women like Marj.
People on Twitter were rightfully disgusted:
Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced a bill to award Kyle Rittenhouse a Congressional Gold Medal.
Marjorie Taylor Greene voted against awarding Capitol Police Officers Congressional Gold Medals.
Do I need to say anything else?
