Marjorie Taylor Greene Brags That She ‘Just Got Off the Phone’ With Trump and Their Convo Was INSANE

This actually sounds true for once.

By

Georgia extremist Marjorie Taylor Greene pops up in the news a lot more frequently than any of us are comfortable with. Unfortunately, as one of the craziest and most dangerous members of the GOP, it’s imperative that we keep track of what she’s up to.

Lucky for us, she makes it easy by tweeting every insane thought that rattles around her brainpan.

Monday afternoon, in a seemingly unending series of tweets, Greene detailed a phone call she purportedly had with Donald Trump that covered a vast array of topics. They talked about COVID, the midterms, China, vaccines, mandates, oil prices, Afghanistan, and even the January 6th riots at the Capitol, all of which both of them hold views on far outside the mainstream.

But one aspect of the conversation stuck out: Who and what is to blame for Republicans’ current political troubles. Since it couldn’t possibly be extremists like her or QAnon believers or antivaxxers, it has to be someone or something inside the Republican establishment. Greene and Trump decided on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

I told him I’m sick and tired of weak pathetic Republicans who won’t fight hard against the Democrats Communist agenda. I told him I need strong courageous people to help me in Congress.

I told President Trump that RINO’s like Mitch McConnell are to blame for all of our problems. He agrees. RINO’s are the worst! I told him Republicans in the Senate are approving all of Biden’s picks in record speed and it’s nauseating. They fought Trump’s picks nonstop.

Some people call Republicans who understand how to compromise reasonable. And the wildest part about it is that McConnell is still absolutely extreme in his conservative views. He just hasn’t been extreme enough to satisfy people like Trump, who has been publicly angry with Mitch for months, or the crazies in the Freedom Caucus like Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Here’s the full conversation as detailed by MTG and it’s as crazy as she is:
