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 [1], 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:
1. I just got off the phone with my favorite President of all time, Donald J. Trump.
We discussed many issues, people, races in ‘22 as well as vaccines and mandates.
We discussed #COVID19 [2], how awful the virus from China has been, and how horribly it’s been politicized.

2. I have President Trump’s permission to tell you all that he is 100% AGAINST the mandates, but he still encourages everyone to get the vaccine and booster.
That is his position.
He also said if he was President he would never mandate the vaccines, and no one would be fired.

3. The key thing to remember is where #COVID19 [2] came from.
China!
We should be holding those who made the virus accountable, not fighting one another.
And protecting our freedoms while promoting life saving treatments, and giving the vaccines to those who want it.
Not forced.

4. For everyone that criticizes Pres Trump about when covid started with shoulda’s coulda’s and woulda’s, I think he and his administration did the best they could.
The virus was brand new and we’d never seen anything like it.
Biden deserves the criticism.
He has no excuses.

6. I told Pres Trump that it makes me sick how America is no longer respected in the world because of the weakness occupying the White House.
He told me:
He would have NEVER abandoned Americans in Afghanistan, allowed 13 service members needlessly die, or armed the Taliban.

8. We discussed China.
President Trump put tariffs on China against many people’s criticism and it was working!
Now Biden is handing Americans over to full dependency on the very enemy who sent us the deadly virus that’s now politicized to control us all.
There are reasons…

10. We discussed the J6 Unselect Committee, as he rightly calls it, because it’s nothing but a committee of Pelosi Democrats and Republican picks were rejected.
It’s just another scam and political witch hunt with no credibility just like the Russia hoax.

12. President Trump is very concerned about the border and the future of America.
He says tens of millions are going to be in our country who don’t belong because of the Democrats, and some of them will be very bad people who will do horrible things.
He said it must be stopped!

14. 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.
— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) December 27, 2021 [11]
15. I also told President Trump that the people are tired of investigations that do nothing and hold no one accountable.
They want a plan and they want action that saves our country and puts Americans first!
Enough of the talk.
He totally agrees with that too. 😊
