Marjorie Taylor Greene Humiliates Herself When She Once Again Tries to ‘Own the Libs’ and Fails Miserably
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) will be facing her first reelection primary on Tuesday, and according to Queerty, it’s likely she’ll secure the GOP nomination for her seat (bleah), even though, without a doubt, she’s one of the most heavily-criticized members of the House of Representatives.
As is typical for Greene who seems to spend more time on Twitter as opposed to actually doing her job, she’s littering the platform with her usual nonsense. According to Queerty’s Dan Tracer, “if she was competing with herself to see just how dumb her tweets can get, this one about baby formula may have clinched the race.”
In that particular tweet, Greene attacked the state of California, trying to make a point about the baby formula shortage that’s gripping the country right now, and her ill-thought-out attempt went sideways. Especially since she has an infamous habit of mixing words like “gazpacho” and “Gestapo.” This time she improved on that stupidity by mixing “censor” and “sensor.”
“If this was California you could steal baby formula up to $900 worth with no consequences, but in Georgia where we respect law and order, there are now security censors [sic] on the very few cans of baby formula that can be found.” She accompanied that witticism with a photo of a can of baby formula and a security sensor.

Well, ain’t that just typical Marj? She was probably referring to California’s Proposition 47, which raised the threshold for felony theft to $950. Perhaps she forgot this, or more likely never knew it, but her very own beloved state has a felony threshold that’s considerably higher — having raised that threshold from $500 to $1500 in 2021.

“The attempted dis at those chaotic, California liberals makes even less sense when you break down the logic in her statement. If a store thinks it needs to place security tags on baby formula to prevent theft, that implies there are citizens who don’t “respect law and order.”
Twitter users also had some thoughts.
Censor: what I wish Twitter would do to your account
Sensor: a way to monitor for theft

Georgia has an even higher felony threshold- $1500. It’s been on the books since 2012. If you were an informed citizen that actually cared about the area you represent, you’d know that.
And if Georgians “respect law & order” so much, than why the need for security protectors?!?— Dusty Drifter (@DustyDrifter1) May 24, 2022
If the people in Georgia are all "law and order", you shouldn't need theft prevention devices.

then why did you vote against the bill aimed at replenishing the supply?
— Robert Garza (@rbgarz) May 23, 2022
According to Ga. Code §§ 16-8-12; 17-10-3, -8 (2020), anything under $1,500 in your state is considered a misdemeanor. It sounds like California holds people accountable with felony charges for a much lower amount. You may want to check your state laws before complaining.

But…..but……
Didn’t you vote AGAINST the bill that would have provided baby formula?
I’ll wait….

#PSA If you're trying to dunk on CA from GA about CA's $950 felony theft threshold (anything below still qualifies as a misdemeanor), all while not realizing GA's is $1,500 (amongst the highest in the country), you might not know what you're talking about.
