I’m beginning to suspect that I may never write a story about Marjorie Taylor Greene where I’m not mocking her in some way. After all, Greene makes my job so easy. She’s always saying things that are patently ridiculous and sending unintentionally hilarious tweets peppered with the wrong words because she obviously never reads the “corrections” her smartphone suggests.
And for some reason, she’s always picking on LGBTQ people and getting things wrong.
Recently, for instance, Greene tried to insult White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by saying Jean-Pierre couldn’t possibly understand the baby formula shortage because she’s “married to a woman” and “doesn’t have children,” LGBTQNation [1] reports.
This is a mistake of Marjorie Taylor Greene proportions because the fact is, Jean-Pierre does in fact have a daughter.
Marge, Marge, Marge, don’t you know how to Google things? Really, you’re supposed to be a Republican Congresswoman, and while I realize this is for Georgia, and also realize that the South is the land of Republican stupidity — that comment is dumb even by these standards. Really Marge, for the sake of all the current crises we’re dealing with, please acquaint yourself with Google and Wikipedia at the very least.
She certainly hadn’t done any of that before hosting her MTBLive online broadcast. She played a clip from Wednesday’s press conference where a reporter asked Jean-Pierre about the baby formula shortage. Jean-Pierre said the Biden administration can “understand what parents are going through — caregivers, moms and dads, you know, grandparents. And we have — we have done — we have done — you know, we have done the work, and we’ll continue to do the work to make sure that families have safe baby formula so that they can feed their kids.”
So of course Greene responded, letting her ignorance hang out there for the world to see.
“She claims they’re doing the work every day,” Greene snarked. “Karine claims that they care about families and babies.”
“Karine claims that she understands, but she doesn’t have children, and I think, she’s married to a woman, so obviously she doesn’t really understand that. I don’t know if they even have children.”
Oops.
I would also like to ask if she’s so worried about the baby formula shortage, why did she vote against [2] bills that would have aided people dealing with this, mostly poor families of course? She was one of nine Republicans who voted against the Access To Baby Formula Act which would have made it easier for low-income mothers to obtain the baby formula they need. So not only is Greene ignorant, she’s also a major hypocrite.
Greene regularly shows us how ignorant she is, but it’s truly odd that she seems to think lesbians can’t have kids because they do [3] all the time — either through assisted reproductive technology (ART) and surrogacy or through adoption or foster care.
Greene is up for reelection in the 2022 midterms but fortunately, her Democratic challenger [4] Marcus Flowers has out-raised and out-spent her. Let’s hope her stint in Congress is soon to be wrapped up.
