‘Patriot’ Marjorie Taylor Greene Made a Pretty Serious Mistake in Her Memorial Day Tweet and People Can’t Stop Laughing
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, our favorite three/four-toed weightlifting crazy person, sent out a Memorial Day message on Twitter…but she made a very serious and visible mistake which is odd for a woman who claims to be as patriotic as one can be.
So let’s take a look at Greene’s message and see if you can spot what’s missing or wrong:
On this solemn day, we honor the fallen soldiers who defended our nation’s values.
Their sacrifice serves as a powerful reminder that freedom is never free.
Let’s stand united in gratitude and remembrance. #MemorialDay #NeverForget pic.twitter.com/p4MzTAHELI

Hmmmm…as noted by Patriot Takes, a Twitter account that calls out right-wing hypocrisy and points out how dangerous the Republican party is becoming, pointed out that the flag has only 18 stars, which obviously is a big ol’ mistake, since our flag has 50 stars, representing our 50 states.

According to HuffPost, “our flag had 15 stars and 15 stripes at the end of the 18th and start of the 19th centuries. The addition of five states between 1797 and 1817 led to a flag with 20 stars and 13 stripes in 1818, which was quickly replaced by a succession of new flags as more states were admitted.
Antique American flag dealer Jeff Bridgman notes that “a tiny handful of 18 star flags exist,” which were created later to commemorate Louisiana’s statehood, given that it was the 18th state to join the union.”
As you’d imagine, Twitter was quick to give Marj a little history lesson:
Why only 18 stars? 🤔

Only 18 stars on the American flag. Marge needs to be canceled like Kap. https://t.co/GGsxhnqAzk

And of course there were people who pointed out other things about Greene, like that she’s evil and doesn’t belong in Congress:
Raise your hand if you think that Marjorie Taylor Greene should be removed from office immediately.

Our Nations values are acceptance, inclusion, honor & defending all humanity from tyranny, fact is Marj, you HATE anyone who is different than you. Jesus was different than you, he had dark skin, & he was a Jew, but you need to see him as a White Nationalist to love & obey, why?

Platitudes are fun. You voted against our living soldiers. Turn your back on them, eh?
MTG, you have no business working "For the People." You don't, you can't.
Give back the $183K PPP, not loan, you never needed, meant for struggling small businesses.

Honoring fallen soldiers?
Aren't you with Trump??
Trump doesn't like soldiers that have fallen…remember?
He was the ONLY president that did not lay flowers on the graves of our fallen soldiers.— Mary🌊💙🌊 (@mermaid53_60) May 29, 2023
Says the woman who voted for cutting 22% of veterans benefits money in an already underfunded medical system.

My father was a proud veteran who enlisted in the Army to fight fascism. How sad he would be if he were still alive to see what the party he once belonged to is doing to his beloved country. A good way to honor our fallen heroes would be to expel you & your pals from Congress.
