Marjorie Taylor Greene Humiliates Herself AGAIN With Her Lack of Knowledge of American History — And This One’s a Doozy

Open mouth, insert both feet.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has officially taken the title from both Louie Gohmert and Paul Gosar as the cringiest member of Congress of all time.

That’s no easy feat: Gohmert was endorsed by the KKK, and Gosar’s own family made anti-Gosar campaign videos. But those tow idiots pale in comparison to Georgia’s rotten peach, Greene.

Sure, she’s a Trump suck-up of the highest order. But so are plenty of others.

Her problem is that she not only has no idea how government works, but that she has no grasp of American history, either. It seems like there should be some kind of civics test to get elected to Congress.

An example, you ask? Tell me what’s wrong with this tweet on X from July 5th:

The thing is, YOU shouldn’t be required to immediately know what’s wrong with it. You’re not a sitting member of Congress.

But here’s a hint  — that’s a list of 8 names (not “more than a dozen”), and yeah, if you can do basic math, you should have caught that. But I wouldn’t be mad at you for not knowing what else is wrong with it, unless you run for office.

Seventy-five percent of the names that she DID manage to come up with to fit her age frame for the tweet didn’t sign the Declaration of Independence at all. One of them wrote it, and the other one signed it bigger than anyone else did.

That’s right, only the first two were signers.

Later that day, MTG took a virtual beating on social media over the gaffe.

“STOP ELECTING STUPID PEOPLE,” one said. “Keep in mind ladies and gentlemen. That Marjorie Taylor Greene is a U.S. Representative. Whose salary is paid for by taxpayers.”

Another responded, “Claiming that the average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was 44 is NOT a flex when the Founders life expectancy was only 64 years.” If 44 years old was the AVERAGE age of the signers, not a single one of them lived to see the next century.

It’s not just this, though.

Marjorie is an unending saga of political idiocy. Over the weekend, she not only repeated the lie that Trump won Georgia in 2020, but she publicly hitched her wagon to professional blue-ribbon first-class douchebag Steve Bannon as he began his four-month prison sentence for defying a congressional subpoena.

Nobody deserves to be mocked more than MTG, and at this point, it almost seems like she’s begging for it.
