Embattled Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Matt Gaetz of Florida received high praise on a recent episode of Steve Bannon's Real America's Voice War Room.
While any endorsement is generally welcome during an election year, the source and the reason raised more eyebrows than cheers.
Noor bin Ladin—the Swiss national niece of Osama bin Laden—cited the GOP Representatives' support of January 6 insurrectionists as worthy of her admiration. The 35-year-old has previously praised former Republican President Donald Trump and the QAnon conspiracy theories.
You can watch bin Ladin's interview with Bannon here:
Just when you thought things couldn\u2019t get any more horrendous, here\u2019s Steve Bannon interviewing Osama bin Laden\u2019s niece who is just positively gushing over Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, & Ron Johnson.pic.twitter.com/qdAeWnx36z— The USA Singers (@The USA Singers) 1649297095

Bin Ladin—who is not a United States citizen nor resident—referred to the Capitol rioters as...
"Patriots who are being smeared and crushed by the media, by the Department of Justice."
...and the Biden administration as:
"the regime."
After claiming the DoJ had been weaponized to quash dissent against "the regime," bin Ladin said:
"This is traitor level, in my opinion, that those who are supposed to represent the citizens are failing."
She went on to heap praise upon supporters of the insurrection, stating:
"We cаn be grаteful for Representаtives like Mаrjorie Tаylor Greene, Rep. Mаtt Gаetz, аnd Rep. Ron Johnson, who аre аmong the few who аre defending аnd speаking out аbout these politicаl prisoners."
Gratitude was not the reaction people had to bin Ladin's interview, the insurrectionists nor their GOP supporters.
“Upstanding American citizens”. We sure have a different definition of who’s “upstanding”. Those violent rioters were not simply displaying decent. They wanted to overthrow the government. Is she an American? Why is Osama Bin Laden’s niece allowed anywhere in the US? pic.twitter.com/cu2Xp5elK3

She wants to see America burn. Of course she endorses those clowns. Chaos, confusing, lib-con fighting. It's what she wants

Bannon was a target for internet ire as well in the wake of his bin Ladin interview.
Bannon is a crook, liar and best friends with crazy psycho Trump! What more can one expect? He should be in jail along with Trump! Does it get any worse than this??

It seems he is teasing the DOJ and Congress daring them to yank him into incarceration or testifying before Congress before he is scheduled to do so. Unfortunately it won't happen.

Isn't he under house arrest (or something) for refusing to testify before the House Select Committee? (Reminds me of weeds that keep popping up no matter what type of weed killer you use.)

In 2020 Noor bin Ladin made her first appeal to United States' media via Rupert Murdoch's New York Post to endorse former Republican President Donald Trump. Bin Ladin claimed only Trump could stop "another 9/11."
Her personal website and social media accounts are filled with QAnon conspiracy theory memes, right-wing United States political rhetoric and conservative propaganda.
Bin Ladin resides in Geneva, Switzerland where she was raised by her mother. She is the daughter of Osama bin Laden's older half-brother Yeslam bin Ladin and has never lived in the United States but claims she and her mother visited several times a year prior to the 9/11 terrorist attacks orchestrated by her uncle.
