Far-right Congresswoman and prominent conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has routinely encouraged violence among her supporters.

Framing herself as a Washington outsider with undying loyalty to former President Donald Trump, Greene has suggested shooting volunteers who go door-to-door with vaccine information and, before her election, expressed support for the execution of her now colleagues. She's advocated for a so-called "nonviolent" Capitol rioter who was caught on video assaulting a Capitol police officer.


Currently, the nation is watching the murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenage vigilante who shot three people with an AR-15 during unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake by police.

Predictably, Greene has repeatedly praised Rittenhouse and called for his acquittal.

And in a bizarre Sunday tweet, Greene called on her Twitter followers to take a page from Rittenhouse's book and buy an AR-15.

Greene suggested that AR-15s—which are designed to kill as many people as rapidly as possible—are equal to any other tool used to kill people. She also boasted that AR-15s are easy to hold "especially for women."

People surmised that Marjorie Taylor Greene was once again tacitly condoning violence.





But Greene's supporters applauded the message.




Greene, who says she needs an AR-15 to protect herself and her family, remains unvaccinated and refuses to wear a mask on the House floor.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
