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.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Kid Rock Dragged After Offering Massive Discount To His MAGA Festival Due To Abysmal Ticket Sales

Musician Kid Rock has hitched his wagon to president Donald Trump for quite some time now, and it seems he too is in the "find out" stage of that particularly exercise in FAFO.

It seems that when the president you form your entire personality around craters to a catastrophic approval rating even for him, your ship starts to sink too.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
