QAnon Congresswoman Says She's Being Targeted by Dems Because She's 'White' and a 'Woman'

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) became infamous for being one of the first supporters of QAnon to be elected to the House of Representatives.

The QAnon conspiracy theory revolves around the deranged fantasy that a covert network of satanic pedophile cannibals secretly controls the United States government and that former President Donald Trump was sent to expose them.


As the American public has learned in recent weeks, Greene's belief in QAnon was one of many delusions she publicly embraced prior to her election.

In addition to expressing support for the execution of her now-colleagues, Greene spouted conspiracy theories that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton murders children and drinks their blood, that the devastating California wildfires were sparked by Rothschild-owned space lasers, and that school shootings were coordinated by Democrats to weaken public support for the Second Amendment.

After refusals from Republican House leadership to hold Greene accountable for her unhinged diatribes, Democrats introduced House Resolution 72—which would strip Greene of her committee assignments on Education and Labor as well as the Budget Committee—and the House is set to vote on it Thursday.

Rather than denouncing this lunacy, Greene is blaming the all-too-common specter of "cancel culture," insisting that Democrats and the "bloodthirsty media" is out to get her.

She tweeted that this was because of her "identities and beliefs"—among them, her whiteness.

Claiming that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) would "pull every identity politics trick in the book" to save one of her members from rebuke, Greene said she was being targeted for being:

"White, Woman, Wife, Mother, Christian, Conservative, Business Owner"

Regardless of whether it was lost on Greene that Pelosi herself is at least five out of seven of these things, people scoffed that Greene listed "white" as a reason for the Democrats' measure.




People soon reminded her why she was actually facing accountability measures.





But though Greene faced backlash for the tweet, her statement—like the beliefs she amplifies—was praised by white nationalists for expressing "white positivity."




The House Rules Committee is currently debating H.R. 72.

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

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

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.
