Recently the news media has been reporting statements made by the Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, where she is saying that a new Republican congresswoman from Georgia Marjorie Taylor Greene should be removed due to anti-Muslim and violent statements that she has made.
Greene has said, “anyone that is a Muslim that believes in Sharia law does not belong in [the US] government,” and she also strangely claimed that a law states that Muslim representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib must be sworn in once again using Bibles rather than Qurans, however the Constitution actually states, “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”
Greene is alleged to be supportive of threats of violence against other politicians, such as Nancy Pelosi, where she allegedly “liked” a comment advocating “a bullet to the head” for her, according to a CNN screenshot, and in April 2018 she apparently advocated for hanging Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
Of course I’m not a fan of Ilhan Omar or the rest of the “Squad” or the Democrats in general, but people should be careful and not support Marjorie Taylor Greene as she is almost certainly “controlled opposition” who has been put in place by the political Establishment to de-ligitimaze their opposition. It is essentially an impossibility that the Republicans would endorse anyone such as her who is actually “genuine,” so people should expect her to continue to behave in a ways that ultimately will cause harm to conservative and libertarian agendas, and to the country in general. People who are “controlled opposition” can cause much more damage than people who are simply opposed to a particular view in a straightforward manner.
The Wikiedia page for Greene explains that she espouses various “conspiratorial”-type views (with many of them being legitimate but others not, such as the “QAnon” movement that distracted many activists during Trump’s presidency.)
This video shows how Greene is being used as an excuse to portrait people who are opposed to the political Establishment as “domestic terrorists.”
The political Establishment is looking for whatever excuse that they can find to label their opposition as terrorists, and they have conveniently found that in Greene, which I’m sure is not an accident.
The Department of Homeland Security has recently issued a bulletin warning of potential violence coming from “right-wing extremists,” but not coming from leftist groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter who are actually more significant threats.
Being a Congresswoman, Greene is in a position of much potential influence, and her engaging in any sorts of threats of violence is absolutely unnecessary and also completely self-defeating. Perhaps she can be pressured to “clean up her act” if enough of her supporters call for it.
