She forgets
Majorie Taylor Greene says she doesn’t remember and besides lots of people used her Facebook account to say things so it could have been anyone.
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia insisted under oath that she does not remember expressing support for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s execution in 2019.
She’s busy. She can’t remember every little thing.
Lawyers from Free Speech for the People, the group challenging Greene’s candidacy, presented the congresswoman with a print-out of a CNN article that documented Greene’s prior support for political violence against some Democrats.
“She’s a traitor to our country, she’s guilty of treason,” Greene said of Pelosi in a 2019 Facebook video, according to CNN. “She took an oath to protect American citizens and uphold our laws. And she gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally invade our land. That’s what treason is. And by our law representatives and senators can be kicked out and no longer serve in our government. And it’s, uh, it’s a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason.”
But asked about those comments at the hearing on Friday, Greene insisted she had no recollection of making those remarks.
“According to this CNN article I did,” she quipped when asked repeatedly by both the lawyers and the judge presiding over the hearing. “I don’t recall saying all of this, but I do recall having said this about the — I totally disagree with the border issue.”

“I’ve had many people manage my social media account over the years, I have no idea who liked that,” she insisted. “I do not know.”
So she’s had many people impersonate her on Facebook by “managing” her account? And she’s let them do it? That seems pretty stupid.
Are there any makeup artists who can do before and after brains? She could do with a massive brain makeover.
Brain transplant I’d say. Shouldn’t be too hard to find one better than the model she’s been stuck with so far.
The makeover joke refers back to the before and after photos in the previous post.
Making a statement that was recorded on VIDEO is completely different from some intern posting a tweet on your account. Once someone explains this to her, she’ll probably claim it was some “deepfake” attempt to dicredit her. Never mind that it aligns perfectly with everything she’s ever said.
So, y’all would call me out if I did something like that, wouldn’t you?
I just don’t remember everything, but I might have treasoned once or twice. Somnambulistically, of course.
That little blue check-mark on twitter is there for a reason: it represents the notion that the person behind the tweets is indeed verified to be the person you think it is. Of course, we’re all aware that politicians and celebrities deem themselves to be so very important that they require staff to “manage” their social media, but that should not include blindly allowing those staffers to tweet things in their name that are contrary to what they actually think, at least if they have any sense of ethics. Of course, we know all about MTG’s sense of ethics, or lack thereof.
