Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene deceptively claimed at a rally for former President Donald Trump in Warren, Michigan, on Saturday that Democrats are murdering Republicans.

"I'm not going to mince words with you all," Greene said. "Democrats want Republicans dead. They've already started the killings."
"We will take back our country from the communists who have stolen it and want us to disappear," she continued. "We will expose the unelected bureaucrats, the real enemies within, who have abused their power and have declared political warfare on the greatest president this country has ever had."

I can’t believe the amount of shit Biden got for his speech when these are the people he was talking about. Biden’s over here like, “ummm…uhhh…democracy is good actually, and uhh…people who don’t support democracy are bad,” and meanwhile MTG is acting as if the Democracy are systematically trying to kill GOP voters. You have to understand, people actually believe the garbage she says. There are people that went to that rally and went home terrified buying 18 more guns on their way back.
 
This is the kind of person that leads the way in things going sideways. Blanket statements like "Democrats want Republicans dead" is not only inaccurate, but really dangerous rhetoric that will lead to that kind of violence. She's grossly irresponsible for making these kind of statements. More importantly though, is she misrepresented the story she was citing.
 
Is she popular in her district?

Dangerous rhetoric is their bread and butter, you're talking of those who inspired the 1/6 Sedition.

The first amendment in action.
She needs to be faced with a long lineup of Democrats suing her for slanderous defamation.

Trump made it his adminstration's priority to keep his followers as angry as possible. This cretinous acolyte needs to have it pointed out to her that the strategy didnt work out well for The Donald.
 
Accusation in a Mirror is one of the most significant indicators of a fascist movement and is used to attempt to indicate the start of genocidal movements as a leading indicator. The tactic has been identified in every genocide committed in modern history. MTG is a fascist agent promoting the indiscriminate killing of democrats.

The basic idea of AiM is deceptively simple: propagandists must “impute to enemies exactly what they and their own party are planning to do.”9 In other words, AiM is a rhetorical practice in which one falsely accuses one’s enemies of conducting, plotting, or desiring to commit precisely the same transgressions that one plans to commit against them. For example, if one plans to kill one’s adversaries by drowning them in a particular river, then one should accuse one’s adversaries of plotting precisely the same crime. As a result, one will accuse one’s enemies of doing the same thing despite their plans.10 It is similar to a false anticipatory tu quoque: before one’s enemies accuse one truthfully, one accuses them falsely of the same misdeed.11

...

Despite its counter-intuitive nature, AiM has proven to be one of the central mechanisms by which genocidaires publicly and directly incite genocide, in part because it turns out to be quite effective. Once AiM’s structure and functions are understood, its pervasive and efficacious presence can be discerned not only in mass-murder but also in a host of lesser persecutions. These qualities can make AiM an indispensable tool for identifying and prosecuting incitement.

Yeah, fascists ALWAYS believe their actions are defensive. The Nazis believed they were defending my themselves from the Jews. Russia believes they are defending themselves from NATO and they had to invade Ukraine. White Supremacists think that minorities are trying to erase them so any action against minorities is self defense. They always think they are the ones under attack and are simply retaliating. That’s always how it is framed.

Imagine if right-wing lunatics shot Chuck Schumer and attempted to assasinate Kagan - you guys would be going crazy.

There's an article in the NYT this weekend about the danger politicians are facing these days, driven in no small part by rhetoric from the politicians themselves.

And it's not just Democrats, but Republicans who are needing extra security.

Someone needs to tell MTG to tone it down.

Yes this is typically how fascist propaganda works. Cherry pick one or two isolated incidents to demonize an entire group of people. One or two lunatics go off the deep end and your response is "see what those democrats are doing they really are trying to kill us!" Which is obviously stupid, but also an effective fascist propaganda technique for those susceptible to its indoctrination.

Spot on!

The same guys, including this bi*ch, are spreading the "replacement" theory, so they need such rhetoric.

Imagine that a non-political FBI foiling an assassination attempt on a conservative judge.

Thanks for showing us how unbiased the FBI is.

She needs to go back to her cave. Perhaps she should take Ms Waters with her to avoid confrontation altogether.

This is not true.

You have to keep in mind that MTG is a KKK member, and she is NEVER to be believed.

we already had right-wing jackasses do 1/6 and try to do Whitmer. For doing their damn jobs.

Oh, we already had right wing lunatics trying to murder everyone up to and including FBI agents, not to mention the January 6th rampage.
 
Flower boy is trying to justify made up generalized statements on political killings.


Imagine that.
 
Dangerous lunatics spreading violent rhetoric and misinformation is nothing new in politics. What's unique here is that Republicans, whether through fearful silence or an enthusiastic embrace of this propaganda have given Trumpist extremists their consent to drive the narrative of their party.
