I’m not impressed with many people, and I’m only impressed at all very rarely, especially if they’re on the “right.” Candace Owens never did anything for me, struck me as an opportunist and grifter from the jump. And Marjorie Taylor Greene? Is there anyone who embodies that grift idea more than her?
Vladimir Lenin purportedly referred to progressives in the West as “useful idiots” when it came to spreading communism. I don’t know how useful they were, but they certainly were idiots. The concept of both continues, and MTG falls firmly into both.
You would think Greene would be aware of the fact that the very same people who spent years attacking her are now fighting to get her on their shows so they can drool all over her. The Leftist media always embraces Republicans who fire down their own trench. John McCain was only popular when he was attacking other Republicans. When he was the GOP nominee in 2008, he was every bit the “Hitler” Democrats call every other Republican.
You’d think everyone would know the playbook by now, yet Marjorie Taylor Greene does not seem to.
As she is resigning from Congress today (after staying just long enough to qualify for the minimum pension – personally, I wish the Republicans had expelled her when she announced she was resigning, preventing her from getting a pension, as punishment for being a quitter and screwing over her constituents who now have to cover the costs of a special election), the waiting arms of the hags on The View will greet her on Wednesday.
The Left will give her one last tour to attack President Donald Trump before tossing her onto the pile of former Republicans discarded like sexually abused tube socks in a teenage boy’s laundry basket. Sure, they’ll drag Marjorie Taylor Greene out every once in a while, both for a bit of variety and to keep her on the hook, but they won’t ever fully embrace her.
There are reports that she’s under consideration to join the cast of The View, but why would they? They already have 2 phony conservatives on staff – one is mildly attractive till you hear her voice and the other is an Ozempic cautionary tale where they learned that the weight wasn’t the reason they were unattractive – they don’t need her. CNN already has all the Democrat-voting former GOP Members of Congress that its limited audience will tolerate, especially as long as they have Scott Jennings on the payroll. And MS Now has the ultimate sell-outs in Michael Steele and George Conway, so they’re full on both frauds and physically unattractive people.
There simply is not a natural home for Marjorie Taylor Greene. News Nation isn’t going to take her, Fox is already pretending she doesn’t exist and Newsmax isn’t going to alienate the audience they’ve worked hard to seduce. Where would she go?
The Leftist media is the only place that would have her but, but on top of everything else, she’s not physically attractive – in a world of high-definition television, Marjorie Taylor Greene does not make the cut for a paycheck.
Greene will serve in one beneficial way for other Republicans: as a cautionary tale. Sure, she’ll get a book deal, but it won’t sell. Why would anyone want to pay to read about what they didn’t want to hear about for free?
As she leaves, the best thing everyone can do is ignore her. She brought nothing to the table, added little value and squandered that the second her ego was popped by the reality that she was not popular enough to win a statewide election in Georgia. Turns out any moron can get a big social media following by appearing on TV and making cracks about Democrats, but to win statewide elections, voters want you to have actually accomplished things or at least have a vision for what you want to do.
That was Marjorie Taylor Greene’s undoing – the doing part. There’s always a need for incendiary bomb throwers in politics, but voters don’t promote those people. And there is always a demand for Republicans attacking other Republicans in the Left-wing corporate media, but she seems to have forgotten the fact that people do not marry their booty call. Once they start asking about getting together in daylight hours or weekdays, it’s pretty much over.
So happy retirement, Marjorie. Let the door hit you where God split you so you never forget that there is no re-entry. You made your choice, deal with it.
