A Memo to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
TO: Marjorie Taylor Greene
FROM: Kurt Franklin Stone
RE: America’s Most Asinine Political Troll
Congratulations MJT: you’ve hit absolute rock bottom. Within hours of President Joseph Biden’s speech condemning MAGA Republicans and the danger they pose to the future of American Democracy, you had the gall to compare him to Hitler . . . and then run an amateurishly-doctored video of the speech with the president wearing a Hitler moustache along with a backdrop of Swastikas and a soundtrack provided by Der führer. Even for you - who have accused George Soros and the Rothchild family of causing forest fires in California via lasers from outer space, and proclaiming that the January 6 insurrection was the work of Black Lives Matter radicals (among many, many other conspiratorial whoppers) - this is going way too far.
We all know that you don’t believe for one second that Biden is Hitlerian . . . or that Democrats are pederasts involved in sex-trafficking children out of a Maryland pizza parlor. It’s all for show . . . and increasing your standing amongst your QAnon supporters. Tell me Marjorie: if Biden is Hitler how is it that you’re still receiving a biweekly paycheck in the amount of $6,692.30 (minus FICA) for your service in Congress? How is it that if Biden is Hitler you aren’t in jail . . . or a concentration camp, or that your family isn’t under arrest? Or that you are free to lie in public and post incredible, altered twaddle on the Internet? The answer is obvious: Biden isn’t a Nazi any more than the troops protecting the U.S. Capitol aren’t members of the “Gazpacho” police or that COVID vaccines are made in “Peach Tree” dishes . . as you so ignorantly called them.
Marjorie: a large majority of the American public has long known that you are an ill-lettered horse’s ass. But to liken the President of the United States to the most evil person in world history is going way too far . . . even for a miscreant like you. Has Joe Biden murdered 6 million Jews? Has his administration firebombed the House of Representatives, burned books he’s disagreed with or denied Christian children the right to attend school? (Herr Hitler did that to Jewish children.) Has the American President ordered the military to invade and take over both Canada and Mexico . . . as well as Central America? The answer, of course, is “NO!” But you wouldn’t know that for the simple reason that you learned world history not from your teachers at South Forsythe High School in Cummings, Georgia or at the University of Georgia where you earned a B.A.A. in 1996. You learned history through conspiracy theorists associated with QAnon.
Your accusing Joe Biden of being Hitler led an Israeli diplomat to condemn you to a reporter for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency - something an Israeli diplomat would never do: "I am appalled by this cynical use of Nazi imagery and Hitler comparisons by a member of the United States Congress. As we face a rise in anti-Semitic incidents, in the US and around the world, rhetoric like this only fuels the persistent threat of hatred, extremism, and violence." (It should be noted that the agency had granted the diplomat anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, as it is extraordinarily rare for an Israeli diplomat to criticize an individual American lawmaker.
The American Jewish Committee (whose new leader, Rep. Ted Deutch will take over as President next month) also commented on Twitter that the doctored video was "vile, offensive, and completely unbecoming for a member of Congress." The AJC text also called for Republican members of Congress to condemn your attack. To date, none have had the guts to do so. Talk about cowardice! I hate to think of all the goodies they are going to bestow upon you should the Republicans recapture the House; you could easily become a committee chair!
Marjorie, I really don’t know what is worse, more reprehensible or most unsettling: that you do not believe what you say or proclaim, or that you do. If it be the former, then you are an immoral opportunist; if the latter, then you have the I.Q. and scruples of a carnivorous plant.
Whether you care or not, Marjorie, you are never going to be anything more than a footnote in American history. Your entry will be nothing more than an example of a long-forgotten, thoroughly unqualified backbencher who accomplished virtually nothing during her brief time in Congress.
If you believe I’ve libeled you, sue me. I will no doubt have my choice of the greatest First-Amendment attorneys, all offering their services pro bono.
Good luck in your next life . . .
