To be clear, people like Greene want to pretend that Trans people do not exist. I have no problem with Newman reminding her that they do. Greene has been been spewing hateful lies about trans people for years. It is clear who "Picked the fight".

Newman stood up to a hatefully bully, good for her.

I understand transgender now is a touchy subject. Personally I don’t understand it. If people want to be transgender have at it. (I have some issues when it comes to sports not to bathrooms).

However, at this juncture in life being pro transgender is very different than be agnostic (which I am) which is also very different than being anti transgender.

If the words and actions taken dealt with other prosecuted groups in history, ones actions are totally fine and another person replicating those actions is not.

If I put out a flag saying “gays have rights” (even if I am rubbing it in your face) and someone else put out a confederate flag saying “real Patriots have rights” (and rubs it in my face) ones actions would be ok and one would not.

I don’t know why this is the case or why society treats things that way. But that’s just how it is.

If I say I am pro civil rights and you say you are pro Jim Crow laws even if we handle everything exactly the same. They are not equal actions.

She wasn't just showing support for her child; she was throwing it in MTG's face. She should expect MTG to respond in kind and to up the outrage factor. Doesn't make what MTG did right, but Newman could have simply put up the flag and then posted her support without implicating MTG at all.

Edit: Meh. Late to the party. I see your response above to a similar post. Point is well-taken, but did anyone really expect MTG not to respond the way she did? Just another opportunity to let her pander to the prejudices of her deplorable base. A better strategy would be to simply not invite her into the fray in the first place.

I don’t know where or when this was posted, but here’s a post by MTG doing target practice while apparently thinking about the Socialist Squad.

MTG thinks they are out to destroy our country. This woman is psycho.

That's a dude firing the gun.

History has show that letting people pander to their prejudices is a good thing.

Southern Sheriffs turning dogs and water hoses on peaceful protestors and harassing kids trying to attend schools forced America to take a side in the civil rights era. Most chose the side of justice.

Hateful faux Christians spewing lies about gays forced people to pick a side. Americans overwhelmingly chose the side of love and equality.

The same choice is happening right now with trans people. It is a confusing topic but when one side is spewing hate and misinformation it makes it much easier to listen and understand the side preaching love and empathy.

No disagreement. Clearly Newman directed her support of the issue at MTG to get a reaction from MTG. She got one.

She stood up to a hateful bully in a manner that fed into the hateful bully responding gleefully.

I'd call that wrestling with a pig- where you get dirty and the pig likes it.

Suffer Well.

She posted a new sign: https://twitter.com/.../1365037189508206593

But MTG identifies as a woman, and that’s her business, not mine.

That's unacceptable. She should be removed immediately.

I think Scott Dworkin is a reliable source, but I can’t find that video post anywhere else. So, it’s authenticity is not firmly established in my mind. It’s totally in line with MTG’s conduct, though. It would be in character for her.

that video is totally fake.

Are we talking about the trap shooting out of the back of the pickup? Where’s she from that’s called Thursday afternoon and that’s not a joke.

It’s irrelevant but it suddenly occurs to me that MTG is kind of butch. And she’s so anti-trans. Where is she going to end up? What will she be doing in 5 years?

I was talking about the other sign being hung up -- the text has been changed. Not sure if that was what everyone else was talking about!

Ahhhh..yeah, that one was definitely a joke. I thought you were talking about the video in the post jmh first responded to. MTG shooting from the back of a pick-up talking about some made up dialogue to scare the ignorant into voting for dangerous people.

I was referring to the shooting video, not the sign video. But I agree that the one w/ the altered sign is definitely manipulated.

“We believe our hard-earned tax dollars should just go for America. Not for, what? China, Russia, the Middle East, Guam, whatever, wherever,”

Guam? Fucking idiot.

edit: I acknowledge that is only the second dumbest thing said about Guam by a member of Congress from the great brain trust that is the state of Georgia. Hank Johnson still wins.

Stupid people say stupid things.
That makes make me laugh.
Unless the stupid person is in a position of power.
Then it makes me scared.

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

Fucking idiot is still too kind. She needs to be ignored. She's a grifter, in this just to become famous for her next grift.

Probably bucking for a time slot on one of the right wing news channels.

That's the low hanging fruit for sure.

you're doing a great job ignoring her. Your congress person. Oh wait?

No one gives a crap about ST...it's not like I'm answering her and her stupid tweets...my congress person is also a fucking idiot and I'm also ignoring her.
Anything else to contribute?

But it is hard to ignore when she is allowed access to the floor of the House. This past week she has made repeated (4) motions to adjourn debate on legislation forcing members to the well to cast votes. She is pissing off even her republican congress peoples ( the count is now up to 40 ) as they have voted down her motions.
To quote the young lady: "These are tactics I will definitely use, and I'll have more tactics to use. You see the difference in me is I'm not the one of those that gets in line and says 'Yes sir' and does what I'm told."

The leader of the Freedom Caucus, Jim Jordan remains supportive of Marjorie, while the leader of the minority, McCarthy is negotiating with the lead democrat Hoyer about how best to proceed.
