‘Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm,’ the former Georgia congresswoman wrote
Marjorie Taylor Greene has urged fellow MAGA supporters – and other Americans – to “take off their political blinders” over the death of protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, warning that they are being “incited into civil war.”
“I unapologetically believe in border security and deporting criminal illegal aliens and I support law enforcement,” Greene wrote on X Sunday, the day after the fatal shooting. “However, I also unapologetically support the 2nd amendment.
“Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm.”
Despite video showing that 37-year-old Pretti was filming federal officers but did not have a weapon drawn, the Trump administration has claimed he had tried to assassinate agents in an act of “domestic terrorism.”
this the same idiot who was calling for a ‘national divorce’ every other week? as if that wasn’t just a euphemism for civil war
My guess is she is a survivor of child sexual assault and the Epstein files broken her anti-empathy.
I actually agree with her on that. But yeah she says all sorts of other stupid hateful shit.
But whatever we need as many cracks in the MAGA cult logic as we can get. And they sure as hell won’t listen to me.

or are you thinking of another time.?
National divorse is in no way a euphemism for civil war. There’s literally a constitutional way of states removing themselves from the Federal Government, that’s what national divorse means.
What is the constitutional way of states removing themselves from the federal government?
A convention of states to amend the constitution; explicitly saying that specific state is no longer apart of the U.S., or inserting another legal route of succession into the constitution.
Much easier, and at the same time much more difficult than civil war.
Uh, no. That’s not a constitutional way of states removing themselves from the federal government; that’s a constitutional way to amend the constitution.
And why would we want to? I am so fucking proud of Minnesota right now you can’t begin to imagine. Why would I want them to leave? They are arguably the very best of us.
No, the one that needs to leave is the orange chancre and his minions. Why are you not talking about that? Minnesota’s not the problem here.
Another? I’m still waiting to see the first.
Is it constitutional to amend the constitution? Then how is that not a constitutional way?
You can’t tell the difference?
I don’t understand how you can’t know the difference, because this is your own claim.
Where’s that “legal route of succession” that’s already in the US Constitution? You know, the “national divorse” by way of the “constitutional way of states removing themselves from the Federal Government” you led with. You openly claimed,
Your exact words. So, where is it? A simple enough question for someone as conversant with the US Constitution as you are, right?
This is very interesting to me because you have a lemmy account that’s barely a month old, and much of the time you are fluent in English, and other times – like in your interactions with me – you seem to be barely hanging on by your fingernails. But either way, you’re always desperate to push a narrative, and never able to answer any questions put to you about what you’ve already written.
So let’s talk about that “legal route of succession” that’s already in the US Constitution, the “constitutional way of states removing themselves from the Federal Government,” because YOU cared enough about it to bring it up.
Better yet, let’s talk about constitutionally evicting that orange kiddie rapist and doing a 25 for 47, because I’d far rather keep Minnesota in the union. No need to throw out a perfectly good state when one useless syphilitic pedo is the real problem. Do you think he’s being paid by Russia, Putin’s bitch? Or do you think that $500 million he banked in Qatar from selling stolen Venezuelan oil is the real story? I’m interested in your views on this.

Not from here, huh. Well, that’s alright. 1860 wasn’t the same everywhere around the world, of course.
