GOP Congresswoman-Elect Says Closed Washington, D.C., Gyms Are Under 'Democrat Tyrannical Control'

Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed the “Democrat tyrannical control” in Washington, D.C., for apparently forcing her to work out in her hotel room.

Greene took to Twitter, where she shared a video of her exercise regimen on Friday. She claimed that gyms and small businesses had been shuttered in D.C.: “I work out everyday in a CrossFit gym that is open. With people. Gyms are small businesses that have been devastated by the government mandated shut downs,” Greene tweeted. “In DC, NOTHING is open bc of Democrat tyrannical control. So here’s my hotel room workout. We must FULLY reopen!”

However, journalists, politicians, and others immediately disproved her claims. Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), responded, “there is literally a gym around the corner from the hotel she is staying at.”

Others called Greene out for spreading disinformation.

1. Someone else called her hotel and learned the gym was open until 11 PM.

Gyms are open in DC, with restrictions. However, if the White House keeps spiking up the COVID count, Mayor Bowser may have to close them. Let's be clear about the cause of Greene's whining.

Or is she just providing some video for the Proud Boys and Boogaloo crowd.

thought that pops into this crank hag's head for the next two years. Attention is not what people like her need. It only encourages her to keep topping every outrageous statement she makes.

If there's a better description of ridiculous over-entitlement than that, I can't possibly imagine what it might be...

"Democrat-controlled"...

At least she's sticking to the GOP playbook...

for her latest deranged tweet. She's going to be a female version of Trump and will probably be head of the GOP in 2024.
