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 heres 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.

"Democrat-controlled"...
At least she's sticking to the GOP playbook...

(766 posts)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.
