Marjorie Taylor Greene calls on supporters to exercise 'Second Amendment rights' on vaccine door-kno

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia recently encouraged supporters to exercise their "Second Amendment rights" against vaccine door-knockers from President Joe Biden's "police state," in previously unreported remarks made to the Alabama Federation of Republican Women last Friday.

Greene told the group that Biden "is going to be sending one of his police state friends to your door" to see if you've been vaccinated, the Alabama Political Reporter reported Thursday morning.

"We all love our Second Amendment rights and we don't like the federal government coming on our property to tell us what to do," Greene said. "You have HIPAA rights and you do not have tell your medical information and you can tell them to get off your front porch and get off your front lawn."

Speaking at a sold-out Civic Center in Dothan, Greene also called the House of Representatives, in which she serves, "evil."

"I cannot believe I work in that place," she said, adding that she carries around a list of the 11 Republicans who voted to strip her of committee assignments based on her past incendiary comments and apparent support for violence against Democrats.

I normally ignore what this POS says, but she is actively advocating violence here. How is she still a member of Congress?

to include the Frederick County Virginia Board of Supervisors this month and last. They/Supervisors (all GQP) called for making Winchester a sanctuary city against the "tyrant" decisions coming out of Richmond. They also warned of FEMA coming up neighborhood driveways in state uniforms waving papers around. "I have no idea why," said one supervisor. They also said the COVID vaccine had not been officially approved by the FDA. They got several negative responses at the Board meeting itself and a letter to the Winchester Star. Their nonsense is all orchestrated, but there is dissent.

If you're going to pull your gun out just for visitors you don't like, then you shouldn't have a gun. Castle law only goes but so far.

We don't pull our guns out because a Mormon or a JW comes to our door. We don't pull out a gun if a Republican campaigner or a salesman comes to our door.

I actually would love to do to her what she did to AOC. I would love to go to her office in DC, pound on the door, and demand she come out and talk to me.

She is dumb as shit. Then again, if she keeps saying it, the idiots who listen to her are going to believe it.

She thinks she is playing coy with the "we love our second amendment rights".

No one from the federal government is coming to compel anyone to get the vaccine. Unlike Greene, the feds understand that their authority is limited with respect to public health mandates. Now, employers can certainly mandate vaccination. Schools, etc... The feds are just sending people to talk and share actual true, factual information, unlike this POS.

Greene, I do not think, is long for Congress, she will either get kicked out, quit to go on the grift full time, or be voted out within the next 3-4 years. Here is why I think this:

She will lose her popularity unless she continues to say shit that is crazier and more extreme. She cannot continue to do that without eventually running afoul of some law or rule of Congress. Basically, she is painting herself into a corner and she has nowhere to go without alienating her fan base or derailing her own career.
