MTG projects her short comings onto Congress, calls it an 'Utter Failure'.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Congress 'Utter Failure' Ahead of Steve Bannon Contempt Vote

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) deemed Congress "an utter failure" just before the House voted to hold former President Donald Trump's ex-adviser Steve Bannon in contempt.

The House held Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol by a vote of 229 to 202 on Thursday afternoon. Nine Republicans joined with Democrats in favor of the contempt charge, while Rep. Greg Pence (R-Ind.), former Vice President Mike Pence's brother, abstained from voting. Shortly before the vote was held, Greene lashed out at Congress on Twitter.

"Congress is an utter failure," tweeted Greene, a staunch ally of Trump who has made multiple recent appearances on Bannon's War Room: Pandemic podcast. "Total. Complete. Failure. They don't care about you. Your family. Your job. Your security. Or your freedoms. They only care about themselves. They make me sick."





In a statement to Newsweek, Greene made it clear that her tweet was pointed at the January 6 committee and the decision to hold Bannon in contempt.

She doesn’t even think of herself as part of the United States government. I guess she’s working for an adversary

As for her Tweet, she must’ve been gazing deep into a mirror with those points.

It's an unfortunate fact but still a fact.

She is a member of Congress.

Which, by her own words, makes her a complete and total failure that only cares about herself.

Oh, she can attempt to clarify her statement all she wants - she still said it like she said it - directed at the whole of Congress. Which includes her.

Though I can understand her confusion about her role in Congress since she serves no purpose there.

She has no idea what her job actually is or how to be a decent human being. I hope she loses the next election and falls off the planet after that.
