Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Back On Twitter Despite Being Banned And Urging GOP Boycott

Extremist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was back tweeting on Thursday, just days after her personal account was banned and she demanded a GOP boycott of the platform.

The conspiracy theorist used her congressional account for the first time since Dec. 24 to accuse Democrats and the media of overhyping the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.




Twitter permanently suspended Greene’s personal account on Sunday following repeated violations of its COVID-19 standards.

It did not nix her congressional account.

Marje is really showing the courage of her convictions. Only two days ago:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene urges Republicans to leave Twitter and says the platform 'attacked our country as a whole' by banning her

None of those other attacks were part of a coordinated effort, abetted by members of Congress, including her, and instigated by the sitting president Trump, to actually over throw democracy.

We've always had people who were wiling to act violently. We have had 4 Presidents assassinated and attempts on several others. We have had violent attacks on Congress people and on Federal and State properties.

What the idiot doesn't understand or is lying about, or BOTH, is that we have not had a sitting president, lose an election, then foment an insurrection, with support from a major political party, and try to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

That is what We Democratic Party members are talking about when we say it is the worst attack on democracy since ... Nancy Pelosi had it 100% accurate. 1814 was the British, who we were at war with. We invaded Canada, and they returned the favor. 2001 were foreign terrorists. 2021 was an attempt by a Republican president, who LOST re-election, to hold power in an unlawful coup, both internally, with Republican Congress people trying to use both illegal and parliamentarian processes to stop the peaceful transfer of power AND an illegal insurrection to intimidate or harm members of the Democratic Caucus AND the Republican Vice President for failing to participate in the coup.
