Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Tries to Defend Her Appearance at White Nationalist Conference

[Demovictory9]

CBS News repeatedly pressed Greene this morning about her appearance at the racist rally, hosted by the notorious white nationalist political commentator Nick Fuentes, and she used the old ostrich “head-in-the-sand” defense, claiming that she had no idea that Fuentes or the conference espoused such sickening values.

“I do not know Nick Fuentes, I’ve never heard him speak, I’ve never seen a video, I don’t know what his views are, so I’m not aligned with anything that may be controversial,” she said. “What I can tell you is I went to his event last night to address his very large following, because that is a young—it’s a very young following, and it’s a generation I’m extremely concerned about.”

The CBS reporter pressed her again, bluntly: “It’s a white nationalist group.”


“Excuse me, excuse me a minute,” Greene responded. “I’ll tell you exactly why I went. I went to talk to them about ‘America First’ policies, and I talked to them about our country going forward. Now in regards to Russia, Putin is a murderer and he should have never invaded Ukraine.”

CBS continued to press Greene several times about the fact that she spoke at a white nationalist conference, and she continued to deflect and speak a bunch of word salad.

[Docreed2003]

2. "I don't know him...I'm not supporting anything controversial"

And in the same sentence says "I went to speak to his large following"....so she wants us to believe she doesn't know Fuentes or his beliefs, she just wanted to use his platform. Through in a dash of indignant huff and you've got the typical republican response when they get called out on their crap

6. I think it is newsworthy that a congress member is in solidarity with a nazi group.

I think it should be very publicized.

7. The same reason I "concern" myself with roaches, rats, termites, & other varmint.

No good ever comes from ignorance. They only multiply, nest, bring disease, invade, undermine, cause destruction, leave poop, ruin what you've worked so hard for, destroy your darn house, etc, etc. - Fuck MTG
