MTG SAYS "lets fight it out im not afraid"

https://www.businessinsider.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-ready-for-gop-civil-war-2022-11?utm_source=reddit.com

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene isn't afraid of a GOP civil war.

"We're going to fight it out. I'm telling you — I've always said I'm not afraid of the civil war in the GOP. I lean into it," Greene told former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on his "War Room" podcast on Monday.

During her conversation with Bannon, Greene broke with her House Freedom Caucus allies and backed McCarthy's bid for House Speaker. Leaning into new fault lines in the GOP's right wing, she called a leadership challenge "very, very risky."

she came on the scene with her ignorant statements of gazpacho police and peach tree dishes. If McCarthy is stupid enough to put that embarrassment in charge of anything he will be greatly embarrassed himself.

“Let It Be”. Let the crazies fight it out.

There are, IMHO, two types of Republican crazies. The true nut cases, and the one going along to stay in Office.

We are in a fight for the Soul of this Country. More of us than them but they are largely out of their minds and they have the guns.

I wish I knew how this all turns out.

We'll reap 24 randomly selected members, 12 men and 12 women, from next Congress's House Republican Caucus. We'll send them into an arena armed with anything except a gun. The one who makes it out alive gets to go back into Congress.

Okay, okay, I'll admit it: until the special elections are held to replace the 23 vanquished tributes the Democrats will have enough of a majority to get some shit done.

She’s terrified.

All of these gun packing, fearful of being outed as stupid (that one in particular is almost owed by Kari lake), fearful of being revealed for the intolerant pricks they are, republicans have one thing to sell you.

Fear.
