I can’t believe he died 11 years ago.

That’s all. I just can’t believe it.

Marjorie Taylor Greene — harasser of shooting victims, past proponent of Jewish space laser myths, and close confidant to the GOP Speaker of the House — was busy yesterday doing what a good Trumpist does: shamelessly and repeatedly spouting blatant lies. I won’t repeat them. You can find them if you are interested.

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale, who is not perfect (no fact checker is), but who is in the right as to the relevant instances I will cite below, called her on these lies. Here were the responses from her spokesmen:

I also gave Greene congressional spokesman Nick Dyer an opportunity to comment regarding Greene’s multiple false claims yesterday about the 2020 election, such as the lies that Trump won Georgia and that there were thousands of dead voters there. His response: “Fuck off.”

Some will applaud this. Decent people will be disgusted.

Your reaction to the spokesmen’s responses tells me whether I want you here.

I spent years as a media critic of the local paper and am still a media critic when warranted. That said, I deal in facts. Greene here is dealing in lies, and crudely rebuffs any attempt to use facts or logic or evidence.

She does this because there is a market for this behavior.

If you approve of the spokesmen’s responses, you form part of that market. You, personally, are part of the problem.

If if that’s the case, I don’t want you here. Please leave. Self deport. Go.

Bye now.
