      In Trump’s own words:

      “KEEP PROTESTING — TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price.”

      *I mean when you reach the point that MTG is making cogent points…….. Of course she is speaking to morons who follow their leader with the ass kissing devotion of a golden retriever, but then again she was one of them once so is there hope? I really don’t know.*

      *Marjorie Taylor Greene has urged fellow MAGA supporters – and other Americans – to “take off their political blinders” [over the death of protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/minneapolis-shooting-alex-pretti-trump-latest-updates-b2907155.html), warning that they are being “incited into civil war.”

      “I unapologetically believe in border security and deporting [criminal illegal aliens and I support law enforcement,”](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ice-shooting-minneapolis-alex-pretti-timeline-b2907082.html) Greene wrote on X Sunday, the day after the fatal shooting. “However, I also unapologetically support the 2nd amendment.“

      “Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm.”

      “There is nothing wrong with legally peacefully protesting and videoing,” Greene said.“

      „The former Congresswoman asked MAGA to consider another scenario in which she replaced the protesters in Minnesota with those who supported the action on January 6, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol.“

      “We lost our minds when we watched Biden’s FBI track down and aggressively carry out home invasions and arrest… peaceful J6’ers who walked in the Capitol through open doors,” she said.“

      “Imaging [sic] if one of our MAGA independent journalists or even just a MAGA supporter stood in the street outside a J6’ers house while Biden’s FBI carried out a law enforcement operation, home invasion, and arrest.“

      “Then Biden’s FBI goes to the MAGA guy videoing it all and shoves a woman with him to the ground and sprays them with bear spray then throws the MAGA guy to the ground as MAGA guy was trying to help the woman off the ground. Then Biden’s FBI beats MAGA guy on the ground, disarms MAGA guy, and then shoots him dead.“

      “What would have been our reaction? Both sides need to take off their political blinders. You are all being incited into civil war, yet none of it solves any of the real problems that we all face, and tragically people are dying.”

      I will never understand the mind switch of MTG. She consistently spread some of the cruelest and most false information consistently. And now she starts to publicly speak information that is true. It just shows that most republicans 100% know they spread false information and use the power of human conformity within a group to progress those false ideas.

    4. Biden2028- on

      Should be common sense that this was horrible. Yet there’s people who are still defending this evil. Glad she’s speaking out, broken clock..

      The 2A is not about giving citizens the right to have guns for hobby or sport, not even to defend their property. The 2A is literally for protecting a “free state”. The 2A is literally for what is happening under the Trump administration.

      A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

    10. SaltyZookeepergame46 on

      Can you imagine how fucked up the Epstein files are that MTG was scared straight out of lunacy?

    12. LadyduLac1018 on

      OMG, when this bitch becomes the voice of reason, you know we’re cooked. Signs of the Apocalypse for $500 Alex.

    15. mcbastard1 on

      She’s a vile, disgusting woman who assuredly is doing this all to position herself better in a post Donald Trump political landscape…

      …but I’m all for her trying to talk sense into MAGAts. She can fuck off forever after that, but she’s one of the few people they may listen to for a minute. These people live in bubbles and rarely do sense and reason penetrate that bubble.

    16. swiftfoot_hiker on

      Lol don’t fall for her sympathy (read her entire post) she’s still sticking to the narrative that the Jan 6 insurrectionists were „peaceful“ and that Biden overstepped his authority by arresting those folks.

    17. Kalelisagod on

      I’m not fan of MTG and truly believe she is one of the worst humans to walk the earth. But she isn’t wrong here and often if you can see past her absolutely terrible takes on everything and the fact she spreads hate like I do lawn fertilizer she is consistent when it comes to hating government and being a populist. So she can be right about this and you can still believe she is a piece of shit.

    19. Prize_Proof5332 on

      she is just a cynical politician who has realized how toxic MAGA is and wants to run for higher office at some point.

      „For Trump, the Truth in Minneapolis Is What He Says It Is“

      „The Trump team has advanced one-sided narratives to justify each of the killings, even when bystander video shows something else entirely.“

      „Twice since the start of the year, federal officers have gunned down protesters in Minneapolis with cellphone cameras rolling and twice President Trump and his lieutenants have rushed forward with a message to the American people: Don’t believe what you see with your own eyes.“

      „Without waiting for facts, the Trump team has advanced one-sided narratives to justify each of the killings and demonize the victims. [Renee Good](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/us/renee-good-private-autopsy.html), a mother of three, was engaged in “domestic terrorism” and “viciously ran over the ICE Officer,” they declared. [Alex Pretti](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/25/us/minneapolis-shooting-ice), an I.C.U. nurse at a veterans’ hospital, was an “assassin” aiming to “massacre law enforcement.”

      „But Mr. Trump has found that putting out a story line early and repeating it often can, with the help of an ideological media and online surround-sound machine, convince a sizable share of the public that does not credit contrary evidence. Even after investigations, recounts and his own advisers and attorney general refuted Mr. Trump’s claim that he won the 2020 election, [polls show](https://prri.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/PRRI-Oct-2024-AVS-Draft_B-1.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com) that most Republicans still believe the election was stolen.“

      „And so Mr. Trump and his team have taken the same reality-bending approach to the violence in Minneapolis in evident hopes of persuading the president’s political base, at least, that the protesters who have been shot are responsible for their own deaths and that “the victims are the Border Patrol agents,” as Gregory Bovino, the official in charge of Mr. Trump’s Border Patrol operations, [put it on CNN on Sunday](https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/25/politics/video/bovino-dana-bash-full-interview-digvid).“

      „And indeed, many of Mr. Trump’s supporters watch the same videos of the deadly incidents in Minneapolis and find in the sometimes murky images details that to them justify the shootings, actions by Ms. Good or Mr. Pretti that appear more threatening than what many others see. In effect, the videos have become a national Rorschach test for American polarization.“

      „While in office, Mr. Trump has been a prolific source of prevarication on any number of topics, so much so that The Washington Post counted [more than 30,000 false or misleading statements](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/01/24/trumps-false-or-misleading-claims-total-30573-over-four-years/) in his first term. Most significantly, he repeatedly spread lies about supposed fraud in the 2020 elections that inspired a mob of supporters to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to try to stop the transfer of power — and he continues to promote lies about those events to this day on [a White House web page](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/us/politics/trump-white-house-jan-6-website.html) riddled with falsehoods and distortions.“

      „The challenge for Mr. Trump at this point is the modern cellphone. There are scores or hundreds or more on the streets of Minneapolis these days and they are capturing at least a slice of reality regardless of the president’s storytelling. One of the central questions in American life today is whether a picture is worth more than a thousand of Mr. Trump’s words.“

      Why am I agreeing with this woman lately? Livin in the upside down I swear

    25. No-Connection7765 on

      Find me a Republican congressman that isn’t abandoning the public that has the same stance. Nobody should be listening to this snake. 

    27. Bronsonkills on

      MTG has jumped ship. She’s still stupid and dangerous. But she is hedging her bets on being the leader of the new conservative movement when MAGA eventually destroys itself.

    28. LightningLucia on

      This is going to cause me physical pain, but here it goes:“Thank you, Marge, that was…*sigh* that was a good point.“

    29. AmbitiousDistrict374 on

      When MTG comes out as the voice of reason, you know shit is pretty messed up.

    30. MollyRolls on

      One of the defining characteristics of good people is that they judge others by what they do, not by who they are. When—and while—that insane witch says things that are true and helpful and important, that insane witch is with us.

    31. Jayco424 on

      I think there’s no explanation other than something supernatural happening – and I jokingly say that as and Atheist. I’m guessing Rush Limbaugh’s Ghost Showed Up, followed by Lincoln, Regan/HW and Nixon. Or maybe she had a near death experience and ended up in Hell.

    32. beavis617 on

      It’s scary Twilight Zone type stuff when Margie Greene says something that actually makes sense!

    35. Spacebotzero on

      Can someone explain to me what fuckin dimension I’m living in right now where I agree with MTG and whom appears to be showing empathy and sympathy and everything else that was missing from this person when she first appeared?

      What. The. Actual. Fuck. Is. Going. On?

    36. GaimeGuy on

      until she apologizes for her past conduct, denounces the GOP, moves to impeach, and spends the rest of her life atoning, fuck her, too

    37. willow_you_idiot on

      Too bad she was such a big contributor to the shit hole the US has fallen into in previous years.

    38. blackmobius on

      If even she can see this, it remains to be seen why so many other gop/maga refuse to.

    39. the_gaymer_girl on

      When *Marjorie Taylor Greene* is sounding like the voice of reason, things are deeply wrong.

    41. Cognitive_Spoon on

      Imo, she’s an agitator and people can’t understand rhetoric well enough to see it.

      By using MTG to deliver this message to the left, it carries more weight than anyone on the left. She’s nuts, and the „if the crazy person is dropping the act to agree with me things are bad then they must be REALLY bad“ aspect of this message is the point.

      She’s an accelerator, always has been. She’s working for BRICS.
