We really need a law to disqualify people from holding office for making repeated provable lies at this point. It’s gotten way out of hand

After January 6:
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Mo Brooks
Louis Gohmert
Andy Biggs
Matt Gaetz
Scott Perry
Asked for Pardons.
Says it ALL

Why is no one mentioning Shawn Harris (Democrat), a retired Brigadier General and combat infantry commander who served forty years in the military, who's running against Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene this November to represent Georgia's District 14 in Congress? Shawn Harris needs our support. Please have him on your show. Vote Blue.

[tloof]

Thank you for speaking out against all the lies being told. Creating fear and anger, when unity is what is needed, is unforgivable. Vote for sanity 💙

[dianebremer]

Greene isn't the only Republican talking this crap. There's a Republican Senator from Texas who was spouting the same nonsense just before Greene did.

How can people be so stupid and vote her for Congress? Who are those people? How can they live with such level of stupidity? How did they get a job?

[sandrafischer]

MTG needs to be censored and removed from congress...I've had enough of her STUPID.. STUPID crap!!

[DN-kzxl]

If MTG is arguing on elementary school level, what does that say about those who voted for her?

[thebutterflyreportbyjeffie]

As a Floridian who just went through Helene and Ian two years ago and Irma before that, and spending thousands upon thousands in clean up from the damage on my property, I will just say this: The likes of Trump and Greene and Ted Cruz and Greg Abbot need to personally go through what we have went through to comprehend what we are dealing with. Even then, I think they are too dimwitted to understand that you don’t use tragedies of this magnitude to bark like rabid dogs to score political points and make our chaos and exploitation even worse. And it’s not over…we have another one heading our way. On that note I’ll just say: VOTE BLUE. VOTE THEM OUT. 💙

[vickieturner]

I cannot believe even MTG can be so stupid and cruel and evil all at the same time.

[GraciesMom]

Exactly how does she qualify to serve as a Congressperson? I'm over the lies and conspiracies that are deliberately disseminated-vote blue, Harris/Walz 2024! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[josephhallock]

Trump handed out MAGA hats to victims of hurricane. He didn’t even hand out a bottle of water to anybody.

[TheChatterBoxPodcastshow]

Politics have not been the same or sane since 2016

[nicolehowe]

And with over 215 deceased. So disgusting🤬

[b.t.yrs_ago]

With a Sharpie the President can make a hurricane go wherever he/she wants.

[allyhartwell]

Congress need to sanction her, if you don't have behaviour standards enforced in office then what do you expect to happen in the future? This is not 1st Amendment, this is pure insanity.

[EyeTunz]

It's the dumbest point in time in American history. Every single house with a trump yard sign shares part of the blame.

[tyhlsfv]

I was saying in my head just yesterday..how nice to not see crazy MTG in the news and boom i wake u to this crap. 😳😳😳 its like she taunting me.

[judydraper]

VOTE SHAWN HARRIS AND GET MTG OUT OF CONGRESS PLEASE!!!

[dominoep]

MAGAjorie thinks that Biden is using a Weather Control Device. 🤣
