Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) sat for a call-in show on a local cable access station this week and it got awkward in a hurry.

One caller described her as an “embarrassment to the state of Georgia.” 

Another ripped her and others who don’t accept Donald Trump’s 2020 election defeat. Greene just smirked and squirmed: 

Greene was stripped of her committee assignments last year over her violent rhetoric as well as her embrace of racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

But that hasn’t stopped her. Since then, she has suggested a “national divorce,” indicated the Second Amendment could be a defense against Democrats and used racial slurs.

Despite that, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said Greene would get her committee assignments back if Republicans retake the House in this year’s midterm elections. He has also vowed to kick several Democrats out of their committees in retaliation.
