Different politicians honor the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in different ways, though it’s probably fair to say Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene took a Sept. 11 step no other member of Congress thought to take. The Daily Beast noted:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) observed the 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on Monday by running the idea of states’ secession up the flagpole; something that, the last time it happened, triggered a Civil War.
“If the Biden admin refuses to stop the invasion of cartel led human and drug trafficking into our country, states should consider seceding from the union,” the Georgia Republican wrote via social media. Greene went on to describe President Joe Biden’s policies as “traitorous.”
If this sounds at all familiar, it’s not your imagination. In late 2021, Greene briefly referenced “a National Divorce scenario” that seemed to allude to the dissolution of the United States. About a year later, the Georgia Republican seemed to predict a “national divorce” in response to the CDC adding Covid shots to its list of recommended vaccine schedules.
Earlier this year, as some elected officials released statements recognizing the Presidents’ Day holiday, the right-wing congresswoman published a message that steered clear of traditional American patriotism. “We need a national divorce,” Greene wrote. “We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s [sic] traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
That was in February. Yesterday, the public learned that she apparently hasn’t changed her mind.
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan responded to Greene’s latest missive, writing, “In any normal political world, this would require lots of other top Republicans to denounce MTG’s remarks. They’d be asked about them constantly. It’d be a huge scandal.”
