The Most Ridiculous Lies in Marjorie Taylor Green's Soon To Be Released Memoir
Of course Marjorie Taylor Greene's upcoming book is full of lies.
- 9 minutes
[00:00:17]
That doesn't have
much to do with this story.
I just love it.
And the music editing, no notes.
It's perfect.
But we saw there was, of course,
representative Josh Hawley, who is fleeing
the abhorrent violence on January 6th
after notably earlier giving like
[00:00:33]
the raised fist to the mob that he would
eventually be fleeing for his life from.
Well, that seems like an amazing,
just crystallization of cowardice.
But Marjorie Greene thinks
that she has other examples
that deserve just as much attention.
[00:00:49]
So she's written a book.
Written. She did it.
She sat down and she wrote it.
She, like, wrote it out or typed it.
It was her that did it. Credible.
Credible. Definitely.
All the words she wrote,
all of the words herself, she did that,
[00:01:04]
which is impressive for.
- For someone who can barely read.
- That's a good point.
Yeah. Anyway, the book is called MTG.
Did you think at all of a real title
that's what you went with anyway?
Okay, whatever.
Look, we don't have the book,
but The Guardian has the book,
[00:01:20]
and they're already publicizing some
of the claims that she makes in the book.
And so some of it has to do
with yet more misinformation
around what happened on January 6th.
And it's opportunistic misinformation, as
it so often is, because she is lying about
what happened on January 6th specifically
to make the Democrats look bad.
[00:01:39]
So she says, describing January 6th,
several of the Republican congressmen
said, we're going to stay right here
and defend the House chamber.
As they began barricading the door
with furniture, I noticed not one Democrat
was willing to stay to defend the chamber.
So the idea there is look at these
cowardly Democrats, these like man's men.
[00:01:59]
Republicans are willing to stop again,
the conservatives on the other side
of the barricades from coming through
and killing people, but not the Democrats.
The issue is that that's just not true.
And we already know that it's not true,
because in the wake of January 6th,
there was a lot of attention paid
to what was going on there.
[00:02:15]
And we got the, like the casual testimony
of a lot of representatives
who were involved in that.
And so we know there were people
like Representative Jason Crow
and Army combat veteran who talked about
what he got up to during that time.
He said,
I got into Ranger mode a little bit.
[00:02:30]
Most of the members didn't know how to use
the emergency mask, so I was helping them
get their emergency masks out of the bags
and helped instruct a bunch of folks
on how to put it on and how to use it.
I wasn't going to leave the House floor
until every member was gone, so I waited
until we were able to get everybody out.
Allegedly was the last representative
out of the room?
[00:02:49]
I guess in her defense,
green didn't see that because she was
already out of the room at that point.
He was still waiting,
but just like completely ignoring it now
he look, he goes on and says,
Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't exist
in the same reality as the rest of us.
We've known that for some time.
For those of us who were there on January
6th and actually defended the chamber
[00:03:06]
from violent insurrectionists,
her view is patently false.
She doesn't know what she's talking about,
which definitely seems true.
And there are others. Raul Grijalva.
We'll get to what he had to say.
But this is perhaps, I guess, the least
important thing about what happened
on January 6th is who had bravery, but she
just she can't help but lie about it.
[00:03:27]
So add this to the mountain of other lies
that she has told about January 6th.
- Sharon, what do you think?
- He's very mean.
I mean, she also called them fat,
basically said they were out of shape.
An old ageism too.
They could not run fast enough to escape.
They had bags over their heads
because they were afraid of tear gas.
[00:03:45]
It's just mean and stupid.
It's just really stupid.
What do you say about
is it in the fiction section?
Is that how you get it? It's just not.
She knows it's not true.
Okay, stop calling people fat.
It's in the trash fantasy section.
[00:04:02]
Like, not even good fantasy
trash fantasy section.
I can't believe it.
I mean, I can't I'm still trying to get
over the fact that Marjorie Taylor Greene
actually expects anyone to believe
that she wrote this book, but.
But whatever. She's paying her ghostwriter.
[00:04:21]
And yeah, she's like,
why do we even listen to her?
She's just like, what?
What were they supposed to do?
Like, you're not allowed to bring arms
into the Capitol building, right?
[00:04:37]
As far as I know, you're not allowed
to bring you're not allowed to be armed
inside of the Capitol building.
And so did she expect that they were
supposed to just be, like, put them up?
Yeah.
[00:04:53]
You know, some of these some of these
people that were coming in did have arms
and they had bear spray and batons
and they were like taking baseball,
you know, baseball bats
to the heads of security guards and stuff.
Yeah.
[00:05:08]
And let's not forget,
like there were guards that died,
you know, from in this mob.
So like.
What did you know? Where were you?
Marjorie?
What were you doing? Were you doing the.
Put em up thing? Like.
Come on.
[00:05:24]
She was knocking out a set of pull ups.
Yeah, the entire thing is ridiculous.
And again, it's another demonstration,
by the way, of what we constantly see
and is not often pointed out,
is the wanting to have your stupidity cake
and eat it too on the right where, like
they'll say, Covid is a Chinese bioweapon.
[00:05:44]
How dare the Chinese
send a bioweapon to our shores?
And then when it's here, what should we do
to stop people from getting sick with it?
Nothing. It's just.
Don't.
Why are you worried about it?
Why are you talking about it?
You want me to put on a mask just to avoid
the Chinese bioweapon in this case?
Like, why weren't they at the barricades
with us defending against the mob?
[00:06:03]
The mob
that did nothing wrong, by the way.
They were just sightseers.
They were just tourists walking through.
And why was that?
Everyone there to stop them?
You should have had pikes raised
ready to take their charge.
They weren't doing anything wrong, though.
They were just citizens
who were concerned about the election.
I know, like,
can anyone be consistent, please?
[00:06:20]
I'm not even saying the stance you take
has to make sense of itself,
but just take one stance.
How about that?
Anyway, the mockery
of the Democrats continues.
She says many of the Democrats obligingly
put their gas masks on and some were
[00:06:37]
lying on the floor hysterical, describing
a chamber in complete and utter disarray.
Maybe they were on the ground
because they were worried about being shot
by one of these right wingers, maybe.
And also, she's not specific here,
but I detect a note of like,
she hates masks so much in the pandemic
that she's mocking people for putting gas
[00:06:56]
masks that they were ordered to put on on.
Are all masks bad now?
They could have used a bioweapon.
If there's a plane going down
with Marjorie Taylor Greene on it
and the oxygen mask drops,
she's going to be like, you know what?
[00:07:14]
No thank you.
Masks
never hashtag never again with the masks.
Just with with the last gasp
of oxygen or lungs.
Don't tread on me as everyone else is.
Just like, I hope the turbulence.
[00:07:30]
Doesn't last I can't breathe. Yeah.
Anyway.
Okay, look,
the entire thing is ridiculous.
I haven't seen this compilation.
Can we play D3?
I'm just curious what you
guys put together on this.
They were screaming.
They're so proud of her. 000.
[00:07:55]
You can do it, baby.
I love you so much, Angie.
And it's bad news.
Bad things are happening.
I'm.
I'm. I'm sorry.
- Was that Marjorie Taylor?
- That was Marjorie.
[00:08:12]
- Out.
- Whoa!
Okay.
Somebody needs to teach
this girl some form.
Because her form, like, I don't know a lot
about CrossFit or that, you know, like.
But I know even I know enough
that she was doing everything wrong.
[00:08:27]
And, girl, you're going to hurt yourself.
Yes. She is.
You are going to hurt yourself.
You're going to pull something.
- You're not doing it right.
- I don't want you to be.
Attacked by.
The crossfitters out there, because
the Crossfitters are a devoted group.
And I will say I too.
I don't know much about cross.
I'm told that they they think
that's the correct way to do it.
[00:08:45]
I also have.
Seen injuries statistics
for people in CrossFit.
So I think Crossfitters please back me up.
She is not doing this right.
She's not doing it her back.
I'm not going
to get involved in this, okay?
I don't cross Crossfitters or Swifties.
So those are the two groups
that I don't mess with.
[00:09:03]
Okay, I want to show one more graphic.
Can we show the last graphic of this?
Because the book is not
even available yet,
but already people have hit the Barnes
and Noble reviews and they're not fans.
And if you just want to have fun
for a little bit,
you should read some of the reviews.
It's possible some of them got early
review copies, but the comments are funny,
[00:09:22]
so go check that out.
It's MTG on Barnes and Noble.
