John,
Most of the country is focused on far more important things than Marjorie
Taylor Greene’s schedule and Donald Trump’s desperate efforts to stay
relevant. But both Greene and Trump used the final days of Black History
Month to do some pretty racist things. So, they deserve a look from Worst
Behavior Watch.
This time, both Greene and Trump have gone so far that they’ve alienated
themselves even from members of their own political party. And with the
state of the modern Republican party, that’s saying a lot.
Let’s start with the representative from our 14th Congressional District.
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s decision to pal around with infamous white
nationalist, anti-Semite, and Putin backer Nick Fuentes caused facepalms
across the country.
Kevin McCarthy called Greene’s attendance at an event hosted by
Fuentes “appalling” and “unacceptable.”
Republican Whip Steve Scalise also condemned her behavior. And Scalise
committed a similar offense years ago by attending an event hosted by a
white supremacist group. When that fact came to light, he acknowledged
he’d done wrong. He apologized. Steve Scalise has tried to be on his best
behavior since then.
Marjorie Taylor Greene? Not so much. She’s doubling down and going on
the offensive, attacking the media, Democrats, and the Republicans who
tried telling her that she messed up.
It would be a tragedy if this type of behavior is what Americans think of
when they think of Georgia. Will you make a donation now to help us
push back against her racism and amplify the voices of real Georgians?
You know who Marjorie Taylor Greene is not attacking? Donald Trump.
You know why? Because Trump thinks just like she does.
Recently, the two-time loser of the popular vote weighed in on the issue
of Buckhead seceding from Atlanta to become its own city, a proposition
so outlandish that even most statewide Georgia Republicans have
denounced or danced around it.
“Let the voters decide on the very popular City of Buckhead proposal!”
Trump said, apparently reversing his position on whether voters in Georgia
should be allowed to decide the outcomes of elections. It’s unclear if Trump
knows that Buckhead bucked Trumpism in 2020, with 60% voting for
President Biden.
Trump is trying to prop up his political ally and fellow second-place finisher
in the last election David Perdue, giving him political ammunition to use in
his race-to-the-bottom gubernatorial primary against Brian Kemp. Discussing
Buckhead cityhood, Perdue said, “We have to defend our way of life,”
echoing the motto of nearly every racist policy in our history.
We can’t let this type of behavior continue. Can you rush a donation to show
that racism like this will NOT be tolerated?
