MTG is still around because the extreme right-wing faction of the GOP has seized control of the party. In the past the Republican's had done a pretty good job in keeping the far-right extremist groups under control. Sure there were isolated incident's such as Ruby Ridge, the Oklahoma City bombing, the Waco stand-off, and The Olympic Park Bombing, but these were isolated. But once Donald Trump opened Pandora's box and sided with the white supremacists and neo-Nazis at Charlottesville - the only thing left was hope.
Donald Duck is credited with 4,000-25,000 blatant lies during his time in office, including still insisting Obama isn't an American citizen. In all this time, not a single psychiatrist has called him a compulsive liar, but they are all prepared to prescribe antipsychotics, and label him mentally ill because, of course, he's too rich and powerful to be labeled a fucking liar and lowlife con artist. The studies all indicate that the US mental health system would have to deliberately try harder to be worse. Hitler's only problem, was he wasn't a healthcare professional.
So some Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators, including MTG, have seized on connections between Fauci and the Wuhan lab, drawing unsubstantiated conclusions that not only did Fauci know the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab but was responsible for funding the creation of the coronavirus that caused the global pandemic. They argue that not only did the virus leak from a lab, it was created with funding dating back to the Obama administration, and the current Biden administration is covering it up. There is no evidence the virus was created in a lab. But scientists have said they cannot rule out the possibility that the virus may have leaked out of the Wuhan lab, which is the world's top coronavirus research institute. Is there a possibility that Covid-19 originated in a lab? Yes. Is it proven, or even highly likely? No. But good ol' Margie states it as a fact. And she wants Dr. Fauci prosecuted for knowing that it came from a lab and lying about it to Congress in order to cover it up. Yet another conspiracy theory with no concrete evidence.
Dr Fauci/Victor Frankenstein/Baron von Frankenstein? Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Fauci 'Criminally Liable' for Role in Creating Coronavirus 'Bioweapon' Greene thanked former President Donald Trump for being "right all along about this virus and about the origins" before laying into Fauci during an interview on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon's War Room: Pandemic podcast. Although the origins of SARS-CoV-2 remain unclear amid ongoing investigations, Greene baselessly claimed that Fauci had taken part in a criminal effort to intentionally create the virus the causes COVID-19. "Dr. Anthony Fauci needs to get a lawyer," Greene said. "Because he is liable. I believe he is liable, criminally liable for what has happened with COVID-19. Anthony Fauci was using American tax dollars and sending it to the Wuhan lab to fund this research that was creating viruses," she added. "Why is there any need to create a virus that can spread rapidly through a population, make people sick and kill them? That's a bioweapon. So, we need to be very clear about what was the intent of COVID-19 and these viruses that they experiment with like some sort of Dr. Frankenstein experiments."
Somebody needs to take her to court for all the slanderous shit that comes out of her BIG FAT MOUFF!!
Of course Fauci would enlist the help of our ever faithful friends, the Chinese, to develop a bioweapon. Oh, and then leave emails in his yahoo.com account.
Somebody needs to put her over the knee and give her a good thorough spanking. If she's going to act like a petulant child she ought to get treated like one.
"Appearing on Steve Bannon’s Real America’s Voice podcast on Tuesday, Ms Greene lashed out at President Biden’s top medical adviser, Dr Anthony Fauci, and called Covid-19 a “bioweapon” that she believes was unleashed from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Ms Greene said she didn’t support so-called “gain-of-function research”, where lab technicians will take a virus and tweak it in order to develop vaccines and other medications. “I don’t buy it because I don’t believe in evolution. I don’t believe in that type of so-called ‘science’. I don’t believe in evolution, I believe in God,” she said, using air quotes to emphasise her point." So does she believe the coronavirus couldn't have mutated into covid-19 naturally because she doesn't believe in evolution? ‘I don’t believe in evolution, I believe in God’: Marjorie Taylor Greene argues Covid escaped from Wuhan lab (yahoo.com)
I wonder how she'd explain the covid-19 variants? Isn't that a type of evolution, or does she think Wuhan keeps developing variants and unleashing them in different parts of the world? And to what gain? Does she think The X-Files is a documentary?
It's not a disagreement of principles. They can't, or won't, even acknowledge the basic tenets of science. There is no cooperation possible with such people.
