Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s hateful rhetoric isn’t a joke. She needs to begin a conflict, says podcaster Danielle Moodie on the most recent episode of The New Irregularpodcast.
Moodie, who joined as visitor co-host of the present alongside host Andy Levy, tore into the Georgia Republican after listening to a current clip of Greene making Democrats out to be little one predators.

“Ever since Marjorie Taylor Greene entered into Congress, she’s been checked out primarily as a joke, proper? We have now mentioned she’s the QAnon queen. She is the conspiracy theorist’s conspiracy theorist. Like she is totally loopy. She has mentioned issues about Jewish individuals working lasers from outer area. However what I need of us to remove from that rant that she went on is that Marjorie Taylor Greene is just not consultant of the perimeter of the Republican Get together. She is the mainstream of the Republican Get together,” Moodie says in the course of the episode’s opening transient.
“And when she is referring to Democrats as predators,” continues Moodie, “when she is saying that we're going after kids, speaking about mutilation and all of these items, what she is signaling to the Republican Get together, to her base, is that we're at conflict.”
Andy agrees, saying that he’s been telling everybody for some time now that Greene isn’t a joke.
“Now anybody that thinks Mitt Romney is a greater illustration of the Republican Get together proper now than Marjorie Taylor Greene is nuts. That is her occasion, the occasion that Trump revamped, that she is an element and parcel of. These items must be taken severely on the highest ranges,” he provides.
Moodie then makes a pointed plea to Democrats to close down these harmful GOP speaking factors: “You have to direct the American individuals to precisely who's taking away your rights. Who's making your communities extra harmful. Who's placing your kids underneath risk.”
