Democrats don't get to play the "you're an anti-Semite" card after refusing to directly censure Ilhan Omar and hating Israel for decades. So fuck off, hypocrite.

House Democrats fail to condemn anti-Semitism, don’t rebuke Rep. Ilhan Omar

More than 160 House Democrats vote against anti-Semitism amendment

Just shows how the Republican party has gone to shit over the past 4 years.

That's rich coming from people who have regularly defended open anti-Semites.
And we're talking about one Republican, not the whole party...unlike the vast majority of congressional Democrats who refused to condemn antisemitism.

Quit being a hypocritical moron.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell denounced newly elected Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday, calling the far-right Georgia Republican’s embrace of conspiracy theories and “loony lies” a “cancer for the Republican Party.”

“Somebody who’s suggested that perhaps no airplane hit the Pentagon on 9/11, that horrifying school shootings were pre-staged, and that the Clintons crashed JFK Jr.’s airplane is not living in reality,” said McConnell, R-Ky., referring to a handful of conspiracy theories that Greene has publicized in the past. “This has nothing to do with the challenges facing American families or the robust debates on substance that can strengthen our party.”--- https://apnews.com/article/mcconnell-gre...9511801795

Guess what. In a representational government, people get to choose who represents them, regardless if spineless McConnell or hypocrite MR like it.

The temps are going down to 30 degrees tonight. That's quite cold for the Southeast.

And then there's this:

I've seen it rain fish in Florida. Looked like a Biblical plague.

"The House voted Thursday evening to remove Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee assignments, a decisive step that comes in the wake of recently unearthed incendiary and violent past statements from the congresswoman that have triggered widespread backlash from Democrats and divided congressional Republicans.

House Democrats, who control the chamber, set up the vote after first attempting to pressure Republicans to strip the Georgia Republican of committee assignments on their own. House Republicans did not take that action, however, and House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday released a statement calling the push by Democrats to take away the congresswoman's committee assignments a "partisan power grab."

Greene defended herself ahead of the vote in a speech on the House floor and attempted to distance herself from the dangerous and debunked QAnon conspiracy theory, which she has previously embraced...."

Dems don't really give a crap about conspiracy theories. They're afraid of a GOP woman with the sort of attention Greene has gotten.

Speaking of conspiracy theories...what about the Russia collusion conspiracy pushed by every Democrat for four years?
