      XPost: alt.politics.trump, talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       XPost: or.politics       From: help@infiniti.net              Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) had an altercation with a reporter       Wednesday noting Americans are “sick and f‑‑‑ing tired” of talking       about       Jan. 6, 2021.              Punchbowl News reporter Melanie Zanona appeared to ask Greene a question       about the invitation extended by her conservative colleague Rep. Lauren       Boebert (R-Colo.) to give guided tours of Congress to rioters who were       pardoned by President Trump on Monday.              Greene questioned the reporter if she was going to talk about former       President Biden extending pardons to his family members just minutes       before the transition of power.              “This insane place up here and all of y’all’s obsession with Jan. 6 is       absurd,” the Georgia Republican said. “Everybody outside of here is sick       and f‑‑‑ing tired of it. I’m serious.”              She continued, harping on Biden’s pardons of “murderers and rapists and       disgusting people,” arguing that some people have their “panties in a       wad” because rioters who stormed the Capitol were pardoned.              The congressional reporter pushed back, noting that Greene has been an       active supporter of Jan. 6 rioters receiving justice and her question       was related to Boebert’s vow to provide tours of the Capitol grounds.              Zanona also highlighted Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) forming a committee       to investigate the riot and the previous select committee probing the       attack.              “I’m so sick of you people and this crap. I really am,” Greene replied.              She later added that reporters never gave her a “fair shot” and made       assumptions about her time in the House.              “Why don’t you do a story on what people care about? People care about       the border, the economy, energy. They’re sick and tired of the foreign       wars. They’re tired of the hypocrisy up here, and they hate the media       right now,” Greene said.              Greene posted the clip to her social platform X account and said she is       “fed up” with the Washington, D.C., media.              “Your assumptions are ignorant and you are absolutely disconnected and       clueless about what is important in life and to Americans. You have       destroyed your credibility,” she wrote. “With social media like X, you       can’t lie about me anymore.”              The Hill has reached out to Zanona for comment.              https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5103837-greene-tells-reporter       americans-are-sick-and-f-ing-tired-of-jan-6/              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
