Are you telling me the party of misogynistic bullies are being misogynistic bullies?
Oh NO! Anyways, I said to the carpenter …
... lay down on that cross.
I'm all for believing victims but from the person who claimed Jewish space lasers were starting forest fires, I'm going to need to see some more evidence than just her word
I feel empathy for her, but only a tiny bit. Her political party: (1) supports political violence, (2) commits most of it, and (3) in general commits a majority of the crime in the country. This is not an opinion, it's documented fact. Violence is the conservative party's M.O. I don't mean to victim blame, but when you willingly associate with violent psychopaths on a daily basis, violence is inevitable. It was just a matter of time before some dipshit put his hands on her.
Greene claimed to Johnson that McCormick grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her following a public spat they had over competing resolutions to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, the sources said, and asked the speaker to address the issue.
This is so fucking stupid.
I mean what 60-70%% of the country wants to grab her and shake her at this point? We just all have restraint.
Slash a distinct lack of near proximity
They’re angry they weren’t hurting the right people.
They're angry about whose resolution to hurt people got taken up

“In a private meeting”….so who leaked it?
Yeah shitty people gonna shitty people, her being a reprehensible human being doesn’t justify anyone physically assaulting her. Of course she’s all but threatened others with the same or worse so in a sane world she might see the irony but… I doubt it.
But, then again, as a great man once said: You get what you fucking deserve!
What, did he push her off of him?
Her hooves enable to her to spring upon unsuspecting prey with alarming agility
Hooves? I always thought of her more as a gorilla.
I always thought she was Dog the Bounty Hunter in drag.
We are going to need more popcorn
I'm a bit lost on protocol here.
Do I express sympathy?
Or do I just point out that's probably the closest any guy would ever want to get to touching MTG?
Simple, express sympathy for the guy for interacting with the hag
Therein lies the second problem.
Do I express sympathy for the guy touching MTG?
Or do I point out he's a Republican so fuck em?
Well, that’s rather difficult, I might say.
It's not good that violent shitheads are violent shitheads. Obviously, the violent party is in the wrong. But I don't know that I exactly have any sympathy for the victim when the Queen of the Leopards Eating Peoples' Faces Party gets her face eaten.
I thought republicunts were all about this kinda dominion biblical shit? Stfu and do as you’re told, woman.
They were fighting over who could be a bigger racist shithead. Seriously.
Is she saying the leopard ate her face?
Isn't this c/LeopardsAteMyFace worthy content?
Well nobody deserves that.
How banal would this be if it turned out he shook her hand and called it a day after his motion/censure passed and MGT just MGTin' 🤣
Yeah MTG, We get it. Not diminishing it, but, uh... that's what they do. Do you have any idea how little Republican politicians think of you!?
I think she's awful because of her actions, but Republican voters think she's worth less because of her gender...
Maybe it was antifa?
Hopefully he gets voted out and the republican party is even closer to losing the majority in the house
Said the opportunistic liar.
She knew if she said a Dem did it, no one would believe her.
“Howler monkey howls the word ‘rape’, zookeepers impressed it learned human words and go about their business”

ITT: Assaulting a woman isn't a crime if I don't like her.
I'm not trying to play at civility politics here, just reminding people that #MeToo and believe women wasn't that long ago. Without question, MTG is a monster, but we vote her out instead of cheering violence, January 6th also wasn't that long ago and we as a society need to be better than those idiots instead of wishing harm to the elected.
It's not funny to say she deserved it, that's just repackaging the "she was asking for it" trope.
The only thing I take issue with here is “…we vote her out…”. The majority of Americans have no way of voting her out and she easily won her last re-election. Unless Marjorie starts F’ing up majorly with the GOP, or Georgians start wising up, we may be hearing about her for awhile.
While you are right, calls to violence are extremely inappropriate… MGT is a known liar, and a prolific one at that. It’s not victim blaming to ask for some additional evidence given her difficulty with the truth,

I don't want to victim blame ...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In a private meeting with House Speaker Mike Johnson last week, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene accused fellow Georgia Republican Rep. Richard McCormick of getting physically aggressive with her, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter – a charge that McCormick has denied, saying it was a “friendly gesture.”
Greene claimed to Johnson that McCormick grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her following a public spat they had over competing resolutions to censure Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, the sources said, and asked the speaker to address the issue.
McCormick voted against Greene’s censure resolution and then introduced his own, more narrow version – which prompted Greene to say to reporters at the time that McCormick had his “ego bruised.” She also publicly bashed other Republicans who voted against her resolution.
In a statement provided to CNN, McCormick said the interaction was intended to be friendly, but he apologized to the congresswoman in the moment after realizing she did not receive it that way.
Last week, she told CNN she experienced a “serious” situation with an unnamed male colleague, but declined to get into further details.
Johnson has worked to address the issue and reached out to McCormick to hear his side of the story, sources said, in just another example of how the new speaker is having to manage the escalating tensions inside his divided conference.
