Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene refers to Nazi-era 'brown shirts' in opposing vaccination push WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., made another Nazi-era comparison Tuesday as she railed against the Biden administration’s ramped-up efforts to encourage Americans to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as the Delta variant spreads. Greene, who recently apologized for comparing mask mandates at the U.S. Capitol to the Holocaust, said in a tweet that people have a choice to get vaccinated and don’t need “medical brown shirts” knocking on doors to urge them to do so. She was responding to remarks Biden made Tuesday about deploying people into communities to get people to take the vaccine. “Biden pushing a vaccine that is NOT FDA approved shows covid is a political tool used to control people,” she tweeted. “People have a choice, they don’t need your medical brown shirts showing up at their door ordering vaccinations. You can’t force people to be part of the human experiment.” ... https://news.yahoo.com/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-refers-114212590.html It's kind of ridiculous having an elected official pushing disinformation, but here we are. Meanwhile, actual American brown shirts are marching (at least until they run away scared): https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...ry-onlookers-philadelphia-police-say-n1273096
1. All elected officials push some form of disinformation (because they automatically lean toward their own party). 2. MTG just likes to stir the plot. She's clearly not all there.
More on the Nazi theme: Trump told chief of staff Hitler ‘did a lot of good things’, book says On a visit to Europe to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the first world war, Donald Trump insisted to his then chief of staff, John Kelly: “Well, Hitler did a lot of good things.” The remark from the former US president on the 2018 trip, which reportedly “stunned” Kelly, a retired US Marine Corps general, is reported in a new book by Michael Bender of the Wall Street Journal. ... Bender reports that Trump made the remark during an impromptu history lesson in which Kelly “reminded the president which countries were on which side during the conflict” and “connected the dots from the first world war to the second world war and all of Hitler’s atrocities”. ... https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/06/donald-trump-hitler-michael-bender-book
What happened to the good old days, when Geraldo said we should call it the Trump vaccine. Trump demands credit for warp speed, but not for the brown shirts. Smh.
Forget the brown shirts. Instead go back to when brown skin (Harris) said she wouldn’t trust the vaccine. but like one of my fav posters often says, if you don’t agree with her then don’t vote for her. And I see none of the posters in this thread live in GA, so that probably means you’ll only vote for her opponent 9 or 10 times.
Speaking of a very confused elected official, here's everybody's FAVORITE lunatic Congresswoman on Caitlyn Jenner (everybody's favorite future California Governor failure) SNIP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene misgendered CA gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner, calling her a "man in a dress." ENDSNIP https://www.yahoo.com/news/rep-marjorie-taylor-greene-misgenders-021207891.html Now, I'm basically as confused as most on how to handle Caitlyn Jenner, but the obvious comeback from Caitlyn should have been - "Well, that makes two of us"... Opportunity lost there...
Not what she said. She said if politicians say take it but not doctors, she wouldn’t. Now we have doctors saying take it, but people are instead listening to politicians. Literally the opposite of what kamala said.
Like 1/6 is worse than the Civil War? Like voting integrity is worse than 9/11? Like the wienie democrats that won't do the job they were voted in for in Texas are like the revolutionaries? If you got rid of ridiculous comments by congress critters you wouldn't have to hear from any of them again.
The scientist that invented mRNA is saying don't take it if you don't have (morbidities and such) to and absolutely should not be given to children. Doctors tell you what pharma tells them.
. Ironic... Hitler's brown shirts opposed the evil marxists Ignorant people like her have no historical perspective... she should be comparing the Democrat marxists with the marxists... not Hitler's anti-marxist fascists. .
To be fair, American history is one of the blackwater marks in our country's education system. That's why you can have people who seriously suggested that America began in 1612 in Jamestown, instead of 1774 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Lol…we’ll just call this bit of fluff McCarthy’’s law. When you can’t win an argument, call people commies.
If the vaccine was good for Americans, would oppose it. believe the virus is natural. So do the people who made the vaccines. I'm betting the people who "designed" the virus anticipated such vaccines. The vaccines and the lockdowns have done more damage then the virus alone ever could.
I was taught that Jamestown was the first settlement on American soil. Sounds like a beginning to me.
Oh the irony of someone who publicized an anti-semitic conspiracy theory accusing others of being 'brownshirts'. Maybe Congress needs an IQ test.
My nation celebrates its beginning as the start of settlement rather than independence, so teaching that the start of settlement is the start of the nation is an entirely reasonable thing.
As far as I know, it's still being taught that way here. What was left out for me was slavery. Slavery wasn't discussed until we studied the Civil War. The 1619 Project, FWIU, includes slavery from its inception. Not only is that reasonable, it's necessary for an accurate study of the early economy.
Taken as a whole I'm not a fan of the 1619 project. Enough historians I respect have raised issues with it for me to approach it with care. That isn't to say aspects of it don't raise important issues or offer valuable insights, but it shouldn't be used wholesale as a teaching aid. That said, it is light years ahead of Trump's sad little propaganda exercise, which read more like something a Politburo would release than a serious attempt at history. Conservatives have a woeful record when it comes to writing history. They rarely try all that hard, preferring slogans and propaganda to the hard work of research.
I know little to nothing about the project or its criticisms, though I have heard them. Regardless of any specific tool used, including slavery in early American history is necessary. Nobody has to adopt the entire 1619 Project into their curriculum (or any of it, for that matter), but the subject itself is warranted.
That depends on how you want to define a country. As the authors of the 1619 project, etc would have you believe, the English settlers were a free people. They were not, there was no such interpretation of history prior to 2020. You know it and I know it. In reality, as history actually played out the English settlers were subjects of Britain, and would remain such subjects until a series of abuses(taxation, not slavery, being chief among them). and the lack of representation made it so that at first they attempted to resolve their grievances politically but then had no choice but to rebel from their British Overlords. I think learning about slavery in context to the civil war is accurate history. American settlers couldn't do much about it in 1619, and the political consequences of doing something about it in 1774 meant that the civil war would have likely either been won by the South in '74, or there's not a union at all. That wasn't the time for something as revolutionary as overthrowing the slavery system. But we gradually moved forward, and that used to be celebrated from a historical perspective, but now it's tainted because in the eyes of many, union be damned and its existence, they should have done the politically pure thing in 1774. Well if they did, there's no America so take that what you/we will.
