Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Alex Jones’ Sandy Hook Awards ‘Attack on Free Speech’


After a Sandy Hook jury announced a nearly $1 billion award against InfoWars’ Alex Jones in a civil trial in Connecticut, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to Twitter to rage against the decision, suggesting that the trial is a “violation of his First Amendment rights.”  The jury found Jones used his InfoWars show to repeatedly portray the 2012 school shooting as a “false flag operation staged by the government,” a claim which led his supporters to stalk, harass, and threaten parents of the slain students for years to come.

My, my!  Now, we all know what a prolific legislator Rep. Greene is. Perhaps the good congresswoman should consider introducing legislation to “eliminate all liable laws?”  That said, I do understand the point she’s making, which is basically this - it’s time all this accountability crap comes to an end.  No conservative should ever be held responsible for what they say.  Hell, if a fella like Jones can get sued over a few vicious lies about murdered children and their grieving parents, then next thing you know - conservatives could be forced to start telling the truth about everything.  That could spell the end of the Republican Party as we know it.  If you don’t believe me, just ask Mitch McConnell.

Putting all of that aside though, I still can’t help but wonder - could this actually be the very same Marjorie Taylor Greene who once threatened the Huffington Post with “Your freedom of press is not freedom to lie about me.”  Strange how feelings can change so dramatically under different circumstances and with different players.  The funny thing is, her good pal Donald Trump sues almost everyone who disagrees with him.  Now, I know some of you are gonna say “Hey, go easy on Marjorie Taylor Greene.  After all, she ate a helluva lot of lead paint when she was a young girl.”  Well, as they say, then maybe its time “she gets the lead out of it!”

Anyway, the way I see it, the lesson here for Mr. Jones and his InfoWars sycophants is - speech is still free, it’s just those “friggin’ lies” that are going to cost you.  Guess it’s goodbye to all those fancy cars, bigass mansions, and megayachts.  You see, it seems this Sandy Hook jury has a right to free speech also, and they’ve chosen just one simple word - “Guilty!”  Poor Alex!  Hey, I’ve got an idea for Mr. Jones.  Why not ask Elon Musk to bail you out of this mess?  After all, he’s become such a “Free-Speech” advocate, that he’s buying Twitter.  What’s a billion or so to a guy like him?

Sen. Katie Britt Blames Biden for a Rape 20 Years Ago in Mexico

During what many are calling an absolutely insane rebuttal to President Biden’s “State of the Union” address, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), walked onto a studio sound stage (set up like an upper-middle-class kitchen) and began to link a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking and rape by a Mexican drug cartel, to Joe Biden’s immigration policies of the 2020s.  She did this even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico - and at a time when Republican George W. Bush was president, not Joe Biden.  The girl about whom Sen. Britt spoke - was thrown out of her house by her mother at age 12 and eventually “fell prey to a professional pimp.”  There is no evidence that she was ever held by a drug cartel, as Katie claimed.  In addition, the young victim testified that most of her clients for prostitution were foreigners visiting Mexico to have sex with underage girls.   Okay, so now let me get this straight.  A young Mexican fema...

Nikki Haley Claims ‘America’s Never Been A Racist Country’

After causing quite a stir a few weeks ago when she told an audience member that the Civil War was fought over “States Rights,” refusing to even mention slavery, Republican Presidential hopeful Nikki Haley continued raising eyebrows again this week when Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade asked her if she thought the Republican Party was racist or if America was a “racist country.”   Astonishingly, Haley immediately said, “No!   We’re not a racist country, Brian!   We’ve never been a racist country.” Wow!  The new “female Mike Pence” just said what?   That said, and in all fairness, she may have just raised an interesting point here.   I mean, other than the slavery, repressive Jim Crow laws, the systematic slaughter and expropriation of Native Americans from their land, the segregation, the lynchings, the laws against interracial dating and marriage, discrimination in housing, education, and hiring, the negative and condescending portrayal of people of co...

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold:   Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.”  Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy!   One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal.  I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either.   But then again, what else is new?  After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests.  Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....
