Marjorie Taylor Greene is a republican congresswoman who is willfully ignorant, anti-vaccines, anti-abortion, and openly bigoted. MTG believes conspiracy theories like George Soros and Bill Gates were funding Jewish space lasers to kill people, which is why people were dying (not covid). She's peddled Pizzagate, neo-nazi white genocide/great replacement, Holocaust denial, accused children who survived school shootings of being crisis actors, and does crossfit exercises really, really poorly.
Her district in Georgia is known for being a hotbed of KKK activity.
Ah, I do know who that is then, I just didn't recognise the acronym.
So then AOC's argument is that neo-nazis are bad, so we need to let them just do whatever they want, because that's "democracy." Got it.
MTG is also a fortnite cardgame that used to be good ~20 years ago
Yeah, that was where my confusion lies. But I think it is usually abbreviated to MtG, with the "the" being lowercase.
