The change occurred at a celebration, and no person else will say it, nevertheless it definitely regarded like Rep. Greene had consumed a couple of drinks. Elsewhere within the video, Greene appears to comprehend that she is not going to be Trump’s VP, however she took enjoyment of the concept Nikki Haley wouldn’t be both.
If a Democrat had talked to a journalist the identical method that Greene did, it will have been all around the US media. It will be an enormous scandal, and someway, President Biden could be blamed.
Conspiracy theories are the lifeblood of Trump and MAGA however don’t ask about them or attempt to maintain individuals like Greene accountable for his or her embrace and furthering of such harmful and bigoted extremism.
Rage and irresponsibility are the MAGA model.
