3:59Now PlayingDuring an interview with Tucker Carlson this week, Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene strongly implied that she is the smartest member of Congress and that no one else in Congress knows what they are doing. She is clearly suffering from pretty intense delusions of grandeur, and can't recognize her own shortcomings. Farron Cousins discusses this bizarre claim from Greene.

Republican representative Marjorie Taylor green believes that she is the smartest member of Congress, or at least smarter than most of her colleagues there during an interview with Tucker Carlson. Of course, this week, she made the comment. Well, can't even really explain her comment. I actually just have to read it because it doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense, you know, for being the smartest member of Congress. So here it is when I got to Congress, I found out here's why the business it's a business. That's what Congress is. It runs the country. This is why this business is failing because most of the people there who are not qualified to be there,
It's a business
And the businesses failing. And apparently, um, according to again, a qualified member of Congress look Marjorie in terms of qualifications to be in Congress. You just basically have to meet the age, threshold and residency threshold. It's pretty cut and dry. You don't even have to be a natural born citizen here in the United States. The resident, you know, obviously a citizen of the United States sure. Resident of the County that you're running in or district. And, uh, and to meet that age required,
That's it? So all you gotta do.
Those are the qualifications. So yes, everybody serving in Congress, according to the constitution is technically qualified to be in that legislative body. Now we could argue back and forth all day about who is actually qualified to be there. And no matter how you slice it, Marjorie, you're not going to be on that list. I'm sorry, you're not. You're a first term member of Congress in your fifth month in Congress. You've already been stripped of all of your committee assignments because of your past crazy remarks, crazy remarks that by the way, would land any other person in this country, in jail, in jail for threatening politicians, the way that she has done.
And she continues to do it.
All she did was get stripped of her committee assignments. And then by the way later on in this bizarre segment with Tucker Carlson Carlson, she went on to imply that there is some kind of homosexual relationship taking place between house minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, and Republican pollster, Frank Luntz. There's obviously no truth whatsoever to that, but that didn't stop both her and Tucker from somehow bringing it up. These are two deranged individuals talking about absolute fantasy worlds that the two of them have created. And they're basically making this shared psychosis together, Carlson and Taylor green. None of what they said was true. None of what they said was based in reality, but they still were allowed the opportunity to go on the air and say, whatever the hell they felt like without any kind of consequences at all. I mean, they're openly saying these, these things about people, they are not true.
It's ridiculous. And she still has the audacity to act like she's qualified to be in Congress. Even though she inherited a built a business, excuse me, from her parents. They basically handed it down to her. She worked there for a couple years before leaving. Okay, you didn't ever build a business. You barely even ran a business. You sure as hell couldn't create a business on your own. Everything in your life has been handed to you on a silver platter, just like your congressional seat. Cause you ran unopposed. You've never had any real challenges in your life. And yet you sit there acting like one of the most persecuted and most entitled members of Congress that we have. Somebody needs to run against Marjorie Taylor green. Somebody that can beat her because this woman is an absolute cancer, not just on the Republican party, but on the country,
The whole.
