4:44Now PlayingA judge this week ruled that a challenge to Marjorie Taylor Greene's eligibility to be on the ballot can move forward, and Greene immediately ran crying to Tucker Carlson to have a meltdown about the decision. She claimed that people were trying to steal her district and then complained about being labeled an "insurrectionist." She put herself in this position, and only has herself to blame, as Farron Cousins points out.

So on Monday of this week, a judge ruled that the election challenge, right? The ballot challenge for Marjorie Taylor green, even being on the ballot this year could move forward. So Marjorie Taylor green did what any good conservative does. And she went crying to Fox news about what ha happened. And she appeared on Tucker's show Monday night. And this is what she had to say. Take a look.
And now the progressives, the people that donate to dark money groups, you know, the 5 0 1 [inaudible] threes and the foundations they've hired up some attorneys from New York who hate the people in my district. And don't believe that they should have the right to elect who they want to send to Washington, which is me. I have overwhelming support in my district and I'm so thankful for all of them. Well, now they've filed a lawsuit because they're trying to rip my name off of the ballot and steal my district's ability to reelect me and send me back to Congress.
So, oh, all those dang liberals and they're dark money. Yeah. Cuz liberals are the ones that have a dark money problem here in the United States. They're trying to steal my district. Now we're just trying to keep insurrectionists from holding office here in the United States, as the constitution says, we should. I mean, liberals, the, the folks challenging you, they are the ones upholding the us constitution. And that's why the judges have repeatedly told you, you're gonna face this challenge. You're gonna go to court and you're gonna explain your actions and convince us as is your legal right to do that. You in fact, nothing wrong. And if you can do that, you got nothing to worry about. But if you can't, of course, then suddenly you got a problem Marjorie. And as I've said before, in a lot of these election challenges, it's pretty clear that the person being challenged is gonna win.
I think Madison Callthorne is going to win his challenge. I'd love it. He didn't, but I think he's gonna win it. Marjorie Taylor green. On the other hand, this is like the only one I'm actually kind of optimistic about because the evidence against her is very strong. Her words leading up to enduring that insurrection were words of encouragement, right? This is our 1776 moment, meaning this is the time to topple the government. So kind of hard to explain that away. That's why I think if any of these are going to succeed, hers has the biggest chance of succeeding, but there's another thing happening here. Not getting enough attention. I feel there's another reason. Marjorie Taylor green is so off right now and it's not because of the election challenge. It's because her democratic challenger, Marcus flowers, well, we just got the numbers for the first quarter fundraising of this year and he actually raised more money than she did Marjorie Taylor green, as we all know, had a horrible first quarter of this year and actually ended up spending more money than she took in.
So things aren't so great with the Marjorie Taylor green campaign. Now in Ernest, she is currently still sitting on 1 million more in cash than the flowers campaign has. Green has about 3 million. He has roughly 2 million. So yeah, you still got a million dollars more than him. And let's be clear here. Mark is flowers, even though he is raised over 7 million for this race, no offense to him at all, but that's money. That's most likely wasted. Marjorie Taylor green is in a district where, of course last election, she ran unopposed, but Trump also won that district by 50 points, 50 points. This isn't a swing district, right? This isn't a place where a Democrat can just swoop in and say, ha ha. I gotcha. Now this is a deep red district that a Republican is 100% going to win. The only question is, will that Republican be Marjorie Taylor green? Or will she be sitting on the sidelines watching the race unfold because of her encouraging words that she gave to those insurrectionists time will tell L and I can't wait to find out.
