Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She Trusts Government LESS Because She's In It

In a very odd moment during an interview this week, Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that not only does she NOT trust the government, but she trusts it even LESS now because she is in it. A lot of Americans feel the same way, but clearly for different reasons. Farron Cousins explains how people like Greene and her cohorts have eroded the trust of our government with the American people.

During an interview this week, Marjorie Taylor green admitted something that, to be honest is pretty much how most other Americans feel. And that is that she actually trusts the government less because she's a part of it. So here she is very short clip, Marjorie Taylor green, admitting that, uh, her presence is apparently bringing down Congress, take a look.

I don't trust the government. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm in it, but, and I trust it even less. Now that I'm in it

Again for the first time ever, I'm not gonna disagree with Marjorie Taylor green here, you know, I she's right. And it's kind of shocking that she actually said something that was truthful and a little bit self-revealing we all, I think trust government a little bit less now that you are a part of it, but of course we can't give all that credit to Marjorie Taylor green, not when you've got people like Paul Gosar out there, Louis Gomer, Jim Jordan, Matt gates, Mo Brooks, Lauren Bobert Madison coor for a limited time, all of you. And so very, very many more are what's dragging down the entire reputation of Congress. And it's not only of course, because you are a bunch of, you know, idiotic and income poops. No, it's mainly because people like you continuously vote against legislation that would benefit the lives of citizens. And that's where we have to, of course, draw that distinction.

It's fun to make fun of Marjorie Taylor green. I'm not gonna stop until she's no longer in office. I enjoy it. Same thing with gates and Bobert and Gomer and all those other goers. But at the end of the day, people in this country where Congress, of course has a hideous approval rating, they don't just despise Congress because they despise these individuals and their behavior. What they're mad about with Congress is that nothing happens. And so the big question is why does nothing happen? And it, nothing happens because of these people, because of these obstructionist, they're goofy behavior. Believe it or not. Folks is actually excused. Sometimes praised by many people in this country. And we have to accept that we don't have to like it, but we do have to understand that that is happening. But at the end of the day, what these people are off about why they despise Congress, why they don't trust the government is because they're not doing anything to help them.

So these Republicans, people like Marjorie Taylor green vote against sending us stimulus checks, right this past week along they've they voted against making stiffer penalties for traffickers. They voted against giving veterans healthcare who were exposed to toxins while serving our country it's votes like that, that prohibit good things from happening in this country that make people distrust Congress. It's not just because Marjorie Taylor green is a little bit nutty. It's not just because Matt gates is, you know, facing a pretty serious investigation and actually voted against legislation that would increase the penalties for what he is, you know, being accused of, or at least being investigated for. So we have to understand that distinction. Yes, Congress is historically unpopular and it is untrustworthy because of people like Marjorie Taylor green, just not for the reason that most people think it's not the craziness that drives the public insane. It's the lack of action. The lack of really respect for the job, respect for the institution. That's, what's driving people crazy in the United States. And of course it is driven by people like Marjorie Taylor green, who would rather see this country go down the toilet than let the democratic party pass a good bill.
