Hearing Goes Off The Rails As Marjorie Taylor Greene Accuses Twitter Of ‘Violating’ Her

Marjorie Taylor Greene caused a House Oversight Committee hearing to go completely off the rails on Wednesday when she accused Twitter of "violating" her by banning her personal account for misinformation. The panel was grilling former Twitter Global Head of Trust & Safety Yoel Roth, and Greene commandeered the conversation and made her wild accusations before saying that she's glad Roth got fired and then said "thank God for Elon Musk." Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins talks about this deranged outburst.

Marjorie Taylor Green has been violated. She says by Twitter yesterday you had yo Roth go in front of a, uh, house Select committee looking at Twitter and social media going after conservatives. Yo Roth, of course, is the former, um, Twitter, head of global head of trust and safety. Uh, he of course was let go when Elon Musk came along, but Marjorie Taylor Green really hi hijacked that hearing and just aired. Her personal grievances went totally nuts and even got into a little personal, like tit for tat attack on Mr. Roth. So here is what Marjorie Taylor Green had to say about her being violated and then of course continuing to get weirder from there. You didn't shadow, ban or permanently ban my Democrat opponent. No, you did that to me and that was wrong. And it was against the law. It not only, it's not only me that you violated my First Amendment rights. You violated countless conservative Americans. Guess what? I'm so glad that you're censored now and I'm so glad you've lost your job. Thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter. You violated me. You called that Covid misinformation. By the way, I'm a member of congressman. You are not

You know, I love reading these things cuz I've read this a hundred times and then saying it out loud really hammers home how infantile and stupid these statements are. Like Marjorie Taylor Green is an idiot. She's also possibly the most immature person sitting in the con. I'm a member of Congress and you are not. Dude, go back to middle school where people still behave that way. This is nuts. Not to mention the fact that yes, your personal account was banned for Covid misinformation. You still had your congressional account so you weren't even technically actually banned from Twitter. Just one of your two accounts that you used every day was banned. So you were still able to tweet. You were still able to do everything you could previously do. So you weren't banned really at all. It was a slap on the wrist saying, Hey, now you can't have two accounts.

That didn't hurt you whatsoever. Well, thank God Elon Musk bought Twitter. Yeah. Did you spend any time on Twitter yesterday when they broke the whole site? All because they fired everybody that knew what they were doing. Elon Musk is the worst thing that's ever happened to Twitter because he's not as smart as everybody wants to think that he is. He takes other people's ideas and makes them profitable. Sure, but does he, he do the work himself. Doesn't appear to be that way. And if it is, then oh my God, we're all in trouble because he sucks at it. Marjorie Taylor Green was not violated. Twitter did not break the law. As she said. They didn't violate anybody's First Amendment rights. Do you understand how stupid it is that we have somebody who is a member of Congress and you're not, not understanding how the first Amendment of the United States Constitution works? That is a dangerous level of stupidity. Accusing yo Roth in Twitter of breaking the law by violating the First Amendment. Only the federal government can violate the First Amendment. She is nuts. She is an idiot.
