Marjorie Taylor Greene Goes Insane When Asked About Cuts To Social Security

Marjorie Taylor Greene flew off the handle when Alex Lawson from Social Security Works asked her to pledge to take cuts to Social Security and Medicare completely off the table. Instead of accepting the pledge, Greene became profane and launched attacks against Lawson and Social Security Works while also taking papers from Lawson’s hand and throwing them into the air and on the ground. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Marjorie Taylor Greene flew completely off the handle this week when Alex Lawson from Social Security Works, who by the way, Alex happens to be a good friend of us here at Ring of Fire. We have known him for many, many years. Great guy, great organization. But Alex Lawson was in the capitol this week, microphone in hand, cameraman with him, and they asked Marjorie Taylor Greene, a very simple question. We have heard reports that the Department of Government efficiency, 'cause they've made it abundantly clear, are targeting Social security and Medicare as programs that they could cut to save some costs in America. So Lawson, being with the group Social Security works, asked Green straight up, will you pledge to not cut social security? And apparently that simple question a, a yes or no question caused green to fly off the handle in a way that is just, I can't describe it as anything other than insane. So here is the full clip. This is the exchange between Marjorie Taylor Green and Alex Lawson from Social Security Works. Take a look.

Hey guys. Congresswoman, Democrat

Attack. He's funded by a Democrat, pat and donates 100% to Democrats is only here to make

No we're bipartisan.

Trump. No you're not. We,

We, no, we

Looked you up. Yeah. You are 100% funded by Democrats. You donate to Democrats. You're out here asking questions. What, what

Is the question?

Uh, all of your questions.

This is, this is a mailing. This is a mailing from Don't care about the American. This is, this is Donald Trump, president

Trump, we all campaigned on protecting, uh, senior, uh, social Security. You can't lie about it. See? Yeah. This is your political agenda. You know what? We don't care that, that's

Donald Trump. That's Donald Trump's mailing. No,

No, you are one. You're not media

That, that's Donald Trump's me mailing. No,

This point here is toward Democrat ads to attack Republicans.

So it's really simple. That's what you're, it's really simple. No, it's not. Will you pledge? No, you're a liar. Take Social Security and Medicare cuts off the table. Even

This guy right here. Look, you are lying.

What am I lying about? You're lying because I'm asking you President Trump to take a pledge.

I don't need to take a pledge because we've already done that all year long. And guess what? The sad story for you is the American people elected Trump, his agenda and Republicans lead the country because you guys suck so bad.

So I'm just wondering if you want to take a pledge to not cut Social Security and Medicare. So that's obviously conservative firebrand Marjorie Taylor Green, um, and she took, uh, my mailing of Donald Trump and threw it, uh, in the air. And uh, I'll have to go get some other ones.

So a couple things that I wanna point out. The mailing that Lawson had in his hand, as he pointed out, like this is a mailing that Donald Trump's campaign sent out to people saying, we're not gonna do this. So it wasn't a gotcha moment. He was trying to say like, look, even Trump says this is not gonna happen. So just will you confirm it's not gonna happen? Millions of people in this country rely on Social security as their sole source of income. My parents, my grandmother, same thing with them. That is their only income is Social Security.
