4:02Now PlayingMajorie Taylor Greene was forced to admit this week that she didn’t actually read the “big beautiful bill” that she voted for a few weeks ago, and now that she has, she’s absolutely furious about some of the provisions. It seems like the time to get angry and raise objections about the content would be BEFORE you blindly voted for it. She doesn’t get to freak out after the fact and act like she’s being “transparent,” which is exactly what she claimed. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Let's face it, Congress, you know, whether you're in the House or the Senate, you have a lot of responsibilities. But we can basically boil it down to three main responsibilities. Writing legislation, reading legislation that other people have written, and then voting on it when you really drill down to the job of a US representative or senator. Those are the three big things, okay? Everything else is kinda whatever, but you at least gotta do two of those three things. Well, Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted publicly, and you know, in full transparency, she says that she didn't actually read that big beautiful budget bill that she voted for just two weeks ago. Didn't read it, but don't worry, folks, even though she voted for it without reading it, now she has read it and she's freaking the hell out because it turns out there's actually a lot of things in there that she doesn't like.
And again, she would've known that if she had read it before voting to pass it. But, you know, eh, can't expect him to do everything. They only got three things to do, and she could only do one of those three things, which is to vote on it without reading it. She didn't write it. But let's also be crystal clear that this is a bill that's been worked on in the house for months, okay? You didn't have to sit down the night before the vote and cram it all in at once. You actually could have just read it as it was being written and revised and changed. I know that's a lot of reading, Marge, but you could have done that, but you didn't even do that. So she got on social media this week and said this, full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 2 78 to 2 79 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years.
I am adamantly opposed to this, and it is a violation of state rights. And I would have voted no if I would've known this was in
There. But there there's no way you could have known, right? You just, you just could not have known that this was in the bill you were supposed to read before you voted ons. Nothing you could have done.
We have no idea what a uh, AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free reign and tying state's hands is potentially
Dangerous. And she's
Demanding that the, that part of the bill be stripped out in the Senate.
Okay, so you didn't wanna do your job, so now you're like, Senate, I messed
Up. You gotta cover
For me. You
Gotta do what I refuse to do.
If ever the good people of Georgia needed just any excuse whatsoever to vote this woman out of office, this would be it. Okay? Maybe you buy into her conspiracies, I'm assuming, given the margins of which she's constantly reelected, you do believe in her conspiracy theories. Can we at least all agree that if you can't do the job and she admitted I can't do the job, I can't read, don't you think that that's a deal breaker? No matter how you feel about her, if you love her, if you hate her, if you love her conspiracy theories, if you hate 'em, whatever it is, none of that matters. If they're not willing to read the legislation that they're voting on, that alone should cost her her job, voters of Georgia. But you are the only people on the planet that can actually make that happen.
