WASHINGTON – A fit-to-be-tied Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) today called the removal of George Santos from the House of Representatives “shameful.” Her posting on X, formerly Twitter, also declared that “Republican voters want us to stop the communist Democrat’s agenda…” Greene continued her rant, focusing mostly on the potential loss of a Republican-held seat to a Democrat in an upcoming special election, rather than on Santos’ character.
An hour later Rep. Greene posted again on X, indicating she would campaign for former senator Joseph McCarthy to replace Santos. “Joe and I will work hard to root out the communist Democrats in all levels of our government,” she wrote. McCarthy is famously known for leading Senate hearings in the 1950s that accused politicians and public figures of being secret members of the Communist party. He died in 1957.
When it was pointed out to Greene that McCarthy is no longer alive, she replied that she had a plan to use “a Jewish space laser” to reanimate his exhumed corpse “like they did with lightning in that documentary about Frankenstein.” Greene revealed, after being pressed for details, that she was referring to Young Frankenstein, the 1974 Mel Brooks comedy film.
Rep. Greene looked worried about strong competition for Santos’ seat when she was told of Donald Trump saying that “Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more.”
