  On the one hand, she's a pathological liar.  On the other, she's incredibly stupid.  So is she stupid enough to forget her own public statements?  Or is she lying about being that stupid?  This is what the GQP stands for: being so stupid and dishonest it's impossible to tell anymore.
context: Just in case it's too subtle...invoking the Rothschild family is the go-to codeword for the antisemetic trope of a cabal of powerful Jewish families secretly controlling the world.
  Accusing the Rothschilds of being involved has been a dog whistle for I BET THE JEWS ARE BEHIND THIS for literal decades. >
  
  These days, invoking “Soros” is the same thing. >
  
  How would one accuse the Rothchild family/Soros without being antisemitic? >
  
  Discuss the problem behavior.  Don't just use the name absent any context. >
  
  What exactly is Soros’ problem behavior? >
  
  I understood that someone was asking "If mentioning someone (Soros, etc) is anti semitic how are we supposed to even discuss their wrongdoings?".  To properly discuss them without being anti semitic one should be specific about what they're doing and why they perceive it as being wrong.
  I don't keep up enough to know which behaviors are wrong or even problematic of those specific people. >
  
  She probably means she doesn't know the exact details of their deployment.  By the Jews. >
  
  Well of course not. They're written in Hebrew, past down for thousands of years since the space aliens helped to build them. >
  
  I laughed... But then I realized that the people who support Greene are exactly the kind of people who would eat up that ancient aliens bullshit. >
  
  What an utterly hypocritical coward. She does not even have the guts to stand up for her own comments. >
  
  cognitive-dissonance is a conflict in the mind that one suffers when several held beliefs conflict. this crop of right-wingnut folk dont suffer; they hold conflicting and wildly wrong beliefs with no ill effect whatsoever, willingly and gleefully. 
  edit to add: crank magnetism >
  
  So, can all of these contradictory statements from her be used to prove she's mentally unfit for office,  because that seems to be the case. >
  
  not to OP: 
  proof is for court. the only 'crime' she commits publicly is being an unfriendly being, with horrible words, and horrible ideas... all aimed towards horrible goals. 
  go ahead; ask what her goals are. I dare anyone. >
  
  I don't think you have to commit a crime to be mentally unfit, though. >
  
  Federal separation of powers makes it a Legislative and political act to declare someone unfit (the House or Senate respectively have to vote for it).
  That means that whoever controls the votes in the chamber controls the ability to censure or remove members.
  For a very long time Rs (and some Ds) have eroded ethical oversight and consequences from any such discoveries to the point where ethics are not enforced by the chambers, only the voters.
  That’s the only remaining ethical check on behavior in our legislative branch. (Actual illegality that covers them, on the other hand, is investigated by the executive and judged by the Judicial). But there’s only one law making you ineligible to serve, that’s insurrection. >
  
  Oh hey I remember when she said that when my town burned down >
  
  Ugh. I am sorry. She is an ill-mannered, beastly woman. Politicians should not delight in the suffering of others, yet here we are. If I had to go through what happened to your family and so many other families and then hear things like that, I would have a very hard time not giving in to to my worst impulses. >
  
  Really I roll my eyes at her, she's pretty absurd >
  
  Literal gaslighting. Proof is on video but she claims otherwise. >
  
  Crazy to think that she said that stuff and other outlandish shit and was handily re-elected.  I travel through the Atlanta area a few time a a year.  I’ll never stop to buy anything in her district. >
  
  While I agree with your sentiment, as someone who's lived in Atlanta, I feel the need to point out her district is outside of what's generally considered metro Atlanta.
  She's not one of ours. That's where banjo country begins. >
  
  Not that there's anything wrong with banjo. >
  
  Or Kazooie >
  
  Eh, there's some rumors about Kazooie. >
  
  Yeah, I heard about that. Crazy shit. >
  
  That poor ostrich..... >
  
  Allegedly. >
  
  
  So why does the trending phrase have the word “Jewish” in front of it? Well, Taylor Greene’s post suggested that the Rothschild banking firm is behind a supposed corporate cabal that engineered this whole space laser plot. Ah, of course, the old Rothschild family explanation again. As Zack Beauchamp wrote for Vox, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about the Rothschild family controlling the world have frequently surfaced in the past. Beauchamp explained that this was not “an isolated anti-Semitic incident for Greene.” In fact, the Editorial Board for USA TODAY wrote that “her Facebook account contained racist, Islamophobic and anti-Semitic views,” which doesn’t sound very nice. Beauchamp stated that Taylor Greene’s “space laser” theory is “the latest in a long line of conspiracies about the Rothschild family, and those conspiracies are always, at root, anti-Semitic: Since the 19th century, people have used claims that this one particular wealthy family controls the world to cast aspersions on Jews in general.”

  Oh, look. Receipts! >
  
  Wild, the past. Remember when republicans tried to say that kids who got shot at school were crisis actors? >
  
  Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of them. >
  
  She’s a liar. >
  
  Her constituents and supporters do not care that SHE is a liar. Magic "R" hard at work. >
  
  I mean... She's right. She never used that phrase. She said Rothschild's funded Space Laser. Huge difference!!!  /s >
  
  That's literally what they're going with lol. >
  
  "OKay, let's play exhibit A, please..."
  "Now, hold on just a moment..." >
  
  
  “If you want to win the war on Christmas, first you take out the person who makes Christmas possible,” Greene said. “As I speak, Jewish space lasers are being trained on the North Pole.” >
  
  We must internalize how irrational the GOP has become. Identity. Red at all costs.
  It is socially impossible to be Blue in a community of Red. Our need for belonging is so strong that nothing else matters.
  Logic/reason/facts/debate is completely irrelevant now. We need to accept this and work with it. I don't know how, but it needs a different approach
  One idea... crash the party. We are all Republicans now. Dilute the crazy. If we coordinate each state and move in unison, Dems could take over the GOP. Leave a couple progressives in minority as the new Dems. 
  The GOPs primary process is a massive weakness that doesn't need that many people to turn on its head. >
  
  Libertarians just about managed this trick with a tiny New Hampshire town and managed to turn it into a libertarian fantasy land with virtually no public services and people being mauled by bears for a few years. I don't think you're coordinating even thousands of liberals to move to conservative hellholes to swamp local politics, much less the tens of thousands you'd actually need, but without Elon Musk levels of money you're willing to piss away to try getting it done. >
  
  kthxbye >
  
  If she’s going to give a series of speeches on things she knows nothing about, she’ll be swamped. >
  
  I insist MTG knows nothing >
  
  That is why we need an independent investigation and special prosecutor.   Maybe some hearings and subpoenas.
  so empty green can find out the truth. >
  
  On what grounds? Being a stupid incendiary asshole isn't illegal, even if you're a member of Congress. >
  
  Pretty sure it was satire because that is exactly what the republicans are doing for a bunch of nonsense reasons. >
  
  MTG may not know they exist or don't exist, but that won't stop her from spewing conspiracy theories about them. Who believes she cares about truth? She and Santos must be great chums by now. >
  
  I’ve got the receipts that say otherwise. Fucking lying is all she knows how to do >
  
  Jewish Space Laser Lady clearly has severe memory issues >
  
  She can insist all she wants, but the internet never forgets. >
  
  Well sure. When has that ever stopped her from talking about something? >
  
  Blissful ignorance mixed with cognitive dissonance. Her brain must be tired going through these mental gymnastics. >
  
  She'd have to have one in order for it to be tired >
  
  Somebody needs to tell the interwebs are FOREVER. God help us these people are dumb. >
  
  The aliens must have got into her head >
  
  She did say that they aren't a people that are going to go quietly into the night. It's really those darned lizard creativity lasers! >
  
  After all, this is America. The land where you can make hideous claims and boldface lies to the public on film and then deny it ever happened…. And they believe you. >
  
  More GOP's scientific ignorance coupled with religious bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, and racism. >
  
  Ummm, she obviously just doesn't want to get zapped. >
  
  So…do we need to go to the video? >
  
  Fuck, thisGazpacho Queef >
  
  Ah the old don’t believe your eyes and ears trick    Conservatives always fall for. I suppose she doesn’t know it doesn’t work on most normal people. Next up her and David Hogg were good friends.
