Yet, as I understand she had received a standing ovation from other Republicans, she still has a big fan following.

Democrats have been clinging to some pretty nutty conspiracy theories of their own.

Was that only for House committees? If so, then the Senate should do the same for their committees.

Claiming moral equivalency between one group's immoral acts and those of another group is a null defense.

We now live in a Clown World where Marjorie Taylor Green is to "Dangerous" to be on committees but Eric Swalwell who literally banged a Chinese spy isn't.

My bad, I should have said the Democrats are clinging to delusions, not conspiracies.

In December 2020, Swalwell was named in a report about suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang. Axios reported that Fang participated in fundraising for Swalwell's 2014 congressional election bid, met Swalwell at events, and helped place an intern inside Swalwell's congressional office. Axios also reports that U.S. officials do not believe that Swalwell or others gave the woman classified information.

Do you have any evidence that he "banged" her, or did you just make that one up too?

Please elaborate and provide proof, if you think you can. Remember, at least 50 judges have dismissed claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Mr. Trump due to lack of evidence.

It would be easier for you to admit that you have no proof than to engaging in trollish behavior by virtue-signaling.

That is correct.
Greene apologizes to GOP colleagues — and gets standing ovation

Quote:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) apologized for her past controversial remarks and embrace of the QAnon conspiracy theory during a heated closed-door House GOP conference meeting — and received a standing ovation at one point from a number of her colleagues.

Greene told her colleagues that she made a mistake by being curious about “Q” and said she told her children she learned a lesson about what to put on social media, according to two sources in the room.

She also denied that she knew what Jewish space lasers were and defended her comments that past school shootings were staged by stating that she had personal had personal experience with a school shooting.

She received a standing ovation from some members of the caucus at the conclusion of her remarks.

There are no words

What makes her statements on school gunmen more baffling is her own personal experience.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She Understands Fear Students Have After Own School Experience With Gunman

Quote:

I understand how terrible it is.... One of my schoolmates brought guns to school and took our entire school hostage, and that happened right down the hall from my classroom," Greene told her colleagues on the House floor. She was speaking of an incident that happened when she was 16 years old and in the 11th grade.

Greene graduated from South Forsyth High School in Cumming, Georgia, in 1992

Reports from the time show that no one was injured during the school's ordeal, but 17-year-old sophomore, who was armed with a rifle, shotgun and a pistol, held two classes—53 people combined—at gunpoint.

Nine of Greene's classmates were held hostage for more than five hours, the reports said. Addis was eventually taken into custody after "becoming dizzy and giving up the siege," the Associated Press reported at the time.

From what I know of her, this is a very good thing.
