It's really good that Georgia has two fantastic new Democratic Senators to boast about. Otherwise, the Peach State would be simply consumed by its newest embarrassment, freshman Republican House member Marjorie Taylor Greene. This nutty woman has had more "ink" (a quaint term from the days when there was only print media) than we can track in the space of a week. But that's what happens when you're off-the-charts crazy.
We've refrained from commenting on Greene because part of us didn't want to add to the cacophony. Besides, you just know she loves the attention, so why give it to her? Apparently the White House agrees with us, too.
But now the political world has reached a point of no return. It's clear that Greene isn't going to follow Hillary Clinton's example of how to behave when you first arrive on Capitol Hill: Keep your head down, find mentors, learn the ropes, be responsible, do the job.
Nope, Greene has decided her best path as a new member of the club is to flout rules, pack heat, dodge the metal detectors, resist masks, and threaten colleagues. And be unrepentant about it all. (Although she's frantically scrubbing endorsements of violence from her social media posts. Marjorie doesn't understand that the internet is forever.)
In response, Congressman Jimmy Gomez from California has introduced a resolution to have Greene expelled. Representatives Sara Jacobs, also of California, and Nikema Williams of Georgia are demanding Greene's resignation (on pain of expulsion if she refuses to comply). Between that and today's dust-up with Congresswoman Cori Bush of Missouri, this seems to be building to a head.
If you're hoping that this idiot woman's behavior will cause the Republican Party to have a come-to-Jesus moment on embracing racists and mountebanks like Greene and Donald Trump, you're going to be disappointed. If Greene is run out of town on a rail, it will be a question of human resources, not ideology. Greene and other nutjobs like Lauren Boebert from Colorado and Paul Gosar from Arizona have made the House of Representatives a hostile workplace. Which will allow the GOP to dodge the issue once again. We cats HISS.
