They applauded her after she apologized for promoting QAnon.
It’s incredible how rather than indulge in a microsecond of self reflection, people like you just latch onto the most extreme caricature of your opponents that your media vendors can muster, ignoring the substantive reality.
- cozuya 6y agoSource? Also, looks like you might have missed this one. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26021189 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26021189
- cozuya 6y agoSo no source then?
- Tycho 6y agoThe source was the Vice article linked in the Twitter thread you posted. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en/article/bvxbn3/republicans-wont-punish-qanon-congresswoman-marjorie-taylor-greene https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en/article/b... I don’t want to keep spending time on this. My position is that QAnon is a fringe internet phenomenon that is a total unknown to most people. Of the people who do have some knowledge of it, few take it seriously. A few crazies do, sure. But its somber elevation to grave significance by the liberal media is totally ridiculous (and gave it more attention than it ever would have gotten otherwise).
- cozuya 6y agoDid a few crazies invade the capitol in attempt to hang the Vice President, causing 5 deaths? Did a few crazies elect MTG, who advocates for murdering Nancy Pelosi, and then refuses to censor her/remove her from commitees? You can minimize this stuff all you want and deflect blame to librul media, but YOUR PARTY (that you have constantly defended in these threads) is and holds these positions. The Republican party is the party of murdering their political foes, even ones in their own party. The Republican party is the party of Barack Obama is a Muslim (something MTG has said on video and refuses to retract). Just own it.
- cozuya 6y agoWeird that you didn't disavow hanging Mike Pence. Strange!
- Tycho 6y agoYour game of loose association, where just because some individual made some outlandish remarks in the past, or they “liked” something objectionable on social media, then anyone who voted for them or share a political party with them or didn’t disavow them to your satisfaction must therefore also agree with those things and substantively back them as a matter of policy - is facile. Btw, dismissing things as “whataboutism” isn’t an effective argument, its just an admission of hypocrisy.
- cozuya 6y agoWhy even bother clicking reply and typing out words, when you don't actually reply to what was said? What a waste of your time.
- TylerE 6y agoIf she did it IN PUBLIC instead of allegedly doing so behind closed doors, maybe I'd think she was only 99% human garbage.
