Many people would probably pride themselves on never agreeing with anything that Marjorie Taylor Greene ever says or does. And who would blame them?
So, you can understand the distress that’s been caused by the gun-loving, conspiracy-embracing Republican congresswoman’s latest media appearance – where she actually said something sane and reasonable about the unconscionable horror in Gaza, as well as the government shutdown in the US.
“They’re not Hamas. They’re literally women and children. And you can’t unsee the amount of pictures and videos of children that have been blown to pieces and are they’re finding them dead in the rubble. That isn’t—those aren’t actors, that isn’t fake war propaganda. It’s very… pic.twitter.com/UTcLOPlP5C

Referring to the suffering of the Palestinian people, she said:
“They’re not Hamas. They’re literally women and children. And you can’t unsee the amount of pictures and videos of children that have been blown to pieces and are they’re finding them dead in the rubble. That isn’t—those aren’t actors, that isn’t fake war propaganda. It’s very real.”
She also laid into her own party leadership – though not President Trump – for the ongoing shutdown of the US government.
Marjorie Taylor Greene: This should not be happening. As a member of Congress, we already have a low enough job approval rating, the shutdown is just going to drive everybody’s approval rating that much lower.

She said:
“We control the House, we control the Senate, we have the White House. I’ve been vocal saying you can use the nuclear option in the Senate. This doesn’t have to be a shutdown. But what we have to do is we have to work for the American people, and our country is so divided right now.”
Of course, other people are not buying MTG at face value.

“I can’t believe MTG is actually making sense.”
Yea it’s called grifting. Use your brain, have a spine and stop validating bs like this. https://t.co/VXTw48XREH

But, for the most part, people continue to be surprised by how MGT appears to be evolving as a voice of reason amid the current madness.

Marjorie Taylor Greene to CNN:
“They’re not Hamas. They’re literally women and children…
That isn’t fake war propaganda. It’s very real.”When even MTG is calling out the reality of Palestinian civilian deaths, you know the fiction is collapsing. pic.twitter.com/zO4sKONtfP

Not gonna say “welcome to the resistance MTG” (because fuck that noise, she’s in a fascist party), but statements like this should deeply shame over 100 Democratic congressional caucus members who would never consider humanizing Palestinians even this much. https://t.co/0cmxVrsW7e

Is there anyone who knows why she has become so much more sympathetic to concerns on this issue, as well as cognizant of working class economic issues? https://t.co/qdi0ATMLFv

It really is an indictment on the Democrats that they’ve been so spineless on this issue that Marjorie Taylor Green of all people is speaking with more moral clarity https://t.co/7U86oG1HbQ

Biggest surprise for me in years: that MTG has humanity, after all, and is even taking a leadership role on an important issue (in a good way). How contradictory and complex humans can be. https://t.co/qFihjbdONg

She’s right but also notice how the men are implied to be Hamas or at least not innocent civilians worthy of compassion? Half of those children grow to become men. We see videos of these young men caring for their wounded loved ones, for their remains. I really really hate this. https://t.co/UogFraYKEV
