*I'm not a MTG fan*

But TSF sucks for basically telling her she deserves the threats her college aged son is getting from MAGA Maniacs. No one deserves that.

Or anything bad.

It has to happen to them personally.

However, she stalked and harassed a teenager, David Hogg, after a school shooting. I am glad that she seems to be doing the right thing now, though I am not about to forgive her for that or the other crap she pulled over the years.

Trump targeting his “enemies” and the threats and intimidation that followed was ok with Marge until she was on the receiving end of his venomous rage revenge .. now not so much..

it might be worth something. But I'll bet even today she sees a "difference" in her actions and the stalking being done to her son. They are ALWAYS the victim, regardless... and whatever they do to someone else has a perfectly sane reason... (argh!)

Hard to believe she's sincere now if she can't own up to her shitty past behavior and at least say "I was wrong".

She didn't have a care in the world when she inspired the MAGAs to go after David Hogg, did she?

She made enough money to afford security.

Marjorie Taylor Greene spent $65,000 in campaign funds on home fence


Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene reportedly spent more than $65,000 of her campaign funds installing a fence at her home, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Ms Greene's schedule B itemized disbursements show her various campaign expenditures. Included in that list is a $65,257.49 payment to Bartow Fence Company Inc for the installation of an "additional security fence for residence."

The expenditure is not illegal; FEC rules allow candidates to spend campaign funds on personal security. However, the cost of the fence is more than $10,000 more than the median household income in her district, according to RawStory.

HomeAdvisor estimates that a typical homeowner spends between $1,400 and $4,500 on fence installation. Even if a special security fence cost ten times the high-end average amount, it would still be less than Ms Greene spent on her fence.

He was a survivor of a school shooting and as a result he came out in favor of gun restrictions. Also, remember how she protested the restriction of guns in the house chamber and refused to walk through metal detectors and was fined for more than one violation.

We need to come to a basic agreement as a society that it’s unacceptable to threaten people because we disagree with them. Unfortunately that’s the culture Donald Trump has heralded and, MTG was fine with for some time.

I am glad she is speaking out about this though. Better late than never I suppose. She should apologize to David Hogg for her harassing him a few years ago.

...MAGA ever did in her name and the name of TSF. I believe she reveled in it.

If there is an ounce of sympathy for her or anyone she cares about in my body it would be a surprise.

And I hate that more than anything....

It is good to see that she continues to support the trump-Epstein victims.

Yes, she has done things I have despised, even to the point of calling her the b____ word a while back. Her more recent interviews are more lucid than in the past although she still has some hard-right moments.

I am hoping she is weening away from the MAGA world. If so, I think an apology to David Hogg will be forthcoming.

As for MAGA threats to her son, it is inexcusable.
