MTG Calls For Dissolving The United States: “Divorce”

February 20, 2023 Extremists, Republicans

A far-right Republican congresswoman suggested the U.S. go through a “national divorce” on Presidents Day. “We need a national divorce,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., tweeted on Monday.

Given that Democrats have won the last four statewide federal elections in Georgia, I wonder which red state she’s planning to move to? https://t.co/A7A3GtwJ3c

Fun fact: Red states receive far more federal dollar expenditures than they contribute in taxes. Blue states contribute more in taxes than they receive. Red states depend on blue states to get the federal funding they need to survive, but sure, go for it. https://t.co/GEyKlnlOph
