MTG Laughably Claims Cultists Never Call For Violence

Mediaite reports:

“You’ve written several books on right-wing extremism,” Greene said. “I couldn’t find any of your work studying left extremism or Antifa or BLM.” Cynthia Miller-Idriss, an expert on political extremism, responded by saying far-right extremism is “the most lethal threat” in the United States.

“Dr, Miller, just real quick. I’m out of time, but would you consider Trump supporters extremist?” Greene said. “We are worried about violent extremism,” Miller-Idriss replied. “Trump supporters, specifically,” Greene pressed.

“If they’re calling for violence, it doesn’t matter to me who they support,” Miller-Idress said. Greene shot back, “So you haven’t seen any. By the way, there’s a great rally in Iowa this weekend if you wanna study people and what they believe.”

The linked piece closes by noting the Greene was booted off her committees during her first term, in part because of her online support for violence against prominent Democrats, including once liking a Facebook post calling for Nancy Pelosi to be shot in the head. And as JMG regulars know, this site has reported literally hundreds of violent incidents, including mass shootings, committed by avowed Trump supporters. Right this minute, on Trump’s Truth Social, you can find thousands of posts calling for executing his perceived enemies.
