Marjorie Taylor Greene says GOP is “weak” in the face of Democrats who “sexually groom our children”

While many observers are saying that Republican losses in Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky in this week’s off-year elections were due to the unpopularity of abortion bans supported by GOP candidates, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has another theory: Republicans are “tone deaf and weak” in the face of pedophilic, communist Democrats, and voters are punishing them for not being conservative enough.

“Republicans are losing Republican voters because the base is fed up with weak Republicans who never do anything to actually stop the communist democrats,” she said on X, stressing that her party didn’t lose this week due to “abortion itself.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene gets House GOP to cut Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1 over his sexuality

Citing homophobic lies and false Facebook videos, Greene got her colleagues to vote to cut Buttigieg’s salary.

She said that the GOP wants to “play nice” with a Democratic party that violates conservatives’ free speech on social media (she didn’t explain how this is the fault of Democrats instead of tech companies), uses the criminal justice system to persecute conservatives, allows “terrorists” to cross the Southern border into the U.S., and “sexually grooms our children to the point they are cutting off their own body parts to ‘change their gender’ before they are even finished growing up.”

“Grooming” refers to a set of techniques used by child sex abusers to gain access to children and to keep them from telling others about the abuse. Greene has said in the past that she believes that Democrats are pedophiles. She is also a believer in the QAnon conspiracy theory, which states that there is an international Satanic cabal of pedophiles led by Hillary Clinton and Tom Hanks that Donald Trump is trying to stop.

When it comes to abortion rights, Greene then said that people don’t vote to support reproductive freedom. Instead, they’ve been lied to by Democrats who say “abortion is women’s healthcare and a right,” Greene said, and apparently people mindlessly believed that and then went to vote this past Tuesday.

“Calling this ongoing genocide ‘healthcare’ is an abomination and political lie that democrats use in order to manipulate women to vote for them and continue the child sacrifices that enable democrats to maintain power,” she wrote. “There is nothing more evil.”

Despite Greene’s argument, reproductive freedom activists celebrated the wins as a sign that people support abortion rights. In Ohio, voters approved Issue 1, a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive healthcare. In Virginia, after Gov. Greg Youngkin (R) promised to sign a 15-week abortion ban if Republicans took control of the state legislature, Democrats won big and took control of both chambers. And in Kentucky, voters reelected their pro-choice Gov. Andy Beshear (D).

“Ohio is the first state that I really think we can put in that red column that has said, ‘We can go on offense, and we can win,'” Fairness Project Executive Director Kelly Hall told NPR. Her organization helped push for the abortion protections in Ohio. “And that is an inspiring example that shines a light on the path for other red states.”
