So with yesterday’s big news empty green once again has decided to let her freak flag fly. Yeah she posted an upside down flag on twitter. When are her and her cult member friends going to just admit that they hate America because they don’t think they have enough power?

She’s just trying to keep up with the cool kids. I bet the first time she’d learned about the upside-down flag thing was when they started talking about it on the news.

>
> Dr. Anthony Fauci said Marjorie Taylor Greene's criticisms of him during a congressional hearing on Monday had increased the number of death threats he receives.

> Monday’s hearing quickly deteriorated into partisan attacks, with Fauci facing the most hostility from Greene, a Georgia Republican. She refused to address him as “doctor,” called for him to be prosecuted “for crimes against humanity” and said he “belongs in prison.”

You can decide for yourself, here is a link to a [post](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day-part-3/986588/5510) in the Stupid Repbulcian thread, that has the complete exchange.

Basically MTG does the usual committee hearing strategy where she pretends to ask Faucci questions, but doesn’t actually give him any chance to answer because all that she really wants to do is grandstand with baseless accusations on Posterboard. Then there is a bit of back and forth among the committee members because she makes a big scene about refusing to call him “Doctor”. 🙄

“You’re not a doctor on _my_ time!” – MTG to Dr. Fauci

I loved the interview someone gave MTG afterwards. She’s such a whiny crybaby whose feelings were hurt because she wasn’t given any respect at the committee.

She got more respect than she deserves. Even the Republicans were embarrassed by her.

> Anthony Fauci gets death threats after Marjorie Taylor Greene’s remarks

This is part of what bugs me. What kind of lame-ass MAGAt has to wait until Empty G grandstands to send death threats? I mean, if I were the type to send death threats, I’d like to think I could come up with people to threaten all on my own. I don’t need to wait for some political idiot to tell me who to threaten!

Get a life, losers!

He should have called her _Mr._ Greene. But seriously, I wish Fauci and others sitting before her would not just sit there meekly and take shit from this bitch. By now she doesn’t deserve the respect. I don’t think civilization would crumble if a witness called her out, or just laughed in her face.

Fauci’s been dealing with this kind of backlash since he had the audacity to do research on HIV/AIDS in the 80s. I get the feeling he’s learned that it’s easiest to just let the other person run around in circles until they’re out of breath and then go back to whatever he was doing.

No, but I don’t see Fauci as one to waste his energy on her, or sink to within 5 circles of her level of hell.

Me, I wouldn’t have the self-control.

“And you’re not a serious person” would be better. That’s really all the response any of her crap deserves. There’s no point in trying to set the facts straight, because she’ll never admit she’s wrong about everything.

Just keep pointing out that she’s not a serious person, and ignore everything she says.

Channel Marshawn Lynch. “I’m only here so I won’t get fined.”

Isn’t Fauci retired? Why does he even bother to show up?
