Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene - the controversial, far-right Georgia congresswoman who lost her committee assignments earlier this year for endorsing political violence - just wrote a 17-tweet long Twitter thread that outlined several areas of "common ground" between her and the Nation of Islam.
"One of the benefits as a Member of Congress is visiting different types government facilities to provide oversight," she wrote on Twitter. "On my recent visit to the DC Jail one of the things I picked up was some religious material."
SNIP
Greene said that prisoners are offered "religious material," choosing between "Christain [sic] and Islam," and said that she saw newspapers operated by the Nation of Islam, a Black nationalist organization designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, distributed to some prisoners. "I feel it's important to know what people read and are subjected to while in jail," she wrote.

If this plays out like a lot of folks on here claim, there’s gonna be a squad of FReepers and a squad from Calypso Louie. The rest of us are toast, LOL.
One anti-Semitic tag coming up. Why oh why did she go there?
I must have missed the part where she was promoting violence.
But I caught Antifa, waters, Floyd’s nephew and others doing it
News report of course lies in the first paragraph.
Does this take away the narrative of the anti vaxxed being White Nationalist now?
Probably true, and true for a lot of people, but why was it necessary to say it?
“just wrote a 17-tweet long Twitter thread that outlined several areas of “common ground” between her and the Nation of Islam.”
Good grief. LOL.
She’s trying way to hard to be clever.
See post #6 for your answer.
Ah, the media. “Far right” is a common meme, but naturally, there are no “far left” folks out there.
Except for a good percentage of congress critters, the loathsome vermin in the White House, and the media.
Please, please, I volunteer to operate the guillotine for free following Bastille II.
17-tweet-long thread? Yay, a nice, long dogwhistle to Q.
No doubt when push comes to shove Nation of Islam is better off with us.
Still true. A good bar bet would be to have some Dem find examples of label "far left" in media for a given day or week. Then take the money and smile.
Beam me up to the Mother Plane, aka the Great Wheel.
“designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center”
Well, that IS the authority on such matters.
When one goes Left, they go Full Retard.
Going Full Retard never has positive results.
This muckraker betrays himself in the very first sentence.
Do these morons really not realize how transparent they are ?
“controversial, far-right”
Nope. No bias there.
The fact of the matter is that conservatives often agree on many things with a lot of people. It’s the tyrannical left that lies and does what they want and everyone be damned.
Take Bill Maher and his recent take on conservative circles lately. He’s a liberal but we agree on a lot of things. Tyrannical left, not so much.
