Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Saturday that America is facing “an enemy within.”
She singled out socialist “America Last” policies—apparently referring to the opposite of former President Donald Trump’s America First agenda, in a string of Twitter posts.
“Yes there is an enemy within,” she wrote. “And that enemy is a poisonous rot of socialist policies and America last sell outs who are pompous hypocrites that believe they are untouchable elites.”
By using the term “enemy within,” Greene seemed to be responding to recent remarks made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
She told reporters that the House needs more money for security because of an enemy within the House. “I have said this all along, that we will probably need a supplemental for more security for Members when the enemy is within the House of Representatives, a threat that Members are concerned about, in addition to what is happening outside,” Pelosi said Thursday during a press conference.
She later elaborated that she was referring to House members who want to bring firearms on the Chamber floor.
“It means that we have Members of Congress who want to bring guns on the Floor and have threatened violence on other Members of Congress,” she explained.
Pelosi’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comments from The Epoch Times. The authorities enhanced security measures at the Capitol after some protesters and rioters stormed the building on Jan. 6. The new measures include metal detectors near the entrance of the House Chambers, controversial fences around the capitol, and the continued presence of National Guard troops.
Lawmakers are permitted to carry firearms within the Capitol complex, with proper permits in place, but are not permitted to do so on the House or Senate floors.
At least one House member set off a metal detector near the entrance of the House chamber with a firearm after its installation.
Earlier this month, Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) reportedly set off a newly installed metal detector while trying to enter the House chamber and was found to be carrying a concealed gun, the ABC News reported.
At least someone has the starch to say so.
AOC has a hard time comprehending why B comes after A in the alphabet
“AOC has a hard time comprehending why B comes after A in the alphabet”
I’m not sure why.
I love that when she’s at the podium in chambers her masks say, “Trump won”, “Stop the steal”, etc. Stickin’ to the Muslim freaks with heads wrapped in rags, or hair totally shaved off. Those RATs — especially the females — look the bar scene of Star Wars.
I like this woman. She doesn’t seem afraid to speak her mind
to borrow a phrase, speaking truth to power.
They’re beyond socialists. They’re full blown commie Marxists.
Bttt.
5.56mm
because it’s moving forward not backwards...
A Republican fighting back?
This must be a dream.
How long before the GOP leadership destroys her?
Green had some pointed questions about the unseemly ties between California politicians and the contractors for the high speed rail debacle.
Somehow the media pinkos construed them as being “anti-Semitic.” Read what she wrote. It contained nothing even remotely anti-Semitic.
Yes, there is an enemy within.
It's obama!!!!
Exactly, she fights.
In 1960 Robert F. Kennedy’s book the Enemy Within came out.
Subtitle was The McClellan Committee’s Crusade Against Jimmy Hoffa and Corrupt Labor Unions.
Note this forthcoming volume for THIS year:
The Enemy Within: How a Totalitarian Movement is Destroying America By David Horowitz (”April, 2021” pub. date).
Pelosi is on the cover with Sanders and other mugs.
She may regret dredging up that phrase when it is applied to her and her leftist cronies.
It’s wonderful that she fights!!!!
Now if she could just forget about QAnon, but keep fighting against the biden administration tyranny!!!!
Maybe Greene will run for US Senate in 2022.
Put her in Liz Cheney’s place.
Good on her!
And good on Andy Harris. :D Wish I was in his district instead of all the other MD districts being Dem/commie.
Yes there is a enemy within and his name is Kevin McCarthy, the so called “minority leader of the House”. A person whom can’t seem to get up the courage to fight these insane demonrats and needs to step down for the good of this country, NOW!
Many of us here understood what McCarthy was when he was put into that position and we were against it. McCarthy is a mouse, a pipsqueak and not qualified to lead a party.
Dump McCarthy NOW! Otherwise, he will continue to drag the republican party into the deep dark hole of history.
