Marjorie Taylor Greene introduces bill to award Kyle Rittenhouse highest congressional honor
Washington Examiner ^ | November 24, 2021 | Virginia Aabram

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is sponsoring a bill to grant Kyle Rittenhouse the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest honor the legislative branch can bestow.

The Georgia Republican introduced the bill Tuesday following Rittenhouse's acquittal of all charges in the killing of two men during riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last year. The bill's summary says the legislation will "award a Congressional Gold Medal to Kyle H. Rittenhouse, who protected the community of Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a Black Lives Matter (BLM) riot on August 25, 2020."

There are still a few stiff spines left in Congress. I approve.

This should make the liberal Democrat’s heads spin and have them spewing green jello.

Good, good.

What Kyle did was what thousands of Kenosha men should have been doing.

He stepped up to the plate.

Speaking of funny, did you catch what Matt Gaetz said?

A spokesman for Matt Gaetz told The Washington Post: “We are concerned that awarding Kyle with a Congressional Gold Medal will give him a big head during the internship with our office.”

and I would add to the citations words like:

“.....knowingly sacrificing himself to great harm and danger from a violent well-armed mob of rioters...”

She’ll be lucky to get a majority of the GOP to back her up.

.....it’s amazing to me how with our country’s very existence on the line that two women (Boebert and Greene) consistently show more spine and gravitas, integrity and love of country than all the Republican men in Congress put together!

Happy Thanksgiving to Lauren and Marjorie!! Keep up the good work ladies!!! Millions of us Love You!!!

“...will give him a big head....”

If he were to get a “big head,” he would be among many other “big heads.” Who would be able to recognize it???

Absolutely incendiary, and I can’t wait to see Pelosi’s meltdown! It’ll be like the Wicked Witch of the West!

I think that’s a great idea. You can bet that there will only be one or two more “republicans” voting for it, the rest will join the democrats to vote no.
