'Looks Like the Crazy Lady Has Logged On': Rep. Ilhan Omar Welcomes QAnon Conspiracy Theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene to Congress

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar on Friday welcomed to Congress Marjorie Taylor Greene—a Republican businesswoman who supports the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon, has a history of racist comments, and won a House seat in Georgia earlier this month—by offering some advice.

In response to Greene dragging up the unfounded Internet rumor that Omar married her brother, the congresswoman said, "Looks like the crazy lady has logged on."

"I know things might be different where you come from," Omar added to Taylor, "but you have to get off the looney train now that you are in Congress."

Omar is not playing nice with the lunatic fringe of Republicans.

[rainin]

1. Can't she be sanctioned by House leadership now that she's a member of that body? n/t

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. Rep. Omar is 1000% CORRECT....

She will make sure people know about this looney toon from Georgia.

[Chainfire]

3. We have danced around these nuts long enough

I say that we light into them like a swarm of hornets when they begin their silly shit. That goes double for the Traitor in Chief.

[OneBro]

35. I was thinking the exact same thing.

If they want to act like kooky goofballs, call them kooky goofballs.

[SunSeeker]

41. Exactly. It's just silly. What these Qidiots are saying is dangerous.

Their rube followers believethat shit, and have shot up a pizza parlor over this nonsense. They almost shot up the Philly counting center, but were intercepted just a block away.

[Biophilic]

4. Good

No more playing nice with these people. Nice doesn't work to either change their minds or get them to work with us. All it does is give me a stomach ache and I'm tired of it. These are awful people and they need to be treated as such. No more playing nice!

[XanaDUer2]

5. Amen

it's like half the country has to walk on eggshells around these loons or they'll be set off.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. That is the exact phrase that abused wives use to describe their spouses.

I've seen nothing but angry screaming yelling demanding threatening behavior from trump supporters. and he encourages that.
Part of the problem is the same behavior is on daytime tv shows....The View, for example, and whatever are the
Jerry Springer shows where people are encouraged to yell at each other.
Fox. of course, is THE hate pipeline, it's the network of the South. It's on 24/7 in a lot of homes.
You've got angry screaming over the top emotional tv, and angry screaming over the top parents, no wonder the kids grow up to think it's normal behavior.

they couldn't spell, much less act with, decorum.

[rickyhall]

22. Go ahead, set them off, we'll watch them explode.

[TNNurse]

26. Exactly, as they see in East TN. Let her show herself.

[LiberalArkie]

8. Being nice just makes them think they can get away with it

But.

[mitch96]

6. "Omar is not playing nice with the lunatic fringe of Republicans."

Good, she ain't messing around.. Call them on all their bullshit and make them prove it with, you know, like FACTS!!
m

[tazmaniac]

40. Oh SOOOOOO Agree!! We need to

call them immediately on every false thing they say. No more sitting quietly and politely-there has to be an immediate public response to all this crap they are spewing. I love the high road but it's not working----let's level the field!!

[mitch96]

44. Yup, like when tRump at the last press thingy said he won the election a person should have yelled

YOU LIE!......
he would have shit him self..
m

[CrispyQ]

7. Outstanding!

If our side had been responding like this to the right's outrageous claims for the last 40 years we wouldn't be in this clusterfuck now.

[FoxNewsSucks]

13. Yes!!!!

Can't stop them from spewing their bullshit, but there's not reason to treat them as anything but the partisan crackpot assholes they act like.

[iluvtennis]

9. Great response from Rep Ilhan Omar. nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

10. This RW crazy lady is no match for The Squad.

KY....... .......

[Botany]

18. I love it when "they" go after The Squad on social media.

It never works out for them because once on social media they are out of their "right wing Fox bubble"
and they get crushed.

[Lonestarblue]

11. I love it! All of Trump's supporters need to be told to get off the loony train!

[Evolve Dammit]

36. I agree, but ain't going to happen. 70 plus million as brain-washed as they can be.

[mjvpi]

12. Brains are the #1 requested gift this year at Citizens R US.

[Botany]

15. "but you have to get off the looney train now that you are in Congress."

[SheltieLover]

16. Play hardhall!

[ismnotwasm]

17. Nice!

[ancianita]

19. THE exact right approach to anyone with a law degree sitting in any chamber of Congress.

It's not even about Omar not playing nice. It's about reality based governance. That simple.

[bucolic_frolic]

20. Call out the crazy

and go silent on the sane. It's the only approach to separate these insane split personalities.

[TheBlackAdder]

21. Bachmann, Greene, Palin and others. So many to choose as who the Crazy Lady was.

[japple]

23. That's my rep!!! Down here in the 14th district of GA, we are so proud of her. Why, me and

Uncle Daddy were just talking the other day about how happy we are to finally have someone that thinks like us. We had to go out and fire off a few rounds just to celebrate how proud we are! (and lest anyone reading this thinks I'm serious, I'll just post the )

[Ford_Prefect]

24. You really have to wonder which committee wants her assigned there...

[alfredo]

45. Ethics. It's a 50-50 split, so it is deadlocked from the get go

It also attracts little lobbyist money

[calimary]

25. And we shouldn't, either (play nice with the lunatic fringe in Congress).

[barbtries]

27. someone who publicly accused her of incest with her brother?

an entirely appropriate response imo

[Evolve Dammit]

42. seriously?? I don't doubt it, just normal spewage for Cult 45, Q-Anon followers

[barbtries]

47. i'm saying

that the response was appropriate for the Qidiot's spreading that noxious bullshit.

[Evolve Dammit]

48. You're absolutley right. Just shocked at the accusation. Like the pizza parlor DC BS. On and on BS

There's your real fake news. All over the blather-sphere. I just can't believe that anyone believes it.

[barbtries]

49. it is endlessly shocking.

there's nothing too ridiculous for them to believe. and there's so many of them. jeez

[Evolve Dammit]

50. yeah. I grow weary but we can't. We have generations coming behind that won't know unless we do it.

Thanks Barb. Hope you have a good Thanksgiving however it looks this year.

[barbtries]

51. same to you!

i hope we all come out of this on the other side.

[birdographer]

54. The pinnacle for me

is that we are cannibals. I have tried to find the source for that but haven't had much luck. But it keeps coming up. I mean really, cannibals??? Do they know what the word means? Maybe they think it's someone who smokes a lot of weed.

[barbtries]

55. i think they know what it means,

considering that their belief apparently is that we eat babies. sigh.

[birdographer]

56. Ok, I don't get it

This is rhetorical, but why exactly would we eat babies? The mind reels.

[LuvNewcastle]

60. We eat babies to cover up the evidence

after we molest them! Didn't they teach you anything at the Democratic Party Sabbat?

[birdographer]

61. Ok, so

do we roast them, or is it a grilling thing? Or a sushi thing? I'm so confused about how we eat the babies. What kind of a side goes best with babies? Have they mentioned ANY of this to help me???? Could they specify a little better than just "babies"? Sheesh.

[LuvNewcastle]

62. You might as well ask me how many ways you can serve chicken.

I could write a book on Democrats and Satan worship and child molesting and cannibalism. A big, thick, book. There's a book with a lot of this information at Miskatonic University in Arkham, Mass. They keep it under lock and key along with the Necronomicon. Then there's the Book of Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows, but all those copies are in collectors' hands. Start sending monthly checks to the DNC and more will be revealed.

[Kali]

59. it is the ultimate taboo

all about "othering"

[blueinredohio]

28. She should have said' " I heard they only do that in Georgia."

[colorado_ufo]

29. Let's not offend all of Georgia.

We would really like two Senators from that state.

Focus the spotlight where the spot is - the looney lady.

[BainsBane]

30. "you have to get off the looney train now that you are in Congress."

Since when?

[liberaltrucker]

31. Exhibit A: Louie Gohmert

[stopdiggin]

38. 'xactly!

I'll point to a whole party full of people who don't believe in such things as evolution and global warming ...... (or wearing masks)

[Evolve Dammit]

43. Is Louis fully recovered from C-19 and back to "work"?

[diva77]

32. K&R.

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. What are the current odds for Greene suddenly adapting to the world of adults?

Pretty long, I would imagine. It's hard to come back from QAnon, I hear. From any extreme cult, in fact.

[dustyscamp]

34. The girls in the squad are smarter than most of the people who hate on them.

[Paladin]

37. Outstanding work, Rep. Omar.

Treat them like the filth they so obviously are. No prisoners.

[Beartracks]

39. A cult of ignorance.

"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" ― Isaac Asimov

=============

[BComplex]

46. Where are our white sisters when this Georgia creep is saying something like that about Ilhan?

The brothers, too!

The white reps in congress ALSO need to tear that Qidiot a new one! There needs to be a whole shit storm against this kind of racism everywhere....but most ESPECIALLY in the people's house!!!

(gan)Greene needs to start wishing she had never run for office.

[Blue Owl]

52. K&R

[KentuckyWoman]

53. If Marjorie is all worried about inbreds....

she should have stayed in Georgia to fight the problem there. Georgia is 2nd only to Kentucky on that score.

[maxrandb]

57. It's time to stop "effing" around and refuse to seat some of these morons.

The House has the power to do so, and I dare one fucking Retrumplican to scream about how "unprecedented" it would be.

Seriously, the mentally ill, the racist, the fascists, the Nazis, the "Q" dipshits SHOULD NOT BE SEATED.

[LudwigPastorius]

58. I commend Rep. Omar for reaching across the aisle,...

to try and slap some sense into one of those bubble headed twits.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

63. There is no "fringe" of Republicans; it's lunatics all the way down.

[Upthevibe]

64. Good for Rep. Ilhan Omar...

This Marjorie Taylor Greene is a real piece of work....
