Marjorie Taylor Greene accuses Guam National Guard troops of trying to "ambush" her with cookies

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., on Tuesday demanded that the Pentagon withdraw National Guard troops from the U.S. Capitol after accusing a delegate leading members of the Guam National Guard of trying to "ambush" her with treats and factual information.

Del. Michael San Nicolas, a nonvoting Democrat who represents the U.S. island territory of Guam in Congress, led a group of Guam National Guard members stationed at the Capitol to Greene's office on Monday with cookies and guidebooks after the freshman Republican had earlier referred to Guam as a foreign country.

Greene, who was not present at the time of the visit, responded by sending a letter to top Pentagon officials alleging a "dangerous and troubling trend" of lawmakers using members of the armed forces to "intimidate civilians, harass members of Congress and their staff and attack conservative journalists for expressing their views." The letter claims that San Nicolas and two dozen troops tried to "ambush my office unannounced and subsequently video record my staff without solicitation or consent."

Greene drew criticism earlier this month for describing the U.S. territory as a foreign country in comments she apparently made in a side room to a small group at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando last month after being snubbed from the main stage.

5. The greene traitor' s staffs in DC and GA are upset with me again. They don't seem to like

my views on the lying traitor for whom they work. I am crushed. Idiot in her ?DC office did not seem to know that the Guam delegation visited other offices.

[DBoon]

6. I kept hoping this was Borowitz

Ambush with cookies?

[Hugh_Lebowski]

10. When I saw the headline I was like 'oh, new Borowitz!?!'

This is freaking unbelievable.

[ret5hd]

7. Intimidate civilians with cookies..

harass members of Congress with politeness, and attack conservatives for spreading factual falsehoods.

My gawd, the stress that must put somebody through! Imagine what might have happened if the rioters took that tack instead of bear spray and lies...mayhem! Bloody mayhem!

[robbob]

8. And thus is one of the biggest challenges facing America revealed

in a single statement. Madge claims she was harassed and intimidated for “expressing her views”. Well, aside from the fact that having cookies brought is hardly what I would label harassment, her “view” that Guam is a foreign country is not in fact a “view” at all; it is a fallacy. Welcome to the GOP, where facts and “views” need not be tethered to any basis in reality.

11. She's the gift that keeps on giving !

[Leghorn21]

12. Delicious replies:

...Those cookies looked really scary


...Probably loaded with butter and she will no longer be a petite ballerina.


...Sounds like the beginning to a bad German porn movie I once saw. Twice
*hic*

AIR HIGH FIVE BRUH!

[marble falls]

13. She's going to have a mental collapse. I hope it's while she's on the Floor of the House. It'll ...

... be epic.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

14. I'm sure this is the story being promulgated on Faux/OANN, etc ...

'Biden sends military to threaten poor innocent MTG!!11!!'

If it hasn't been yet, it will be now that this letter has been sent.

Tucker tonight:
'Was Biden involved in sending those SOLDIERS to MTG's office? Just because she's not polite to the Left? That's what many people are asking tonight, and if he did, I think we have to consider whether that's an impeachable offense!'

Blah blah blah ...

[NurseJackie]

15. Nuts!

[Tbear]

16. Margie Q

Doubles down on her stupidity with a GQP favorite: “I am the victim here.”

[brush]

17. The dumb broad didn't know Guam was part of the US and is now upset...

that the Guam delegation is doing cookie diplomacy to broaden her very limited knowledge.

Her district can do better in terms of its representation.

[displacedtexan]

18. We're gonna need a Not The Onion/We're Not Kidding forum

for this dangerously stupid wingnut and her ilk. I honestly thought this was a joke.

[tanyev]

19. Attention Girl Scouts! Stay far, far away from Ms. Greene.

[Irish_Dem]

20. She looked stupid with her Guam comment. Now she deflects with blame.

[Permanut]

21. Not the dreaded cookie weapon!

Will these foreigners stop at nothing?

[Vinca]

22. Marj's followers show up with bear spray and stun guns. On a positive note,

at least she didn't shoot any cookies.

[Initech]

23. Oh the horrible atrocities of thin mints!

[empedocles]

24. Some people just can't shut up, even for a short while.

[iemanja]

25. not the Onion

though it sounds like it is.

[AwakeAtLast]

26. She's anti-Military!

Make that stick to her like shit on a pig!

[Bettie]

27. She needs to learn to shut her pie hole

If it was an "ambush" it was the most polite ambush of all time.

[Biophilic]

28. She seems to be incapable of saying anything intelligent.

She just gets worse and worse. The video is actually kind of cute of the Guam NG ambushing her office. I don't get it. Does she mean that anyone who comes to her office should expect to be attacked. Hmmm... I so hope her fellow republicans are proud of her. I, unfortunately, expect that her constituents who voted for her are. What an F'd up human being she is.

[Solly Mack]

29. She insults every citizen of Guam and now she's the victim?

Typical right-wing logic.


Right-wingers (and all republicans are right-wingers to one degree or another) storm the Capitol, engage in insurrection, engage in theft and destruction of federal property, threaten the lives of members of Congress and the V.P. of the U.S., cause the deaths of fellow insurrectionists, murder a cop, cause such emotional strain that two more cops commit suicide, and somehow she and other right-wingers are the victims of some culture war?

That leaving in place protection from those who would commit insurrection is somehow an act?

That protection in place due to credible threats against President Biden on the day of his inauguration is an act?

She's an idiot and does not know exactly who is and isn't an American citizen so she pitches a fit.

She supposedly respects all service people - except those from Guam. Because someone who respects members of America's military would know - KNOW - Guam is part of America and their citizens are Americans.

Same with Puerto Rico.

Same as the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Northern Mariana Islanders serve in the Guam National Guard but they are birthright citizens of the United States.

American Samoa - citizens are U.S. nationals and they can serve in the U.S. military - and they do so in record high numbers.

And, to add, during my time with the U.S. Army - I've met U.S. military soldiers who were from Jamaica, Wales, and South Africa. None of them U.S. citizens but still serving in the U.S. Army. They were all planning to become citizens at some point.

So fuck that ignorant blowhard.

[MacKasey]

30. She has no people skills

She just keeps digging the hole the deeper

She could have graciously accepted the cookies and apologized and shown some humanity.

[Larissa]

31. Ambushed by cookies?
