Marjorie Taylor Greene suggests Southerners could 'welcome' Biden's 'police state friends' with guns
The late-July event in Dothan was closed to the media, but a video clip of some of her comments leaked, according to the Alabama Political Reporter .
“You lucky people here in Alabama might get a knock on your door, because I hear Alabama might be one of the most unvaccinated states,” Greene told the crowd, prompting cheers and applause over the state's low vaccination rate. “Well, Joe Biden wants to come talk to you guys. He's going to be sending one of his police state friends to your front door to knock on the door, take down your name, your address, your family members' names, your phone numbers, your cellphone numbers, probably ask for your Social Security number and whether you've taken the vaccine or not.”
She continued: “What they don't know is in the South, we all love our Second Amendment rights, and we're not real big on strangers showing up on our front door, are we? They might not like the welcome they get.”
It wasn't clear whether Greene was referring to the administration's Covid surge response teams or grassroots volunteers encouraging vaccinations . The teams, made up of experts from FEMA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other federal agencies, aim to help states with low vaccination rates "prevent, detect and respond" to the spread of the delta variant .
NBC reached out to Greene's office for comment on the video and to confirm it showed her at the event. Her spokesman, Nick Dyer, simply replied, "These claims are ridiculous and yet another conspiracy theory from the left," without specifying what claims he meant.
The remarks from Greene, who has compared mask mandates to the Holocaust and was stripped of her committee assignments for promoting various conspiracy theories, mirrored other conservative rhetoric on Biden's plan.
At the event, Greene also denounced Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, referring to a conspiracy theory spread by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and other conservatives that suggests the National Institutes of Health helped fund “gain of function research” at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China that morphed into the coronavirus — an accusation that Fauci has said is false .
“That is his baby,” Greene said, referring to Fauci. “That is his experiment, and he's getting to watch it in the real world, like on a live television show where he has a front row seat. He gets to watch what happens.”
In remarks last month, Greene made another Nazi-era comparison regarding the coronavirus response, saying people who knock on doors encouraging vaccinations are “medical brown shirts,” referring to the paramilitary organization that helped facilitate the rise of the Nazis and Hitler.

She is such a cunt. She should probably also remind them that they will be arrested and found guilty of homicide. So they better be sure that not getting a vaccine is worth a couple decades in federal prison.
That's just it, isn't it?
She probably thinks it's a home owner's right to shoot somebody who merely knocks on the door. Second Amendment and all that donchayaknow
I am positive that if you take a look at the Alabama State Statutes they do not give a person the right to use deadly force immediately against someone who knocks on your door and asks you a question.
I'm positive about that, too
For every gun the dumb bitch points, there might be 5 pointed right back at her.
Biden should show up at her house in a tank.
Funny, but no. She should be arrested for incitement when the first person get's killed though.
There is an old movie called Tank with James Garner who is out to rescue his wrongly jailed son (C Thomas Howel) by a redneck sheriff. The deputy (James Cromwell) hears a knock on the jail door and opens it only to be staring down the gun barrel of a tank. He ends up getting handcuffed naked to a pole and Garner goes off to retrieve his son. Geico Greene would shit her pants if it happened to her.
Green, Gohmert and Bobart OH MY!
I'm sure that the Biden police force will use ''space lasers'' to take over the south.
I heard she got herself a new man.
He's too good for her
Smarter also.
Oh, that isn't a mirror image?
She would have to hit him with a club.
She reminds me of an encounter between Sir Winston Churchill and I think Lady Astor. She said if he were her husband, she would poison his coffee. He came back with if she were his wife, he would drink it.
Which one is Green?
The one that shaves, lol
If you do not know then-----------why are you here?
I heard that too, but it was a different picture...
Holy.. COWS!!!!!!!!!!!
