Marjorie Taylor Greene Laughs When Asked If She's Responsible For Protecting People
Greene held a press conference after she was suspended from Twitter for 12 hours for spreading COVID-19 misinformation. In tweets on Sunday and Monday, she falsely claimed that COVID-19 is not dangerous for people unless they’re obese or over age 65 and said vaccines shouldn’t be required.
Many people under age 65 have become severely ill or died from the disease. Currently, 99% of COVID-19 deaths are among the unvaccinated.
“Do you feel any responsibility for keeping people in Georgia safe?” a reporter asked during the press conference. “There are children, skinny people, who have died of the coronavirus. Do you feel any responsibility?”
Greene laughed.
“Tia, you crack me up,” she said. “You know what, I think people’s responsibility is their own. To read the information ― and it’s everywhere. You can’t go by any street corner practically and not see something about COVID-19. I believe in people’s own individual responsibility to read, to find out and to make their own decision.”
“I believe in God. And of course, there is science,” Greene answered. “I don’t worship science or think that science rules everything. I believe that God rules everything.”
Mitchell said she asked the question after listening to Greene downplay the impact of COVID-19 on young people and those who aren’t obese.
Greene has persistently spread dangerous and demonstrably false theories about vaccines and COVID-19, even as the delta variant surges around the country and causes a new uptick in cases.
The lawmaker was widely criticized online for her inappropriate laughter during a question about the lives and safety of her constituents.
“Dead Americans? Cracks up laughing. The face of the Republican Party,” political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen tweeted .
Health care advocate Peter Morley said Greene was a “DISGRACE!”
“Rep. Greene laughs re: “skinny people” dying of #COVID19 Followed by, “You crack me up,” he tweeted . “MILLIONS have died globally from this pandemic. No one is laughing.”
Greene did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

This hateful skank ho isn't there to represent her constituents. This hateful skank doesn't believe in God. It's what her hateful supporters/enablers pretend to believe in.
I know this sounds hateful but she looks like a Neanderthal on steroids.
Not hateful at all. SHE'S UGLY TO THE BONE. She's also got bigger balls than her little buddy Gaetz who she's going on 'rallies' with.
Someone posted a meme here once of her picture next to a Neanderthal woman. MTG is a total doppelganger of her.
I personally thought she was a former Marine who got out then became a woman
Lots of people are sayin' Matt Gaetz asked her if she had a granddaughter. I don't know, could be true. That's what they're sayin'.
Oh, shit! I just got that!
Yup, that skank Greene is definitely too old and skanky for his tastes.
One of the very few things we agree on. That woman should never have been elected and needs out of office ASAP!
Thanks Ed! Let's mark it on our calendars.
With protection like that, who needs enemies?
She is looking a little, pumped up...
To me she looks like she should be being dragged around from her hair by a guy carrying a club.
True. Her face is quite a bit more angular than round.
And there is, the body shaming coming from the left that is allegedly against body shaming ..... unless of course the person doesn't agreed with your political narrative in with case they are are fair game for body shaming.
Classic liberal mentality, classic .....
She’s fugly, but she’s way fuglier on the inside.
Like i said .... classic
Have you ever heard AOC called ugly?
I'm looking at a tweet where someone calls this woman
a "nasty, ugly, old hag".
Yup, she's fugly to the BONE!
Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is beautiful, articulate, intelligent, all the things the gqp fear.
Ah yes, .... the old, two wrongs make a right argument.
[deleted]
That's a constant meme here
Her daddy should have used protection....
Momma shoulda swallowed. . .
The best part of her ran down her Mama's leg...
I heard something one time that seems to apply here - with friends like that who needs enemas?
Sounds like she gave the same response as most Democrats. Being she's not a Democrat people's heads exploded.
This right here.................
What a concept huh?
These statements are against the liberal mindset. They feel, as evidenced by some of the commentary here and other places, that they have to wait for GovCo to TELL them what to do and "protect" them. It's ludicrous to say the least.
People not getting a simple vaccine and calling it freedom are the idiots that keep this virus going. She is adding to people not getting the vac and catching the virus.
People calling other people who don't get vaccinated, idiots, are the real idiots don't you think? I mean what are you worried about if you are vaccinated, if all the people you care about are vaccinated, if all the smart people are vaccinated? They will all survive and all the idiots you don't like will die from their stupidity.
Right?
Seems like that is happening with most of the hospitalizations and death from unvaccinated people.
Problem is people that have the virus and not showing symptoms (yet) spreading it around.
And yes it is idiotic. I had to get Vaccines to be able to go to school.
Vac for smallpox, vac for measles, etc.
Now all the sudden this has been made political in an us vs them fashion, which is idiotic at least when lives are on the line.
Really?
How did five allegedly vaccinated Texas congresspeople get COVID then?
So confusing isn't it?
Again, if you and yours are vaccinated, what is your point?
A year ago practically 100% of the hospitalizations and deaths were those unvaccinated..........because there wasn't one yet. NOTHING has changed as far as those afflicted FFS
That is within the right of the school system. You didn't have to go there but like most of us you probably didn't have a choice so your parents trusted the system and got you vaccinated.
Different world we live in today. No doubt about that.
Funny I don't see them hooked up to a ventilator in hospital. But yeah, all right wingers think taking a vac is the end of the world. No, it is major stupidity.
Did you get the vac?
Nothing changed? No matter how some want to see it, facts are the lockdown and push for vaccinations was working. Case loads were on the retreat. Now with the push that everything has to be normal and the antivac push cases again are on a major uptick.
More convenient liberal deflection/rationalization without having all the facts in hand.
You haven't answered my question.
How did five people in such a small group of allegedly vaccinated people, get COVID?
Could have gotten it from anywhere is the point you seem to gloss over.
Not arguing that point and yes, as far as unvaccinated getting the disease goes, nothing has changed. No vaccine, slimmer chance of NOT catching it. To emphasize that point now seems a bit crazy. Of course the cases for the majority are going to be those not vaccinated.
I just don't understand the push to not take it. Could end up being suicide.
"Seems like that is happening with most of the hospitalizations and death from unvaccinated people.
Problem is people that have the virus and not showing symptoms (yet) spreading it around."
99% of hospitalizations/death are due to the unvaccinated IDIOTS.
And people shrug their shoulders. Wait until school starts and all these unvaccinated people are spreading it around even more.
"So confusing isn't it?"
Not at all. It's from the unvaccinated idiots who are passing it around.
I agree. No reason not to. Quite a strange attitude by some to decide to "take that chance".
I just don't remember all this resistance to vacs before. Of course there were always a few complaining and saying no yet for the most part people did, for their own good.
Now it seems to be some kind of big push to be against Biden, or against Liberals or against the deep state or whatever.
All it takes is their kid going to school, pick it up from a carrier and bring it home to infect the family.
That skank bitch laughs at the dead and dying. I bet that skank got vaccinated.
I wouldn't doubt it. It seems tucker carlson won't say whether he was or not either.
Obviously ....... the poiint you are "glossing over" is how allegedly vaccinated people caught COVID and more distressing is how five of these vaccinated people, of such a small group of vaccinated people, all caught the COVID. It's simply not statistically supported by the numbers being published by the government and Big Pharma.
How can this be?
Not that hard if you think about it. One may have picked it up then all being packed on a bus...
In case you didn't know the vac is not a cure all. It is to save your life if you do catch it as 90+% of the vaccinated people that do catch it will not even need hospitalization.
I don't care what some idiots say, I still wear a mask in public.
I understand vaccine efficacy language quite fine. I also understand the math that it yields.
The Pfizer vaccine for example is published as having a 95% efficacy rate after two doses for PREVENTING COVID-19 illness. That efficacy number gets even higher when compared to unvaccinated people for survivability after being infected with COVID-19. I haven't seen any published numbers for that but everything points to less severe sickness for most if vaccinated. The point is in the math. Based on the published numbers, it is more or less a statistical impossibility for five people in that small group people, all of whom are allegedly vaccinated, to have caught COVID-19.
Something is rotten in Denmark with this one. My guess is they all weren't all vaccinated but that is only a guess. Vaccination efficacy's could be bogus as well. Regardless, the math does not add up.
They didn't all 'catch the co-vid', they tested positive.
You're allegedly the stats guy. Tell us?
Eh, we will probably never know.
Which is why I say wear a mask in crowded spaces, like a bus.
There are cases of vaccinated people still coming down with the CV.
Luckily, the way all the reports sound, the symptoms, if any, aren't very severe.
Do you honestly believe she has done her own research on COVID and the vaccines?
People who are immunosuppressed can't be vaccinated. That is the point of herd immunity and getting those who can be vaccinated...vaccinated. We can't reach herd immunity until a large percentage of the population have gotten the shot
Don't know if she has or hasn't and probably never will. But the "sentiment" has some merit. Don't wait for GovCo to tell you what to do.
I don't know anyone that has that unfortunate condition. Do you? And how about the person I was addressing? Does he? Is that what the worry is? Or, and don't take this wrong, are we witnessing some degree of virtue signaling and many thinking they are going to save the world?
What makes you think I wait for the government to tell me what to do? Mighty big assumption on your part
Yes, I did know someone...my mother. Fortunately, she passed away before all this happened.
I also happen to know a woman I work with who can't even get a simple flu shot every year because of a condition she has.
And you probably know people, too. Ever known someone who was or is on chemo? They're immunosuppressed. Most dialysis patients are. There are lots of them around, Jim.
FFS I didn't say you personally. I was explaining that as the sentiment.
Virtue signaling? That phrase gets thrown around a lot here and I still don't understand what you mean by it.
Do you have problems with people doing all they can to save at least their part of the world?
ok
Kind of like the "Christians that don't act like Christians only on Sunday" thing. Saying one cares for all others when in reality as long as they and theirs are fine, so are they. It's a "look at me" form of empathy. Not saying everyone is like that but I personally know some who are.
Absolutely not. I admire those who do what they can and what they have to to take care of themselves and the ones around them. I do it. Unfortunately I work with someone who either didn't know or care that they were infected and I and six others in the office caught Covid from her. And my experience was not a pretty one. Was just hours from being intubated and it scared the hell out of me.
I understand it now. And I see many libertarians and ultra-right conservatives who do a lot of that virtue signaling. Pretending that their church heads up a charity but they only contribute because it makes them look good.
Libertarians are the Godfathers of "as long as I got mine"
Couldn't agree more.
Chances are overwhelming that if you are vaccinated and get covid you won't be hospitalized or die from it.
It must be a conspiracy then sparky.
Oh the fucking irony!
Greene insists that people are responsible for their own actions while denying any responsibility for her own.
Like what? Please be specific.
Like what you and I block quoted Jim.
You commented:
Which implies that Greene and YOU believe people are responsible for their own ACTIONS ["what to do"], Yet your posit is that Greene should get a pass for laughing at a suggestion that SHE is responsible for HER actions.
I was asking what specific actions is she responsible for that in your opinion she isn't taking responsibility for
The seed states that she tweeted 'misinformation'. THAT is an ACTION.
Did she deny doing it?
Yet refuses to take RESPONSIBILITY for it's content Jim.
I could care less what party she belongs to. She is a vile creature. Her and her buddy Gaetz are despicable.
Speaking of parties, the Dems had Senator Franken and he resigned (under pressure) over a stupid old picture. Yet now we have a man under investigation for paying to have sex with a minor and he still has his job.
This Greene woman does nothing but promote conspiracy theories and lie to the public about the virus. Lower than low.
Where you been Jeremy? Missed you lots!
Greene laughs and it's heinous, Harris laughs and it's cute.
Liberals are a psychotic bunch to be sure.
If all you have is Harris, kind of a weak argument.
Not all i have but it's enough.
[Deleted]
Drone on. I know the drill...Liberals bad, my side good....
Grunt grunt.
Lol ... i accept your surrender.
Have a nice day!
Haha. Can't defend this Greene woman so attack Harris, attack Liberals and pretend you sort won something.
Yeah that's the ticket.
"Not all i have but it's enough.
That is if you truly are a thinking person and not just a brainwashed worker drone."
It certainly is all you have and it's pathetic.
There it is! What about that hive mentality that the alleged conservatives adhere to? Which you pin on the 'left'?
Didn't win diddly. But that's the how the alleged conservatives roll. That hive mentality.
Right, because WHAT they are laughing ABOUT is irrelevant, right Sparty?

Did you want a run on masks to where health care workers would run out.
There was a run on masks where healthcare workers ran out.
Largely because the Obama admin didn't replace the supply after the Swine Flu epidemic.
Seems like the next in line didn't either....
True, they both fuk'd up in that regard
I would hate to have your nerve in a tooth.
There were 'private donations' of masks shipped by the US government to China in FEBRUARY 2020. Those masks could have been distributed to US hospitals. It wasn't until APRIL that China started to ship masks to the US.
Per 3M, N95 masks have a 5 YEAR shelf life Sparty.
The Swine Flu started in 2009, 11 YEARS prior to Covid.
ANY replacement masks from then were EXPIRED by time Trump took office in 2017.
ALL of the N95 masks in the 2020 stockpile were dated from the Obama Administration.
In short, Trump failed to rotate and/or replenish the stockpile.
Obama's 2012 budget requested about a 60 million increase for stockpile funding, instead the Congress CUT funding by 10%. Oh and then there was the GOP government budget sequester.
Oh and BTFW, I suggest your READ the multiple Trump HHS budgets that continued to FAIL to increase funding for the stockpile.
Thanks for the truth and facts Dulay, as usual.
These folks continue to blame all of the Turd Reichs' fuck ups on everyone but the responsible pile of shit, trumpturd.
Interesting take by a local radio host. Keep in mind, he calls both sides out when necessary His name is Vince Coakley for any naysayers.
He basically challenged Mr. Biden to be the bigger man and do what could be a major boost in vaccinations. I wish I could remember his exact words but in a nutshell he said
"Biden needs to step up and prove he is the bigger man and reach out to Donald Trump and invite him to the White House and enlist his help in getting the vaccine message out"
Vince is a smart guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you posted that on another seed.
Why the fuck should President Biden reach out to the Turd Reich? Fuck trumpturd.
President Biden IS the bigger man. The Turd Reich would never accept the invitation anyway - that big fat whiny bitch.
What do you know - it looks like 'placeholder' was a banned former member.
