I’ll admit to forgetting this was a thing, but apparently, Democrat activists are still trying to get Marjorie Taylor Greene thrown off the 2022 ballot under the guise that she promoted an insurrection.
What’s the evidence to support such a contention? Apparently, the use of common historical terms and the movie “Independence Day.” I’m not kidding. Greene stood by his position, and the rest was pure bonkers.
Here’s a taste of how silly things got.
This is literally the point where they quote Independence Day to MTG.

Greene previously used the phrase “we will not go quietly into the night,” which prompted a showing of “Independence Day” in the courtroom (again, I’m not kidding), after which the congresswoman said that she did not get her inspiration from the movie. The phrase is not uncommon, but it was first used in a poem sometime during the middle of the 20th century. In other words, Hollywood ripped it off, and this looney lawyer didn’t even realize it, asserting that Greene saying it somehow meant she…had a desire to foment insurrection?
I mean, heck, that scene in “Independence Day” is not even about insurrection. It’s about governments preserving themselves and their people by killing aliens. But BlueAnon is nothing if they aren’t absolutely insane.
Naturally, there was also QAnon talk.

What’s funny about this is that the lawyer obviously thought he had a moment lined up when he pressed Greene on whether she believes in QAnon. She blew it up, though, by quickly saying “no,” which countered the narrative he was seeking to push. Greene said that the CNN article was what she was being asked. It is possible that there may be credibility issues in the way things are presented.
But I think the best takedown occurred when Greene was asked about using such nefarious terms as “1776.”
MTG is unable to tell the petitioner that “1776” she used was a call to violence. MTG points out 1776 is on Georgia’s state seal.

Suffice it to say, I’m really not a fan of the left’s attempt to take objectively good things and turning them into supposed dog whistles that only they can hear. Greene never called for insurrection. Greene did not take part in any insurrection. There is no insurrection against the electoral college. Many Democrats have objected to it in the past.
The whole case, in summary, is laughable. Greene is entitled to freedom of speech. She shouldn’t be in a courtroom defending that right to any insane Democrat activist group attempting to subvert the will of voters. She should be thrown off the ballot, ironically. We would be far more undermining of “democracy” than anything Greene has ever done.
Lastly, that this judge actually ruled to allow this nonsense to continue is nuts, and given that he did, who knows how he’ll actually rule on the matter. Could Greene really be thrown off the ballot based on clips from “Independence Day” and accusations that saying “1776” is a call for insurrection? It’s actually possible.
