House of Representatives speaker Kevin McCarthy passed the speaker’s gavel to the controversial Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene today and while the building didn’t burst into flames, the comments online were definitely fiery. This was the first time Greene held the position, which was a symbolic comeback after being stifled by former speaker Nancy Pelosi for two years.
Ever since McCarthy took over, Greene’s seen her political cache rise considerably. After her banging of the gavel, she left to attend a COVID-19 hearing, where she’ll question Biden cabinet members about China and the origin of the virus.
All that is decidedly unfun and probably not great for the country but we can take solace in her getting constantly roasted by people all over the world. Let’s take a look.
At least she dressed up.
Pretty direct.
This is fun if not a bit dramatic.
People seem to think she’s not the brightest person around.
Good analogy.
Brutal, this one is.
Classic!
Not really sure what’s going on here but…
I am just sharing these, everyone relax.
Oh, I forgot about the space lasers.
McCarthy catching some collateral damage!
People making some weird comparisons here.
All right let’s finish this off with a measured response – one that notes the historical aspect of the day but is also disapproving of what’s happening.
What a time to be alive. Oh and that blame Biden thing? Case in point:
I would be remiss to not point out that this is a big, body breaking stretch pinning the origins of the pandemic on Biden. Even Fox News didn’t take that angle, saying “The former CDC director also said that he ‘absolutely’ believes the Wuhan Institute of Virology was engaging in gain-of-function research.” How she made a leap in logic from that is anyone’s guess.
