Marjorie Taylor Greene sounding like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. . . something's going on.

Something is going on.

Recent comments by Marjorie Taylor Greene:

I've been in the Capitol, and there are two things I couldn't find this week: I couldn't find anywhere the Epstein files, and I also couldn't find the Republican plan to fix the health insurance industry.

"Prices have not come down at all. The job market is extremely difficult. Wages have not gone up. Health insurance is going up. Home insurance goes up. Rent is going up. Young people have no hope of buying a home."

_____________ 

“Health care crisis? Ignored.

Wages? Flat.

Bills? Sky high.

And you think this wins midterms?”

______________ 

“I’d never speak on behalf of the president, but I don’t think he’s always getting the best advice.”

_______________

I'm talking to major manufacturing companies and they are saying we're having a problem with these tariffs... 

Has regular people's stress come off? No. That should be the focus. It shouldn't be helping your crypto donors. The focus should be the people that showed up at the rallies. I don't think those people are being served.

I'm not going to... keep talking the talking points, when my own adult children can hardly afford health insurance premiums.

I’m not some sort of blind slave to the president, and I don’t think anyone should be.

I serve in Congress. We’re a separate branch of the government, and I’m not elected by the president.

Have regular people's bank accounts been helped? No, that has not happened, and that needs to be the focus — it shouldn't be about helping your crypto donors.

I'm going to read you a little list... A Hollywood producer, a royal prince, a high-profile individual in the music industry, a very prominent banker, a high-profile government official, one former politician, one owner of a car company in Italy, one rock star, one magician, half a dozen billionaires, including one from Canada.

(This one riffs of of Massie, whom she is quoting). 

Something is going on.  Greene, who has typically sounded like a bombastic idiot, suddenly doesn't.  It's not just what she's saying, which is shocking given her prior servitude to the far right, it's the way she's saying it.

She's actually not dumb.

This means something. She's saying things that if they came from a Democrat would cause Mike Johnson to put on his little smirk and discount it.  

And then there's this:

They’re not Hamas. They’re literally women and children. And you can’t unsee the amount of pictures and videos of children that have been blown to pieces and are they’re finding them dead in the rubble. That isn’t—those aren’t actors, that isn’t fake war propaganda. It’s very real.

Usually MAGA supports anything Israel does.

This is interesting.  If it starts repeating with other far right figures we'll know that the political winds are shifting.

On rising discontent:

You better start obeying the Constitution. It's going to get real ugly if you don't follow the laws and obey the Constitution like you swore an oath to do.
