In her own Private Idaho, MTG compared Balloon to 9/11 [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-13 MTG Brags About Cursing at Military Officials During Chinese Spy Balloon Briefing Crowd Goes Silent As MTG Brings Up ‘Crashed’ 9/11 Jetliner to Argue Biden Could Have Shot Down Chinese Spy Balloon Earlier” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) referenced the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks that killed almost 3,000 Americans in order to attack President Joe Biden while addressing a Lincoln Day dinner in Idaho over the weekend. Greene spoke at the event hosted by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee and was receiving loud applause until she invoked 9/11 to argue Biden could have shot down the balloon over the continental U.S. “Yeah, They said it’s three school buses. Three school buses. Why? Okay, well, do you guys remember on 9/11 when an airplane crashed in Pennsylvania, a jetliner?” Greene continued, referencing United Flight 93, as the room fell silent. “Remember that? It didn’t kill anybody on the ground. Killed everyone on board, but it didn’t kill anyone on the ground. So they want to tell all of us that it was too risky to take down that Chinese spy balloon over rural Idaho or Montana or any of these other states or Alaska,” Greene continued to a quiet room. “They’re liars. There you can only see it two ways,” she added. “Either they’re liars or they’re cowards or our president is sold out to China,” she said as the crowd got back into it. “Oh, you know what? I’ll go with all three.” www.mediaite.com/... x Marjorie Taylor Greene used the death count from hijacked 9/11 Flight 93 to minimize the risk of shooting down the spy balloon.

Marjorie Taylor Greene has no regrets about screaming at Biden administration officials last week during a briefing over the Chinese spy balloon, bragging on Saturday that she personally chewed out military officials for how they handled the situation. “You sat by and allowed this Chinese spy balloon that could’ve contained a bioweapon like COVID. It could’ve contained a nuclear bomb. An EMP attack, or hypersonic missiles,” the congresswoman, who has struggled on her image rehab tour, recalled to a rapt audience at a fundraiser in Idaho. “I said, ‘That is the biggest bunch of bullshit,’” she boasted in video posted to Twitter—although the word sounded more like “boar shit.” An anonymous lawmaker told The Hill on Thursday that Greene acted “irrational” in the briefing, “just screaming and yelling.” However, Greene appears to have a different interpretation: “I chewed them out just like the American people would’ve,” she told The Hill. “I tore ’em to pieces.” www.thedailybeast.com/...
