But TSF sucks for basically telling her she deserves the threats her college aged son is getting from MAGA Maniacs. No one deserves that.

It has to happen to them personally.

(7,429 posts)it might be worth something. But I'll bet even today she sees a "difference" in her actions and the stalking being done to her son. They are ALWAYS the victim, regardless... and whatever they do to someone else has a perfectly sane reason... (argh!)

(11,491 posts)Hard to believe she's sincere now if she can't own up to her shitty past behavior and at least say "I was wrong".

(67 posts)She didn't have a care in the world when she inspired the MAGAs to go after David Hogg, did she?
She made enough money to afford security.

(95,684 posts)Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene reportedly spent more than $65,000 of her campaign funds installing a fence at her home, according to Federal Election Commission records.
Ms Greene's schedule B itemized disbursements show her various campaign expenditures. Included in that list is a $65,257.49 payment to Bartow Fence Company Inc for the installation of an "additional security fence for residence."
The expenditure is not illegal; FEC rules allow candidates to spend campaign funds on personal security. However, the cost of the fence is more than $10,000 more than the median household income in her district, according to RawStory.
HomeAdvisor estimates that a typical homeowner spends between $1,400 and $4,500 on fence installation. Even if a special security fence cost ten times the high-end average amount, it would still be less than Ms Greene spent on her fence.

(2,069 posts)He was a survivor of a school shooting and as a result he came out in favor of gun restrictions. Also, remember how she protested the restriction of guns in the house chamber and refused to walk through metal detectors and was fined for more than one violation.

(1,170 posts)We need to come to a basic agreement as a society that its unacceptable to threaten people because we disagree with them. Unfortunately thats the culture Donald Trump has heralded and, MTG was fine with for some time.
I am glad she is speaking out about this though. Better late than never I suppose. She should apologize to David Hogg for her harassing him a few years ago.

(26,991 posts)she received a threat against her son? I don't understand your perspective. She is a monster.

(637 posts)...MAGA ever did in her name and the name of TSF. I believe she reveled in it.
If there is an ounce of sympathy for her or anyone she cares about in my body it would be a surprise.
And I hate that more than anything....

(7,541 posts)It is good to see that she continues to support the trump-Epstein victims.
Yes, she has done things I have despised, even to the point of calling her the b____ word a while back. Her more recent interviews are more lucid than in the past although she still has some hard-right moments.
I am hoping she is weening away from the MAGA world. If so, I think an apology to David Hogg will be forthcoming.
As for MAGA threats to her son, it is inexcusable.
