Protecting all freedoms, from faith to press, was Marjorie Taylor Greene’ told Whitfield County Republicans to cherish their freedom at Tuesday’s GOP meeting. Green is the Republican candidate for the 14th Congressional district.

She told the packed GOP office in Dalton that she has lived the proverbial American Dream, from being the first in her family to graduate from college, to opening her own business and making is successful, to taking over the family’s construction company.
“I”m thrilled to be a mother of three with the freedom to teach them from my faith and how to work hard,” she said.
She cautioned those in attendance that those freedoms were endangered by the Democratic party. She squares off against Democrat Kevin Van Ausdal on the Nov. 3 ballot.

“If we don’t flip the house and keep the senate, they will push the Green New Deal through,” she said. “They are planning to do that fast.”
Greene referred to the 110-page document created by a joint Joe Biden-Bernie Sanders task force recommending “combating the climate crisis and pursuing environmental justice.”
“The Green New Deal will kill the oil industry,” Greene warned. “Look at California
She added that also high on Biden’s list, if elected, is taking the country back under the Paris Climate Accord and the Iran nuclear deal.
“We don’t like pollution, but more taxes won’t fix it,” she said. “And they want us to have a deal with a country that yells ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel.'”

“We need good guys with guns.”
She continued to tell supporters that the Second Amendment would be protected. She told them her high school was a gun-free zone, an effort pushed by then-Congressman Biden, when a fellow classmate, broke down after being bullied, and brought three guns to school and took control of the class.
“I was afraid and the government is not going to tell me how many guns or how much ammo I need to protect my family,” she said. “We didn’t have a good-guy with a gun in my school. We need good guys with guns.”

“Abortion is the most evil lie”
She took a more compassionate approach to women who have had abortion.
“I do not judge them. I believe when a woman makes that choice, she is in crisis,” she said. “I do judge our government for selling the most evil of lies to women in crisis. They are telling these women that a baby will get in the way and prevent them from accomplishing their goals and dreams. My kids are my reason why.”
She said the problem, besides government funding abortions and Planned Parenthood, was that abortions cost $400 compared to adoptions, which can range up to $40,000.
“We have to do better,” she said.
“Freedom of press is a gift.”

Greene spoke to members of the Whitfield County Republicans.
“Our freedom of press is a gift, a beautiful gift,” she said. But, there were some things she said that the conservatives were tired of. Speaking openly to a New York Times reporter at the event, she said “We don’t like the far left media. We’re also tired of the Russian collusion”
She stressed she was glad the reporter was there, but added “We know the mainstream media is the mouthpiece of the Democratic party.”
Green urged the media to understand that conservatives are able to read non-bias news, do their own research and judge the information given. “We are smart.”
In closing, Greene said the federal government needed to be reminded they were owned by the regular people.
“We need a congress that works for the people from both sides,” she said. “I’ll remind congress who they work for.”

Greene calls out “fake news,” Dems, and Pelosi

ELLIJAY, Ga – Fourteenth District Republican Candidate Marjorie Greene compared the “fake news” media attacks against her to those hurled at President Donald Trump. She certainly didn’t mince words when talking about the media, Democrats, or Republicans following her election night win.
Since easily winning her runoff with 56.75 percent of the vote, the majority of Greene’s headlines focus on her QAnon ties – a conspiracy theory detailing an alleged plot against President Trump and supporters.
On Good Morning from the Office, Greene didn’t necessarily shy away from the group, but she did separate herself to an extent. She explained that two years ago, she never considered running for office. During this time, Greene started researching the “fake news” media stories about Russa Collusion.
“I knew they were lying about President Trump. I was one of those people that read and looked up things and wanted to know what was really going on, and millions of other Americans did the same thing,” explained Greene.
She conceded that she might have commented on pages, sites, or forums, that she might reconsider posting today.
“I’m a regular person. I looked up things. I asked things,” Greene added.
The Republican candidate remained steadfast in being “fed up with conspiracy lies from the fake news media.” She said, “we won’t believe” the media’s narrative about the Trump Campaign and Russia’s involvement in 2016.
Few if any media outlets have given Greene positive headlines, but her campaign “[doesn’t] care what the fake news media has to say.” According to Greene, the people that know her will recognize the media’s lies.

At Tuesday’s victory party, the campaign removed an AJC reporter, but not before they recorded her saying “kick that bitch out of Congress” concerning Nancy Pelosi. The victory party wasn’t considered a press event.
When asked, the Republican candidate confirmed, “In a fired-up moment, I called her a dirty name.” However, Greene didn’t apologize to the Speaker of the House. Instead, she doubled down calling Pelosi a hypocrite and the Democrat party “anti-American.”
Greene’s tired of Democrat policies, Pelosi’s tactics, along with the media, and “spineless Republicans” who kowtow to them.
“What we’re having in our government is too much. It’s insulting to the American people. We have the Democrat party that has turned into the party of socialism,” explained Greene. “American people, conservative Republicans are fed up. We’re fed up with Antifa, BLM, socialists, the squad, and Nancy Pelosi…All the Republicans need to double down. We need to support President Trump and get him reelected. We need to defend our conservative values.”
President Trump spoke with Greene on election night and called her the next “Republican star” in a Tweet.
Congratulations to future Republican Star Marjorie Taylor Greene on a big Congressional primary win in Georgia against a very tough and smart opponent. Marjorie is strong on everything and never gives up – a real WINNER!
