Marjorie Taylor Greene Slammed for Homophobic Attack on Pete Buttigieg

Georgia representative and nightmare human Marjorie Taylor Greene was lambasted for her offensive homophobic rant against former presidential candidate and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. The deeply bigoted Trump-loving republican was speaking at a Trump rally in Georgia, where she rambled on about conspiracy theories and Trump talking points, saying “You know what? Pete Buttigieg can take his electric vehicles and his bicycle, and he and his husband can stay out of our girls bathrooms. Yup.”

It’s a deeply ignorant statement made by the deeply stupid congresswoman, who previously equated mask mandates with the Holocaust and referred to Hitler’s Gestapo as the Gazpacho police. Greene isn’t the only republican who has gone after Buttigeig: Tucker Carlson previously attacked Buttigieg and his husband for taking paternity leave to care for their newborn twins.

Greene’s bigoted vitriol is a mess of hate speech and incoherence, not unlike any speech from Donald Trump and his ilk. What do electric cars and bikes have to do with bathrooms? Why would two gay men want to go into a girls bathroom? Is Greene conflating her transphobia with her homophobia? Its absurd, dangerous nonsense, and many people on social media called Greene out for her hate speech.

Of course, this is nothing new from Greene, who is positively overflowing with misinformed and bigoted opinions. But much like fellow Rep. Lauren Boebert, who couldn’t even deliver a coherent comparison of Biden and King John from Robin Hood, Greene is so ignorant and cruel that she cannot even form an opinion that doesn’t come straight off of a QAnon message board. The sooner this absolute garbage person is voted out of congress, the better.
