Cenk Uygur, following the murder of seven aid workers, rips into the US government for continuing to say that Israel’s war crimes are not intentional, and calls Netanyahu and the Israeli Government the biggest terrorists in the world
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has been accused of calling for civil war in a Presidents Day tweet.
“We need a national divorce,” the extremist Republican tweeted. “We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal goverrnment. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
It’s not the first time Greene, who vocally supported the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, has floated the idea of secession. In October 2021, she polled her Twitter followers on whether they thought the U.S. should “have a national divorce.” She was similarly condemned at the time.
Civil War broke out in the U.S. in the 1860s, after an alliance of Southern states seceded in an effort to continue the legal enslavement of Black people.
Monday’s tweet attracted backlash from both sides of the political aisle. Utah’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox slammed her rhetoric as “destructive and wrong and — honestly— evil.”
“We don’t need a divorce, we need marriage counseling. And we need elected leaders that don’t profit by tearing us apart,” Cox tweeted. “We can disagree without hate. Healthy conflict was critical to our nation’s founding and survival.”
Sharing Greene’s tweet, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) noted that “secession is unconstitutional” and no member of Congress should advocate for it.
Democrats, including 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson and Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), also denounced Greene’s rhetoric.
Others labeled the missive treasonous and traitorous. See some of the other reactions below.
Ana. Cenk. TYT. Assholes. Lean in close, I have something to tell you two. If you want me to drop trans rights for optics and to win elections, you can eat broken glass and die. <3
To my American followers and well any Americans on Tumblr that are of (or will be) voting age that don't want or are unsure of Biden in the primaries...
NewsNation hosted a Democratic debate on Dan Abrams Live last night with the 3 other candidates that are in the primaries: Marianne Williamson, Dean Phillips and Cenk Uygur (Biden was invited but didnt even respond what a coward...😒) please give this a watch and hear them out it was a very professional respectful debate and they had a lot of great ideas and my blood boils that the DNC is trying to shut them out at every turn (not allowing Biden to debate, rigging the schedule to get the upper hand, smearing them and cancelling primaries in some states, etc. Kinda ironic given Biden's "Democracy at risk" message) because the DNC shouldn't be forcing Biden on the voters through whatever means necessary that should be up to you as a voter whether you want to keep Biden or not as the nominee there are other options in the race and you deserve to hear them out and make an informed decision that's what Democracy is all about 😊
I know I'm Canadian but I really do care about my fellow American neighbours because honestly whatever affects you guys would eventually affects us too in the end whether its Trump or Biden or anyone else so please be informed and hear them out and make your vote count when the primaries come
It’s crazy how some people who say they’re allies will just slip on a transphobic banana peel and rather than admit they were wrong, apologize, admit they need to work on themselves, show some fucking empathy, and pick themselves up from the floor; they just fucking double down hunch over and start eating the peel.
