CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is talking about World War II-era British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and Winston Winston. He said he did not know whether he knew Mr. Churchill.
Greene spoke on the War Room podcast about her push to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana), saying, “Everywhere I go in my district, everyone’s very excited about Mike Johnson.” Angry. And one guy says to me, he says, “Is Mike Johnson’s wife tied up somewhere with a gun to her head?” What’s wrong with Mike Johnson? So if Mike Johnson actually thinks the Republican conference supports sending $60 billion to Ukraine, he’s a complete idiot, Steve. And he’s a liar. ”
“Normally I would be reluctant to hand the microphone to Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene,” Tapper said. “But she represents a large portion of the Republican Party and has a great deal of influence in Congress.” .”
“Congressman Don Bacon, I don’t know if you’d call him a moderate, but he’s definitely a sane guy from the battleground state of Nebraska, framed the situation with Speaker John this way. He said, “He has a gun in his hand.” Let’s go now, but what we need now is Churchill, not Chamberlain. He may be on the right side of history. ” I don’t know if Marjorie Taylor Greene knows who Churchill or Chamberlain are, but this is a World War II allusion to standing up to Putin, in this case, and Hitler at the time. ”
