I try not to write about Marjorie Taylor Greene. The QAnon Lady thrives on attention and controversy. I prefer not to give her what she wants, but sometimes you’ve got to get your hands dirty. This is one of those times.
The flap over MTG’s latest moronic and evil comments has been raging so hard that KMac felt compelled to admonish her. Mildy. Belatedly. It didn’t stop her: who the hell is afraid of the Candyass Candyman?
Like all Q-Creeps, MTG is fixated on the Nazis:
Last week, during a discussion about whether House members should document their vaccination status before they take off their masks indoors, Greene told the Christian Broadcasting Network host David Brody “we can look back in a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second-class citizens—so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany and this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”
Since social media is what gives these trolls air, MTG doubled down on the Tweeter Tube:
While the Q-Creeps are fixated on the Nazis, I’m fixated on a detail in MTG’s comments. She keeps referring to the Nazi “Jew badge” as a GOLD STAR. It’s a YELLOW STAR, not a GOLD STAR.
I was a grade school kid in another century. Back then, getting a gold star was a good thing. Teachers would stick one on your work as a compliment. I understand that hasn’t changed except, that is, in the QAnon lady’s warped and miniscule mind.
The gold star has another meaning in American culture. It’s used to honor mothers who lost a child in combat. My yiayia was a Gold Star Mother. She lost her son in World War II. You know, the war in which we fought Nazism. That’s a detail that seems lost on MTG and her ilk.
The gold star is a badge of honor. The yellow star is a badge of infamy and genocide.
I should put it in terms that MTG will understand: Gold star good, yellow star bad.
Of course, Trumpers don’t honor Gold Star Families. Remember the Khan family and the controversy that should have cost the Kaiser of Chaos the 2016 election? It was an early sign of the rot that metastasized from 2016 to 2020 and exploded into the Dipshit Insurrection on 1/6/2021.
Ready for some comic relief? I certainly am.

Thanks, Jonathan. The self-described “big-headed kid from Jersey” scores again.
Speaking of tourists, MTG is not from another century, she’s from another planet: Q-World.
Q-World is a place where they can’t tell the difference between yellow and gold.
Q-World is a place where they’d tie a gold ribbon around the old oak tree.
Q-World is a place where they can’t tell the difference between the truth and a lie.
Q-World is a place where slavishly defending Bibi Netanyahu means that you can’t be Anti-Semitic.
Q-World is a place where trivializing the Holocaust is commonplace.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a sick, stupid, and silly woman. She should be in a straitjacket instead of Congress. She’s a symbol of everything that’s wrong with the American right in 2021. I refuse to call them conservatives. They’re radicals and nihilists who warp and destroy everything they touch.
I had an alternate title for this post inspired by this comic novel:
MTG and her fellow Q-Creeps are The Gang That Couldn’t Hate Straight.
Repeat after me: It’s A Yellow Star, Not A Gold Star.
i have an even scarier thought: she doesn’t believe any of it but she’s saying it because she’s addicted to power and that’s the easiest way to get it in the GOP right now.
Nah, she’s too stupid for that. You’re describing Elise Stefanik.
But gold is yellow, you dumb libtard! Kinda, anyway.
Bite me, Larry.
It’s the reference to “second class citizens”, followed in the same sentence by a reference to “trains to gas chambers” that hits me. Talk about trivialisation.
100%. It’s so unnatural to speak that way, she is more of a robot than a person when it comes to her humanity.
