Perhaps she should’ve thought about that when she was cheerleading the crowd of neocons who are perpetrating all of this.

    I don’t even think it’s (predominantly) her antisemitism that’s causing this, because she definitely also (probably moreso) hates Muslims; it’s her backwater isolationist mentality that the US should never help anybody but ourselves (totally ignoring how much helping others disproportionately helps us). I wrote a very large portion of Greene’s article on Wikipedia in 2021, and one of the biggest throughlines for her support for Donald Trump in 2020 was isolationism (“America First”).

    It’s also why Greene was outspoken against the US’ invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping of Maduro. An ardent anti-interventionalist is bound to occasionally be correct when the one intervening is an impulsive, reckless, bigoted, selfish imperialist.

      If you look at Tucker’s rhetoric, its very similar.

        Greene became politically engaged in 2016 when Trump’s isolationist, white supremacist campaign message resonated with her (two years later in 2018, she moderated a white supremacist conspiracy group on Facebook whose acronym was “FAP”; not relevant, just bringing it up); there’s not a chance in hell her rhetoric wasn’t also inspired by Carlson’s around that time (Trump’s messaging surely was).

        Yeah, they get a paycheck from Russia. Isreal has the balls of over half the Republican party in a pedo-vise, that’s the difference

      But it is definitely mixed in there. Make no mistake, she would happily see Israel bombed into oblivion so she can go straight to heaven on the rapture bus.
