HomePolitics Rep. Greene Needs to Resign
By Lawton Sack Politics
We covered the remarks back in June of last year that CNN has recently re-discovered by going through Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Facebook page. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called out House GOP leaders for not doing more to rebuke Rep. Greene. Rep. Jimmy Gomez of California announced yesterday a resolution to expel her from Congress. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy stated through a spokesperson that he would have a conversation with her.
Reps. Austin Scott, Buddy Carter, Karen Handel, and Drew Ferguson endorsed her runoff opponent, Dr. John Cowan, in June due to her remarks. Rep. Handel was an outspoken critic of Rep. Greene since Greene announced her candidacy for Congress.
While numerous GAGOP elected officials and leaders called out Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for actually following the law and doing his job, there has been silence from current officials and leaders on Rep. Greene since CNN issued their recent report. Since they will not speak out, I will say that she needs to resign immediately from Congress. Her antics, including removing a reporter from her town hall, and words have demonstrated that she is not fit to hold the position of being a member of Congress.

Representative Greene Does Not Need To Resign
What so many folks have missed is the message her election by a competent, involved and concerned citizenry sends. Congresswoman Greene represents a majority of her constituents; they were aware of her positions, her policies, and her deeply held beliefs. She was elected by the people of her district, and if removed from office, she will be elected again! The people of this district have as much right to elect her as the people of Atlanta had to elect Congressman Lewis, who by any account did nothing for his district, nothing to contain crime, poverty, or urban decay, and certainly nothing to improve the competency or efficacy of the Atlanta Public School System or the effectiveness of Atlanta’s Police in controlling or deterring street crime, domestic abuse, or the horror of child sexual exploitation. Further, Congressman Lewis failed to note or comment on widespread corruption of other local elected officials, and so far as I can determine, did absolutely nothing to provide meaningful employment for tens of thousands of young Negro youths. and yet, he was elected over and over again.
There is deep schism opening in Georgia polity, one which if left unmentioned and ignored will lead to more tragic consequences than are imaginable. I had nothing but contempt for Congressman Lewis, not for his demonstrated courage as a Civil Rights icon, but for his sheer incompetence and partisanship as a Congressman. I can imagine no one whose actions are further removed from the promises of the Civil Rights Era, and the hope of true visceral change that Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King championed.
That said, the citizens of the Fifth District repeated re-elected this demigod, as was their lawful right under the Voting Rights Act of 1965. So also have the people of the 14th District spoken. She is no more of an embarrassment to us than Congressman Lewis was to his constituents.
And what embarrassment, to each of you who would deny the will of a District’s people, is the incredible absence of jobs, opportunity and educational achievement for the Negro denizens of Atlanta that you have perpetuated by your empty rhetoric in support of politics as usual, and your cowardly deferral of any meaningful action to reform Atlanta politics to reflect the economic and social needs of several million impoverished Atlantans of all races and creeds?
The streets are pot-holed, the sidewalks rutted and cracked, the houses are in disrepair and the the neighborhoods reflect the real reason for Black anger and despair, the fact that middleclass Whites and Blacks have sought to enrich themselves through the exploitation of labor and the limitation of employment. Too bad that John Lewis, and most of you white progressives, don’t see that you are carrying water for Alinsky, Marcuse, Neumann, Krichheimer, Lenin, Marx and oh, Soros.
I did not vote for Congresswoman Greene, but your churlish disdain for her may well lead me and others to support her right to believe as she deems right. Her right of center pronouncements are frankly far less controversial and far more conventional to me than what I kindly refer to as y’all’s Fabian delusions. Kafka got your tongue?
