‘Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm,’ the former Georgia congresswoman wrote

Marjorie Taylor Greene has urged fellow MAGA supporters – and other Americans – to “take off their political blinders” over the death of protester Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, warning that they are being “incited into civil war.”

“I unapologetically believe in border security and deporting criminal illegal aliens and I support law enforcement,” Greene wrote on X Sunday, the day after the fatal shooting. “However, I also unapologetically support the 2nd amendment.

“Legally carrying a firearm is not the same as brandishing a firearm.”

Despite video showing that 37-year-old Pretti was filming federal officers but did not have a weapon drawn, the Trump administration has claimed he had tried to assassinate agents in an act of “domestic terrorism.”

    Their comment however was not about simping MTG. It was questioning Democrats sucking ass.

      There is no effective difference between the parties, the reason the Dems are as weak as the GOP are grifters is because they all have the same donors.

      We flush incumbent dems out this year, all of 'em. Then see what happens after we shake the Yahtzee dice.

          There’s a tidal-wave of sudden pro-establishment democrat accounts being made across Lemmy right now. Check the account ages when you see them, you’ll notice many are less than a month old.

          I’m sure it’s just a coincidence though.

          Surely.
