The Daily Beast had a story on Greensnot’s hometown but if you are from Ga., then you already know about the history of Forsyth County. The county may not be that way today but there are plenty of African Americans who still do not want to reside in Cummings, Ga.
I was a wee one when I knew all about Forysth County. It was not only a sundown county but enough of a hatefilled cesspool that Oprah paid a visit to that county in the eighties.
It was the scene of “the most successful racial cleansing in U.S. history,” and the results of that history were still on display during her years in high school there. www.thedailybeast.com/… Also from the Daily Beast…
When Marjorie Taylor Greene, the new congresswoman known for her racist and anti-Semitic rants, was a senior at South Forsyth County High School in 1992, a few dozen Black marchers made their way through the Georgia county’s rain-slicked streets singing old protest songs and carrying signs reading “We Shall Overcome” and “Black and White Together.” The route was flanked by hundreds of snarling white racists waving Confederate flags and shouting ″Go home, n---ers.”

The county was recently ranked one of the richest counties in Georgia, its grand houses and country clubs obscuring a history of Black bloodshed and standing on sites once occupied by Black churches and homes. That land was long ago stolen from Black folks during a campaign of terror that has been called “the most successful racial cleansing in U.S. history.”
So I grew up knowing Cummings, Ga was a bad place. I also knew that the 14th District where Greensnot (MTG) represents is also very racist. I know because I grew up next door to it. It is also an area that I have been dealing with regarding my great granddaughter’s permanent custody but the so called Daddy has wound himself back in jail so maybe that fight is nearing the close.
Green needs to be exposed exactly for who she is. This tells you also about the people who love her, and her love for Trump all about racism in this country of racists and white privilege. She is the poster child for racism and hate so why are people shocked that she spreads big lies? She is full of hate and was brought up in that atmosphere. She also loves The Former Guy for the same reasons.
Big money buys a lot of crazy. She has lots of big hateful donors.
Political violence and extremism
In an interview with gun activist Chris Dorr on October 27, 2020, a week before election day, Greene told viewers: "the only way you get your freedoms back is it's earned with the price of blood."[234] On January 29, 2021, The New York Times detailed Greene's support for and past ties with extremist militia groups, including the Three Percenters and the Oath Keepers; both groups had members participate in the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.[191]
Rhetoric involving killing of opponents
Greene on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in 2021Greene has called for the execution of Democratic politicians and FBI agents, whom she alleged were part of the "deep state" against Trump
From Wikepedia…en.wikipedia.org/…
Marjorie Taylor Greene is among a dozen GOP lawmakers targeted in billboards paid for by an anti-Trump Republican group.
The billboards from the Republican Accountability Project (RAP), a group formed by critics of former president Donald Trump earlier this month, call for the resignation of congressional Republicans, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, after the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6
Maybe just maybe Jan 6th Committee needs to call Green to be interviewed. Me thinks she knows a whole lot more of what went down before she even got her feet wet in congress. There are some republicans who have erected this sign and planning to have her opposed in 2022. We need to make that happen or support those who do . She has BIG donors.
