Good riddance. She's lucky she stays in Congress.

All these utter fools need to do is take some responsibility for their actions, apologize, SAY THAT THEY WERE WRONG, and say what they are doing about fixing their behavior, and move on.
It's just not that difficult.
But no. Weasel words, wishy washy statements attempting to shift the blame elsewhere, and no commitment to change anything. I fail to understand how someone could look up to people like Greene to represent them.

It's likely a significant portion of voters in her district subscribe to the views she expressed. She only half apologized as a tactic to head off any attempt to expel her from the House. If she were to be expelled that could be a catalyst leading to expulsion efforts against Hawley and Cruz in the Senate.

from twitter:
Sen. Ben Sasse to the Nebraska GOP State Central Committee: "You are welcome to censure me again. But let’s be clear about why this is happening: It’s because I still believe, as you used to, that politics isn't about the weird worship of one dude."

Ask her who won the last Presidential election.

What a load. She wore a Trump Won mask on the House floor in January.

What an utter abdication of personal responsibility ... ironic that this is coming from a member of the GOP, the party that claims that each of us ought to be taking personal responsibility for ourselves.

Of course, you're right. It's funny, I'm kinda expecting that people will slowly emerge from their Trump-led daze, re-enter the real world and start using their brains again.
I have no problem with her being uber-conservative on matters of policy, it takes all kinds in a gov't. But I guess by admitting to this insanity of the past 4 years (I guess longer, for her), she would feel diminished or something. F___ing people sometimes.
