'We're in hell': Horrified critics share video of Marjorie Taylor Greene presiding over the House

Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene briefly presided over the House to the horror of her critics.

A video of Ms Greene wielding the speaker’s gavel went viral on Monday night as she momentarily replaced Kevin McCarthy, taking on the role of speaker pro tempore.

“I could get used to this…” the far-right lawmaker declared on Twitter.

Her critics, however, expressed the opposite sentiment, summed up with one comment: “We’re in hell.”

This should be any self-respecting Republican's moment of truth! Joseph McCarthy moment, that is!

They don't know their history, is a big part of the problem. Their overlords / oligarchs have kept people running in place and losing income and status for so long, they don't have energy to become truly educated or hone their discernment.

That's the plan!

He was always right up there when Hitler was addressing the assembly (which almost always happened at the Kroll Opera House after the Reichstag was gutted by fire.)

"We're in hell" -- makes them feel so powerful.

The only smart response is laughter.

She's whistling past the political graveyard, and her only defense is a know-nothing attitude.
