In before 5 people say, "I would never have thought to see them agree."
If we can't agree that famine and genocide are wrong, you aren't human. I'm willing to give her that, at least.

Marjorie Taylor Greene joins Bernie Sanders in urging US to end Gaza famine
(www.theguardian.com)
MTGs motivation isn't "genocide is bad" like the rest of us though. MTG is in the "Jews are sneaky money stealing gremlins with space lasers" camp.
ding ding. take her vote, but side eye her the whole time
Idk Marjorie Taylor Greene is about as far from human as a featherless biped can get
Bernie Sanders: "I'm a socialist and I think we (can keep sending bombs to Israel but) need to end the famine."
MTG: "The Jews Control the Media. End the Gaza famine!"
Real Frog and the Scorpion situation going on here.
It's important to understand that they're not agreeing, though. She's an antisemite, while Bernie is a humanitarian. They may be advocating for the same end, but it is not for the same purpose.
A stopped clock is right twice a day.
A bigot saying something because they're a bigot is never right and are not deserving of any credence. And in this case, there are much better people calling out the horrors in Gaza. Promote them, not this scum.
We have entered the twilight zone.
I worry about her motivations given her past history, but the situation is far too dire to turn away people who can take the anti genocide position and keep quiet about their objectionable beliefs related to it. So yeah good on her, I hope they succeed.
and keep quiet about their objectionable beliefs related to it.
Yeah, nah, she's the polar opposite of that.
Frankly, I don't think her "support" accomplishes anything but to serve as fodder for those trying to push the narrative equating Palestinian supporters with anti-semites.
She’s not extreme enough to stand out in the current US regime, so she’s shifting strategies to stay in the headlines. Hopefully she’s really invested in doing the right thing.
Another shock and awe big mouth trying to stay relevant. I applaud you for staying positive enough to hope any of them are actually interested in doing the right thing, after they've given us so much evidence to the contrary.
One can dream. Marjorie and Elon gonna bring us peace.
Huh. Weird how she's all about peace on this conflict, but not so much on Ukraine. Wonder why...
I guess even a broken clock is right sometimes.
I know it’s a pipe dream but it’d be (darkly) hilarious if MTG pulled a reverse Fetterman.
Feels like this is celebrity tabloid shit.
People are protesting genocide but LOOK AT WHOSE STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER! AWKWAAAAARDD!!
I didn't reward the bait so I don't know if I'm way off base. But I'm assuming it's not just Bernie and Greene and there's literally no reason to tie them together except for "heehoo tiny incongruence make brain feel funny." I mean, it's genocide. You don't need to go "wow if these two are against you it must be bad" as if that actually means anything.
Did we suddenly jump to an alternate timeline? It makes me wonder if MTG either:
-
Is trying to be re-elected.
-
Actually changed her batshit crazy ways.
- She hates Jewish people and jumps at the chance to be vindicated in her beliefs.
She's just trying to stay relevant.
Feed MTG to the Palestinians. This will help solve problems and temporarily mitigate another.
