The Republican wing nuts continue their crazy shit in an alternate universe….
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) introduced a bill on Tuesday to award Kyle Rittenhouse the Congressional Gold Medal for “protecting the community of Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a Black Lives Matter (BLM) riot on August 25, 2020.”
The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest honor Congress can award an individual or institution. It is highly unlikely the bill will go anywhere in the Democratic-controlled House and Senate, and it has no co-sponsors.
Rittenhouse, who fatally shot two protesters in Kenosha and wounded a third, was acquitted last week by a jury of all charges, including intentional homicide…
…
Conservatives have praised the jury’s not guilty verdict in a trial that has divided the nation along partisan lines, embracing the argument that Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense and intended to protect local businesses.
A spokesperson for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who has offered Rittenhouse an internship with his office, told The Washington Post in response to Greene’s bill, “We are concerned that awarding Kyle with a Congressional Gold Medal will give him a big head during the internship with our office.”
Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) also offered Rittenhouse an internshipfollowing the verdict. And former President Trump said on Tuesday that Rittenhouse visited him at his resort in Florida shortly after being found not guilty….
Congressional intern?
The Hell with that Marge.Thats an insult for a man worthy of the Congressional Gold Medal !
Make him your Chief Administrative Assistant!
Make him the guy who cleans the toilets ……
Now what would be really funny would be if Rittenhouse’s medal got passed in both chambers, with the Squad voting present due to lack of provisions for paid family leave and Joe Manchin joining all 50 Republicans to vote yes.
THAT would be a stretch on the word ‘funny’….
I have a very macabre, snide, generally dirty sense of humor.
Alabama Republican AG Steve Marshall is threatening the capital city of Montgomery with a $25,000 fine for changing the name of a street named after Confederate traitor Jefferson Davis.
Alabama, as do several other Republican dominated southern states, has laws that prohibit changing the name of memorials to the traitors.
The Republicans, who passed such laws ,define themselves as “patriots” Why would a “patriot” try to keep a city from getting rid of the name of a traitor from their midst.
Gives new meaning to the word,”patriot.”
America is NOT gonna stand still……
Knowing ur REAL history will go forward …..
The truth WILL find its way……
