Commentary: Despite What Marjorie Taylor Greene Says There’s Plenty To Fear From Christian nationalism
Marjorie Taylor Greene always says the quiet parts out loud. A clip shared by Right Wing Watch shows Greene trying to position herself as protecting children’s futures and helping families have economic opportunities under the guise of Christian nationalism.
Her attempted reframing of the ideology does not sound like a serious attempt at dialogue about the issue and sounds like the prelude to giving out marching orders. The rhetoric and tenor of her commentary and the policies Greene and others of her “movement” support are dangerous.
Despite trying to frame her extremism as a necessary move to “save America,” Greene doesn’t try to pretend she isn’t in favor of harmful ideologies like Christian nationalism. She also tries to feign ignorance about the harm she promotes with her words and actions.
Like others in her circle, Greene deflects from the gravity of her comments. But her attempt at positioning Christian nationalism as righteous and Democrats and others as “domestic terrorists” also signals to those willing to destroy Democracy that taking action is more than alright.
According to her Democratic opponent, Greene is more focused on building social media clout and a podcast fan base than actually serving the district. Army veteran Marcus Flowers won the Democratic primary last month and will face Greene in the November general election.
While he has tweeted Republicans have told him privately they can’t support her; few openly speak out against her rhetoric. Flowers specifically names her extremist views and rhetoric as reasons to unseat her.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene’s extremism, radicalism, and disinformation are a danger to our democracy,” tweeted Flowers. “They have no place in Congress. That’s why I’m running to unseat her.”
