Marjorie Taylor Greene has managed to gross out Twitter users with one of her latest Tweets.
The far-right GOP Rep. from Georgia had her personal Twitter account suspended last year for repeatedly spreading Covid misinformation (she kept her official Congressional account).
Last week, her suspension was lifted after new Twitter owner Elon Musk introduced an amnesty on banned accounts.
Greene has wasted little time questioning scientific advice regarding Covid. Last night she took aim at people who still choose to wear a face mask.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“So many people still wearing masks,” she began. “I just want to ask you. If a pair of underwear, really thick ones, high quality cotton, can’t protect you from a fart, then how will a mask protect you from covid??”
So many people still wearing masks.
I just want to ask you.
If a pair of underwear, really thick ones, high quality cotton, can’t protect you from a fart, then how will a mask protect you from covid??

Greene’s tweet has prompted over 3,000 comments. Some of her MAGA followers were quick to applaud her thinking on a topic she knows little about. Many others pointed out her lack of understanding of science.
Gas particles are considerably smaller than viruses or the airborne water droplets which can carry Covid. Gases like methane and carbon dioxide are odorless, but once combined with hydrogen sulfide and ammonia in the gut, become considerably more smelly.
Others just rolled their eyes at Greene’s latest display of class.
Dear God,
Your underwear isn’t designed to filter the air.
A fart is a bunch of gas molecules. They’re tiny, e.g. methane is 3.8 x 10⁻¹⁰ m. The coronavirus (1.25 x 10⁻⁷ m) is 3+ orders of magnitude larger!
If a molecule is a corn of sand, COVID has aircraft-carrier size. https://t.co/kaBwjoeH0D

It’s called free choice, Marj! FREE choice!

Covid travels via water droplets which are many orders of magnitude larger than the individual molecules that cause the smell from a fart.
But, science is not something conservatives excel at.

I personally think the mask is strange but it is not my choice. I should be free to never wear a mask and they should feel free to be smothered in theirs. As long as it isn’t a mandate I have no issue with a person in a mask.

When we were all masked, the flu seasons were all but nonexistent.
Have you asked yourself why? I’ll help. Masks work.

Keeping it classy, like always.
You might possibly be the very first congressperson to type “fart” on Twitter. pic.twitter.com/dShsXN3KdZ

Mister P
I can’t believe the right wingers are still crying about masks. Since they have no ideas for anything they just whine about other solutions they don’t understand.

MTG obviously has no care or concern for others. One wears the mask when infected to slow the spread of the flu, colds, covid to others. The era of ego-centrism may not be over; but, volunteers like this ensure that their evil is front and center.
DCguy
Yet under this same screename you supported her and other right wingers a while back….ohhhh, right, I forgot that the right wing troll account always tries to rehab a screename or two once it’s been exposed.

@DCguy:
You mean the way you’re rehabbing the “Cam” account? Yeah, that kind of duplicity is sad and weak!

Face masks ARE effective, if you wear a high-quality one (N95 for example). I wear one 100% of the time in my (very limited) excursions into the public realm, and, as the vaccines don’t stop you from getting sick (which is why only 13% of people have gotten the latest booster shot), I plan to wear one in public for the rest of my life….unless and until we get better vaccines.
Honestly, the more unvaxxed/unmasked people die from Covid, the better for all of us in the long run.
Neoprene
Thank you for staying out of the public realm as much as possible.

I got really sick from Covid early in the pandemic (Mar. 2020) before there was anything to do about it. It’s horrible. True, you don’t want Covid, and it might be fatal. So… I got the vaccine as soon as I could! The vaccine & boosters might make you very mildly ill for a day but so what, believe me, there’s no comparison.
Your attitude is ridiculous. You might still get Covid and because you’re unvaccinated it will probably be really bad for you.

The new bivalent vaccine from Moderna is actually proving to be quite effective, but yes, if you are any enclosed or even outdoor space that approximates being in a soup of Covid-19, wearing a high-quality mask is still the best way to go.
Neoprene
She icky AF.
DCguy
I see the trolls are leaning towards DeSantis instead of Trump’s picks. LOL
Neoprene
I’m an Elizabeth Warren supporter, dear. I like smart, thoughtful leadership. I just hope if she runs again and unleashes an avalanche of plans, she can clearly communicate how she plans to fund them without doing the deficit-doesn’t-matter boogie.
Hope that helps with your “anyone who ever disagrees with me is a right wing troll” paranoia. It won’t, but that’s your problem, not mine, sweetie.

@Neoprene
Everything you say is a lie including “and” and “the.”

MTG is going to be the greatest gift to the Democrats in 2024. The next 2 years of watching Congress devolve into the MTG and Gaetz clown car show of chaos almost certainly washes away any hopes for them to get the WH, retake the Senate, or hold the House.
In other words, grab the popcorn.
DBMC
I think everything that comes out of her is a fart.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is explosive diarrhea in human form.
Mack
As a person with COPD I wear a mask when I’m around other people. So as far as I’m concern, she can F**K off.

For every moron, a platform.

A silly blonde at her best! In any case, it says a lot about the intellectual level of those who vote for her. Amourica at its Best. Lol

And what country are you gloating from?

Wow Marj.. Her stupidity knows no bounds….. First of all – she looks permanently pissed off. Secondly, I wonder why her estranged husband filed for divorce – would love to know the REAL reason(s)…. Imagine having to have sex with Miss Crazy Pants… Third : MTG needs to use a search engine BEFORE spouting UUNSCIENTIFIC drivel. No wonder the GQP is floundering..
