Internet slams Marjorie Taylor Greene for saying 'Democrats are straight up Communists'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman from Georgia, has once again sparked controversy with her recent remarks targeting the Democratic Party.

In fiery statement made to Fox News, Greene accused Democrats of being "straight up Communists" and alleged widespread abuse of power, including the surveillance of conservatives on social media and through bank transactions.

Greene wrote in her X/Twitter post, "The Democrats are straight up Communists! They have abused their power and spied on conservatives on social media and through bank transactions all for political reasons. We need accountability and a Republican party that’s willing to bring it!".

Her comments come after according to a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, the Biden administration has confirmed that terms like "MAGA," "Trump," and "Kamala" were part of the request made by federal investigators to banks to monitor private financial transactions following the January 6, 2021 protests at the US Capitol.

The letter, sent from the Treasury Department to Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), who chairs the Senate Banking Committee, explains that "Exchange events" organized by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) began shortly after January 6 during the prior administration.

These events included terms such as "antifa," "MAGA," "Trump," "Biden," "Kamala," "Schumer," and "Pelosi."

Greene's assertion that Democrats are "straight up Communists" reflects a longstanding narrative within conservative circles, painting the opposing party as embracing socialist or leftist ideologies.

"Marge who’s your next impeachment target?" one mocked her.

One user said, "What does any of that have to do with communism?".

"Help me out here…aren’t you the Republican Party?" asked another.

A tweet read, "All I can see with your posts is wah wah wah wah… yack yack yack yack. Why don’t you actually do something about it?"

"Marjorie, you really should have had the most basic education before running for congress," another user said.

"2021? Emails? Stop living in the past. It’s an election year. What have you done to uphold the constitution lately?" one concluded.
