'Utter pond life': Marjorie Taylor Greene rebuked as she admits she's gone too far with political rhetoric

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene finally came to the realization that her heated exchanges in Congress were maybe "too intense."

Appearing on comedian Russell Brand's show amid the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, the firebrand Georgia Republican weighed in on the tense interactions with her congressional colleagues but defended herself, noting she was a "human" who makes mistakes, as per Mediaite.

In the episode aired on Wednesday, July 17, Brand asked if Greene had ever thought after saying something that, "I shouldn't have said that actually, that was a bit too intense."

"Yeah, of course," the congresswoman replied.

Marjorie Taylor Greene pointed at her 'fake eyelashes' remark at Jasmine Crockett

Admitting her reaction to her colleagues was sometimes intense, Marjorie Taylor Greene referred to her comments during a House Oversight Committee hearing in May. She engaged in a verbal onslaught against Democratic Rep Jasmine Crockett, saying her "fake eyelashes are messing up what you're reading." In return, the Texas lawmaker described Greene's physical features as "bleach blonde, badly built, butch body."

Greene asserted that no one had seen what had happened in the 45 minutes that led to the moment. "People only saw those clips, like, just within those couple of minutes where we're saying just outright nasty things to each other, but no one saw what led to that tipping point," the Republican said about the infamous interaction.

The firebrand ally of former president Donald Trump is among the most controversial lawmakers, who even went against her own party members. Earlier this year, she threatened to oust Speaker Mike Johnson and introduced a motion for the same in May. However, Republicans joined Democrats to retain Johnson on the speakership.

Greene said she would lose her patience when someone personally attacked the Republican presidential nominee or bashed her on social media.

"It's usually because I'm pushed and pushed, and I'm listening to them call Donald Trump' our orange messiah', or I'm listening to them personally attack me or they're holding up my tweets or social media posts on X and they're reframing my words and lying about what I said. And I'm having to sit there and take it and take it and take it," the staunch Trump supporter told Brand. "And yes, and those moments I have lost my patience and just charged the hill and said things maybe, in a way, I shouldn't have. But you know, I'm human, I'm not without mistakes."

On July 15, the first day of the Republican National Convention, she drew flak for slamming transgenderism, accusing the Democrats of replacing Easter Sunday with Transgender Visibility Day. She further said that there were only two genders.

Internet criticizes Marjorie Taylor Greene despite her acknowledgment of 'intense' exchanges in Congress

Refusing to accept Marjorie Taylor Greene's acknowledgment of going too far with her political rhetoric, netizens pointed out she made no efforts to correct her mistakes.

"Interesting thing here is both of these people are supposed Christians, both are utter pond life too," a user said.

"Victimhood at its finest, without even one glance in the mirror," another remarked.

"The problem is that she keeps doing it. Literally every day," added a third user.

"Those aren’t mistakes. She knows exactly what she is saying," read a fourth response.

"She's a walking talking mistake," another person wrote.

"What a waste of $200K she is. Taxpayers are getting nothing in return," a user commented below Mediaite's article.

"Marjorie Taylor Greene Admits to Russell Brand She’s Gone Too Far with Political Rhetoric: ‘I’m Not Without Mistakes’ It doesn't mean anything. It's like an alcoholic acknowledging that they're an alcoholic, while they're finishing off they're beer and grabbing another one. It's empty. Acknowledging you're a bad person or do bad things but making no effort to change what you agree is objectively wrong, is a hollow admission," someone else argued.

"It's true. Republicans can admit to mistakes. They just lack the ability to learn anything from them," an individual claimed.
