Marjorie Taylor Greene's support rally for Steve Bannon turns chaotic as hecklers use cowbells and chants, Internet says 'love her tears'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On Monday afternoon, July 1, Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) held a news conference to rally support for Steve Bannon before his surrender to start a four-month prison sentence. The event was abruptly interrupted by protesters.

Greene traveled to Danbury, Connecticut, to be with her fellow MAGA supporter, who embraced her while portraying himself as a victim of political persecution.

Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene attributes protests to Democrats

At one point behind Greene, there was a sign displaying the words "bleach blonde, bad built, butch body," referring to the derogatory remark Rep Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) famously directed at Greene amid a recent altercation on Capitol Hill.

Greene and Bannon had to raise their voices over the din of cowbells and chants of "lock him up," as seen in video clips.

The chanting grew so intense that it almost completely muffled Greene's voice during the Newsmax transmission of the press conference, The Daily Beast reported.

As Greene started addressing the reporters, a protester's chant of "small d**k" echoed persistently.

Greene attempted to speak over the clamor, alleging that the nation's political parties were in essence at war with one another. This assertion was quickly countered by a collective chant of "Trump lost."

“Anybody else, or are they enjoying more cowbell?” Greene inquired, ultimately turning her attention to the protesters. “That’s all the Democrats have.”

Steve Bannon was found guilty of contempt of Congress by federal jury

The turmoil echoed the scenes from Peter Navarro's press conferences outside a Washington courthouse in September, where the clamor of cowbells and the presence of strongly worded signs disrupted his ability to speak without interruption.

Similarly, Bannon was convicted by a federal jury on charges of contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena to testify before lawmakers regarding the January 6, 2021, riots.

In addition, the contentious GOP-endorsed Senate candidate Royce White appeared to offer his support for Bannon, delivering, as is his custom, some peculiar remarks concerning Bannon's incarceration.

“When the gulag opens, all of you will be in it next,” he said, seemingly referring to the reporters present.

White is recognized for his hostility towards journalists and has even singled out The Daily Beast last month following reports of his failure to pay child support and allegations of using campaign funds for strippers.

Before the news conference concluded and Bannon surrendered to prison, he chose to end the event with a chant of "Take down the CCP," about the Chinese Communist Party. Subsequently, he received a blessing from a priest, and the conference came to a close.

Internet criticizes Marjorie Taylor Green

As soon as the news went viral on Facebook, users started reacting to it. A user wrote, "Why is MTGs bodyguard holding back the women with the sign? I guess Margie doesn’t believe in free speech unless she’s the one speaking. And I LOVE the cowbells!!"

Another user added, "Cowbells suit MTG."

A third commentator wrote talking about MTG, "She's always sticking her nose where it doesn't belong. Why doesn't she hang out in her district office and interact with her constituents?"

"When Liberals prove that they can't handle the truth..." a person mocked.

Another said, "I won’t/can’t even listen to her. She makes makes me sick."

A user added, "Doesn’t she have a job? I don’t think this is one of required duties. Dock her pay."

Another commented, "Love her tears!"
