Marjorie Taylor Greene's Attack On Secret Service Director Manages To Backfire

It might seem weird to say something that a lot of people agree with and still get blasted with social media snark, but that’s what happened to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Monday.

Like politicians on both sides of the aisle, the Georgia lawmaker called on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign in the aftermath of the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

Greene is one of 12 Republicans and three Democrats who suggested they wanted Cheatle to step down during her House Oversight Committee hearing. The list includes Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.).

However, Greene’s particular demand became the subject of many snarky remarks ― all because of her choice of words on social media.

“I’ve never seen a more incompetent woman in my life,” the lawmaker wrote, before launching into a full-on conspiracy theory.

Given Greene’s notoriety for spreading other conspiracy theories, starting fights in Oversight Committee hearings and botching basic facts, perhaps it’s no surprise that many people keyed in on her use of the word “incompetent.”
