Imagine this...
"SHE'S A WITCH, BURN HER!"
An American far-right politician, member of the Republican Party, businesswoman, and conspiracy theorist who has been the U.S. representative for Georgia's 14th congressional district since 2021 was elected to Congress in 2020 . There's no need to mention her name.
Before running for Congress, due to her conspiracy oriented mindset, she supported calls to execute prominent Democratic Party politicians, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Later, she included Nancy Pelosi on that assassination list.
She doesn't always tell the truth. [1]
She wants to impeach Joe Biden for being a good president. She falsely claims that he's corrupt. [2]
On Wednesday she showed what appeared to be sexually explicit images of Hunter Biden, President Biden’s son, during a hearing of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee. Knowing these photos to be graphic, she gave a parental advisory to viewers.
She also sent it via email to all and sundry.
After the hearing ended, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the panel’s top Democrat, said in an interview that displaying the images was “completely irrelevant” to the hearing and “did not advance in any way the putative objective of the hearing.”
Greene’s move, he said, was “deliberately provocative and sensationalistic and voyeuristic,” adding, “I hope to speak to the chairman about this as an assault to the dignity of the committee.”[3]
IMAGINE THIS...
Now, imagine an alternate reality in which one member rises from his seat and solemnly states, "If a man was displaying salacious, non-consensual nude photographs of a female private citizen, he would be immediately ejected from this building and never allowed to return. Why should this scurrilous woman not be given the same treatment? For this, she should become persona non grata in civil society.
SHAME on her for lacking the decorum, courtesy and...(his voice lowering to a growl) any decency whatsoever to do such a thing!"
Pointing a finger at her, "SHAME ON YOU!"
Other representatives start rising from their seats and echoing, "SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!" while punctuating each word with a single clap of their hands.
"SHAME!" (clap)
"SHAME!" (clap)
"SHAME!" (clap)
As one, they advance toward the dais - clapping and shaming - while the vile miscreant is scrambling to collect her oversized pornographic photos. She suddenly leaps up and makes her way toward the exit, leaving behind her 3-toed ruby slippers.
The crowd begins shouting, "SHE'S A WITCH, A WITCH! BURN HER! BURN THE WITCH."
She races to find a hiding spot...but the angry mob finds her - with them still shouting "WITCH! WITCH! WITCH! BURN HER! BURN HER!BURN THE WITCH!"
However, unfortunately for she who cares nought for any others, she is caught and hog-tied.
This time, there is no one to stop them, unlike in the Monty Python film wherein the mob was convinced to see if she could float like a duck before burning.
Maybe they'll just "Lock her up!" ...if she's lucky.
