          Lol! Wow. So, you are going to make me copy and paste half the article here, instead of just reading it.

          Ok…

          Some Democrats have praised these recent remarks by Greene.

          Representative Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, told Newsweek he is appreciative of Greene’s recent comments.

          “I appreciate what Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying about health, home and auto insurance being unaffordable for most Americans and for calling out efforts to prevent any state from passing legislation to protect workers or kids from AI. I look forward to working with anyone in Congress to do something bipartisan on bringing down costs or AI,” he said.

          Senator Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, told CNN on October 9 that her messaging is stronger than some Democrats.

          “Well, she’s not doing better than me, but she’s definitely doing better than a lot of Democrats,” he said.

          Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, voiced agreement with Greene’s comments on the ACA credits in a post to X on October 9.

          “Millions of moms just like @RepMTG are worried about how their families are going to afford health care if the ACA enhanced premium tax credits expire. We can take action now to extend these credits. Let’s work together to get this done and prevent costs from soaring,” Shaheen wrote.

          House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Monday on MSNBC’s Katy Tur Reports that he has not met with Greene, but said she has had a “surprisingly enlightened few weeks in terms of her perspective on both the Epstein files.”

          Grant Davis Reeher, professor of political science at Syracuse University, told Newsweek that Democrats’ praise of Greene is representative of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” logic.

          “It seems more like straightforward political opportunism, and once again the issue of Trump, pro and con, is driving the bus,” he said. “Given all that MTG has said over the years, it seems very strange that any Democrat would align themselves with her, on anything. But these are strange political times.”

          Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science at the University of Mary Washington, told Newsweek that Greene recognizes that the Epstein scandal “is not going away,” while other Republicans would “prefer not to recognize” that.

          I’m going to stop there, because if you didn’t read that far down the 1st time, you probably aren’t going to read this far down, this time either.

            You can’t expect them to read anything that doesn’t agree with their worldview! Facts and reality is a lie by the media!
