Texas congressman calls Marjorie Taylor Greene an 'idiot' during social media spat

A Texas member of the House of Representatives had some choice words on social media for Freedom Caucus politician Marjorie Taylor-Greene. Greene, the Georgia U.S. Representative who was permanently suspended from Twitter on January 2, criticized Texas' Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) on social media for saying that President Joe Biden needs to get the pandemic under control on a December 30 Fox News interview.

"So what the federal government should be doing, again, is using their FEMA resources to bolster a lot of these testing sites, open up new testing sites," the former Navy SEAL turned congressman said on Fox News.

Greene, who was banned from Twitter for violating its COVID-19 misinformation policies, said on Instagram that FEMA shouldn't set up testing sites for "sneezes, coughs, and runny noses."

She went on the say that Crenshaw is hurting the conservative brand.

Crenshaw, who has been critical of Greene and her Freedom Caucus before, responded to Greene's criticism in an Instagram story saying, "Hey, Marjorie, if suggesting we should follow Trump [SIC] policy instead of Biden mandates makes you mad, then you might be a Democrat — or just an idiot."

add this insult, by a fellow republican no less, to single campaign video against her with all the other idiotic pronouncements she's made. But then I thought, wait. She's made enough stupid statements for who series of brief, 15 second commercial to run a new, hard-hitting one every week for months during the campaign.

And how advertising works, repetition is the name of the game for ads to sink in to the pubic consciousness, a new one of these every week with the same mucic and voice over but highlighting yet another instance of her idiocy, could be very effective in helping to defeat her.

And with the same format, introductory music, voice over and short length, they'd be quick hitting and relatively inexpensive compared to other campaign ads. They could run on TV and online too.
