Marge Gets Schooled For Saying No One Cares About A Govt Shutdown

By Conover Kennard — October 1, 2023

Controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks Americans aren't worried about the looming government shutdown. I can assure that assclown that the over 1 million military members and furloughed civilian employees that would go without pay during a shutdown care a lot. Government shutdowns cause devastation nationwide, hurting working families, including in Marge's district.

Shutdowns are not only expensive, as they damage our economy, but they endanger our national security, too. And if Marge genuinely believed this, she wouldn't be blaming Democrats for the inevitable GOP shutdown.

This is what stupid sounds like:

“I promise you, most Americans aren’t too worried about the government shutting down…”
Really, @RepMTG? Is that so?
Let’s see about that, shall we.

Twitter users were not amused:

What worries me most about a govt shutdown is federal prisons. The last time govt shutdown my daughter Reality Winner experienced horrible abuse by BOP personnel who were angry about working with no pay.

.@RepMTG says “most Americans aren’t worried about the government shutdown”

What I can tell the congresswoman from Georgia is that 1.3 million military members and their families are worried. Because of the GOP shutdown at midnight, our brave men and women won’t get paid.

My son is US Forest Service and I can promise you he and his co-workers are worried about the shutdown AND the loss of their pay increase.

And many of those young officers & enlisted troops do not have the money in reserve to keep their families fed and housed. They are worried. Maybe Georgia moms & dads will see MTG in a whole different light when they are having to send mom to their kids & grandkids.

If they don't pay her she will become concerned. I guarantee it

Shutdown NEEDS to equal no pay or benefits for congressmen, senators, house, administrative staff, etc.
