Marjorie Taylor Greene, emboldened by the her softball 60 Minutes profile, has after all determined to be in New York Metropolis in the course of the Trump indictment. She’s certainly probably the most high-profile MAGA in attendance, and what’s taking place now makes Michael Che’s MTG-Joker comparability (which landed after his excellent April Fool’s joke on Colin Jost) appear downright prescient.
As one can think about, Greene appears to be in search of chaos. NYC Mayor Eric Adams tried to ward this off by straight addressing Greene with a warning, as reported by CNN. As Newsweek additional particulars, Adams declared, “Though we now have no particular threats, folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is thought to unfold misinformation and hate speech, she said she’s coming to city. If you are on the town be in your finest conduct.” Greene have to be thrilled on the mayoral shoutout, and she or he determined to take a “legislation and order” stance like her idol.
“Delusional @NYCMayor is making an attempt to intimidate, threaten, and cease me from utilizing my 1st modification rights to peacefully protest the Democrat’s unconstitutional weaponization of our justice system in opposition to our prime Republican Presidential candidate, President Trump,” the congresswoman from Georgia tweeted. “Mayor Adams ought to be extra involved about NY residents and taxpayers being murdered, raped, robbed, and carjacked than an elected Member of Congress coming to city.”

Upon her arrival, Greene continued her rant whereas claiming that town is awash in crime just like the pre-Giuliani days. Has she ever set foot in NYC prior to now?

Mayor Adams and Disgraced DA Alvin Bragg ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Then got here her meant kicker: “New York Metropolis seems like Gotham Metropolis.”
New York Metropolis seems like Gotham Metropolis.

One wonders if Greene has seen a Batman film from the previous twenty years, however in all probability not. And though it is doable that she’s in some way making an attempt to match Batman’s vigilante/at-times “wished”/misunderstood standing to Trump, I truly don’t suppose that was her intent, however I could possibly be incorrect? I don’t suppose Greene was even going that deep. I feel her complete intent was to shift the argument to what she would possibly contemplate “actual” crime and complain that NYC is in a shambles as a consequence of Mayor Adams. No matter her intent by typing “Gotham,” folks marvel if anybody ought to, uh, “inform her.”
NYC IS Gotham Metropolis you moron.

As properly, others advised Greene that she is free to depart, or recommending that she go see Hamilton (and get booed out like Pence). And sure, the Joker label is flying, too.
In contrast to Donald – you’re free to depart.
