Not content with comparing the D.C. jail to the Gulag (has she ever read Solzhenitzen’s book or anything else about the Gulag?), Marjorie Taylor Green has accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of operating a “Gazpacho police.” Now, the Senate cafeteria is famous for its bean soup, but I’ve never associated the House with gazpacho. I doubt that anyone else has, either. Mona Charen saw a tweet today wherein someone wondered whether the Gazpacho operated in Vichysoisse France.
This is a member of Congress, folks. She compares an American city jail to a brutal series of concentration camps mostly above the Arctic Circle in which a cruel and inhuman regime worked and starved political dissidents to death (or did she mean to say that the D.C. jail is a goulash?), and then goes on to confuse the Gestapo- Hitler’s secret police- with a cold Spanish vegetable soup. I’m speechless, and very few things make me speechless. If only Rep. Greene, who regularly embarrasses herself, her constituents, the Republican party, and the nation, were speechless more often, it might be a good thing.
This is Donald Trump-level cluelessness, and that says a great deal. In the words of our last president in commemorating Bin Laden’s victims, “Never forget Seven-Eleven.” And as he also once reminded us, we should always remember and honor the heroic soldiers of the Continental Army, who courageously liberated the airfields from the British during the Revolutionary War.
The idiocracy is real.
