QAnon Klan Mom Marjorie Taylor Greene is running a malicious, hateful and disgraceful ad that is slanderous in the extreme. Leslie Stahl should be ashamed of herself for enabling this trash.
In her twisted and bizarre continued efforts to characterize the entire Democratic party, including President Biden, as "groomers and pedophiles," she has reached new heights of depravity.
On the day after Leslie Stahl, CBS News, and 60 Minutes destroyed their reputations by inviting Marge on their program, the Georgia Congresswoman posted an attack ad on her Twitter feed calling President Biden a predator.
In the tweet she writes: "I'll say it again: Democrats are the party of pedophiles." That's libel, by the way, especially given the number of Republicans being caught with child porn or accused and convicted of child molestation.
If there was ever a case for a president to sue another politician for defamation, it's here.
In the Times v. Sullivan (1964) 376 US 254.) The Court held that the First Amendment protects newspapers even when they print false statements, as long as the newspapers did not act with "actual malice."
But that case was decided against the media and not another member of Congress.
Marge's ad is "malice" in the first degree. It's slanderous as well as hateful and disgusting.
Rep. Greene took a series of out of context video clips, spliced them together, added a little stock menacing music and screamed "Pedophiles!" at the top of her lungs.
You can see the ad here.
As Fran notes in her tweet, the clip she twisted was then-candidate Biden encouraging a boy who stuttered just like Biden did. It's a despicable and yet typical Republican tactic. Instill fear in voters with malicious lies. They've been doing it for decades.
Twitter users were not amused by her Q-stunt.
Pedophilia doesn't belong to one party. It's a bipartisan thing that needs to be addressed, but Marge just called all Democrats pedophiles without offering any evidence. The authorities should check her browser history. She's thinking about pedophilia too much.
