Georgia representative separate red and blue states, which, besides being ridiculously impractical, harkens back to how the Confederacy tried to secede from the Union during the Civil War. Now she’s demonstrating a basic misunderstanding of how elections work.
The incredibly annoying elected official tweeted that Donald Trump won the election in 2020, which he didn’t but that’s the rhetoric of the right wing and their endless mission to “troll the libs.” That’s par for the course; what takes it to the next level is that Greene’s own words own her more than anyone else ever could.
Take a look.
Let’s do a quick constitutional lesson here. This comes from the Twenty-Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, ratified in 1951.
Section 1:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. …
Greene was born May 27, 1974. That means for the entirety of her life, no President has been able to serve more than two . This means that A. either she knows and doesn’t care or B. she’s really just not an intelligent person. Each scenario is equally plausible, and perhaps both are true.
To play devil’s advocate here, there’s also the possibility that she’s just trying to rile up the libs. This is a pretty common tactic for Greene, who puts trolling liberals ahead of whatever else she’s doing. She’s good at it, by the way. Whether she’s screaming at the State of the Union address like she’s a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, she always gets attention for her antics.
Maybe the joke is on us.
