Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (QAnon-GA) took to Twitter to appear to issue a veiled threat toward Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) for releasing a statement to offer testimony saying that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy told her that former President Donald Trump sided with the Capitol rioters when the MAGA crowd seized the building. Herrera Beutler tweeted out some information and urged other “patriots” to come forward and testify against Trump.
Marjorie Taylor Greene took a minute to let her Republican colleague know that “The Trump loyal 75 million are watching.” And, by the way, the number is 74 million, not 75.
Politico reporter Kyle Cheney called it “borderline witness intimidation” after sharing Greene’s tweet.

At least Marjorie Taylor Greene’s committees were taken away from her, making the QAnon wacko less powerful. That wasn’t enough to make her stop with the dangerous rhetoric, though. She needs to resign since she can’t hold office without issuing threats.
