Republican National Convention: Marjorie Taylor Greene Attacks Transgender Individuals And “Illegal Aliens”

As one of the first big name speakers on the first night of the Republican National Convention, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) delivered a speech that started off somberly in references to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but quickly went into some of the red meat rhetoric that is her specialty.

“For far too long, the establishment in Washington has sold us out,” Greene said. “They promised unity and division. They promised peace and brought war. They promised normalcy and gave us Transgender Visibility Day on Easter Sunday,” Greene said.

Then she added, “And let me state this clearly, there are only two genders. And we are made in God’s image. Amen.”

She then blasted Democrats, saying then “ripped open our borders and allowed millions of illegal aliens to pour in, driving up the cost of housing and health care while slashing American wages and eliminating jobs….The Democrats’ economy is of, by and for illegal aliens.”

She also chided Democrats for spending “over $175 million, of your tax dollars, to secure Ukraine’s borders, but they tell us the border wall is too expensive?”

CNN carried Greene’s speech; MSNBC and Fox News did not.
