Marjorie Taylor Greene Torches Matt Gaetz On Twitter

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) online following the drama that unfolded earlier this month during the battle for who would be the next Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The remarks from Greene come as the 48-year-old lawmaker has undergone an aggressive rebranding following her chaotic first days in office.

Greene’s efforts have resulted in her breaking away from the fringes of the party and becoming more of a team player, which has elevated her profile in the Republican Party.

Gaetz congratulated Greene for gaining spots on key committees after Democrats forced her off her committee assignments during her first term in Congress.

“Bravo @mtgreenee!” Gaetz tweeted. “She’s going to do amazing work for the people on these key committees she has EARNED. ‘Rep. MTG of Gerogia is back on committee assignments now that Republicans have retaken the House and the Rep. Gaetz-led revolt has put some steel in McCarthy’s spine.’”

Greene responded, “Thanks to @SpeakerMcCarthy & Steering for voting me on the committees I requested on the submission form most of us filled out.”

“Too bad we’re weeks behind after you spent a week only getting MTV from 5 to 1,” Greene continued. “As the leading MAGA voice in Congress, I look forward to committees.”

MTV stands for “motion to vacate.” It previously took multiple members of Congress to bring forward a motion to vote on the ousting of the Speaker of the House, but now it will only take a single member. According to NBC News, “The threshold for bringing a motion to vacate stayed at just a single member of Congress until 2019 when Democrats took the majority,” and raised the threshold.

Gaetz seemed stunned by Greene’s response, writing: “Well, we got a few other things but I’m thrilled the MTV is back to the pre-Pelosi standard. Totally worth it!”

“We the People will be in better hands with MTG holding the corrupt Biden Admin accountable via committee service,” he continued. “I’m so here for it.”

“The rules package did not change at all from Jan 1st to Jan 6th, except MTV went from 5 to 1,” Greene responded. “Literally anyone can read them online and see that. All substantial negotiations happened in conference & 5 families meetings before the 15 ballots starting on Jan 3rd.”

Dak Played Lights Out On Monday Night, But Here’s Why He Will Never Win The Big One

Dak Prescott had a hell of a game on Monday night in the dispatching of Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but make no mistake, that has not been nor will be the norm.

Prescott has been the model of inconsistency in his career, including the playoffs, and now they’re going on the road to face the most consistent team the league has to offer in the San Francisco 49ers.

Even with rookie quarterback Brock Purdy — who is balling by the way — the 49ers have more pieces than a big ass puzzle.

But it all goes back to me not trusting Dak.

After the Cowboys loss to the Jags, he was the league leader in interception percentage while playing in way less games than pretty much everyone else.

Listen, Dak had a great game against the Bucs: He threw for 305 yards, was 25 of 33 for a 76% completion rate, averaged over nine yards per completion and had one rushing touchdown.

The last time he threw for over 300 yards was at home against the Eagles.

But all that was accomplished against a dysfunctional team with Tom Brady on his way out and coach Todd Bowles most likely on his way out as well.

From a purely analytical perspective, I don’t trust Dak to have a similar performance against the 49ers the same game as he did against the Bucs.

Coming off his best games, Dak tends to turn the ball over in follow up games — at least twice.

Also Dak has what I call the Carson Wentz syndrome — when it goes bad, it doesn’t just go bad, it goes “five alarm fire” bad. Dak doesn’t just make mistakes, he makes catastrophic mistakes and we have seen it in crucial moments down the stretch.

He still has never made it past the divisional round and is 2-3 in the playoffs, and even though he was efficient and effective against the Bucs, I don’t trust him against a team that isn’t dysfunctional.

But the Cowboys have a great defense, you say. Yes, but it’s not yet at the level of the Ray Lewis Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl winning defense. That defense made Trent Dilfer look good. And the Cowboys certainly don’t have a defense at the same level as the 49ers.

I like Dak Prescott. I like the way he handles his business. He’s the ultimate professional and you don’t hear about a lot of off-field drama. I just don’t see four great back-to-back quarters coming from Dak.

The Cowboys have a good defense and they have the pieces on offense around the quarterback, but in my opinion — and it’s nothing personal — they just don’t have a championship quarterback.

The San Francisco 49ers, on the other hand, are the most balanced team playing with the best personnel.
