Republican Greene feeds division in US – “Putin’s tactics” Italy dries up

Right-wing extremist, conspiracy theorist, Trump ally — and often the loudest with controversial statements. Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to attract attention in the US Congress. Not least in US President Joe Biden’s ‘State of the Union’ speech.

Biden deliberately triggered the Republicans’ chav faction. Greene and her like-minded people jumped out of their seats and yelled “liar, liar,” a total no-no during a presidential speech. Because of her behavior, the controversial Georgia State MP has earned the title “White Trash Queen.” Now she’s back in the spotlight: She calls for the final division of the United States.

Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to split the US into red and blue

Greene is calling for a “national divorce” on Twitter. According to the far-right MP, the “watch culture” of the Democrats is getting out of hand. “We must separate red states (Republicans, ed.) and blue states (Democrats, ed.),” she writes on Twitter. Participation: The United States should be divided between Republicans and Democrats.

A suggestion that upsets many on the internet. Even the Ukrainian journalist Nika Melkozerova has alarm bells going off.

Ukrainian journalist warns Americans about Greene

Melkozerova warns on Twitter: This Republican is resorting to “Putin’s tactics”, which he also used in Ukraine. The native Ukrainian addresses the Americans directly: East against West, divide and conquer. This woman is dangerous to you.”

This kind of tactic has ruined their country because many people seem to rush such statements. Melkozerova is sure: the Republican calls for separatism.

Dangerous: Greene has long been regarded as an influential Republican who owes her rise to ex-President Donald Trump. However, according to Spanish celebrity chef José Andrés, it only causes problems.

Greene’s dangerous black-and-white thinking

The founder of “World Central Kitchen” is committed to helping the victims of natural disasters. With the help of his non-profit organisation, he ensures that they receive a hot meal. “What we need are leaders who work to solve problems”he writes on Twitter.

For him there is no red against blue. Republicans and Democrats are neck and neck in many US states. In other words, Greene’s black-and-white thinking makes no sense. No US state is 100% red or blue on the political map. Greene needs to change her “apocalyptic view of the United States and get people together,” Andrés demands.

Journalist Richard Stengel explains why a split would obviously also be bad for Republicans.

In four points he clarifies how the Republicans benefit from the Democrats:

In addition, a split in the United Nations of America is unconstitutional, says fellow party member Liz Cheney.

Partition of the United States is unconstitutional

Republican Cheney has repeatedly opposed Trump, making many enemies within her party as a result. Now Trump critic Greene is remembering the guiding principles of the United States.

The US is governed by the Constitution. Greene swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. “Secession is unconstitutional. No member of Congress may approve secession» writes Cheney on Twitter.
