Marjorie Taylor Greene's Attack On Secret Service Director Manages To Backfire

The Republican's tweet became the subject of many snarky remarks all because of her choice of words.

It might seem weird to say something that a lot of people agree with and still get blasted with social media snark, but thats what happened to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene  (R-Ga.) on Monday.

Like politicians on both sides of the aisle , the Georgia lawmaker called on  Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign in the aftermath of the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump .

Greene is one of 12 Republicans and three Democrats who suggested they wanted Cheatle to step down  during her House Oversight Committee hearing. The list includes Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.).

However, Greenes particular demand became the subject of many snarky remarks all because of her choice of words on social media.

Ive never seen a more incompetent woman in my life, the lawmaker wrote, before launching into a full-on conspiracy theory .

Given Greenes notoriety for spreading other conspiracy theoriesstarting fights in Oversight Committee hearings and botching basic facts , perhaps its no surprise that many people keyed in on her use of the word incompetent.
