Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Marjorie Taylor Greene literally just claimed that one Elementary school in Illinois received “$5.1 BILLION” to teach “equity and diversity” by teaching critical race theory.
The first two and a half minutes of Ms. Greene’s time was spent with her rambling about how she was happy to have taken a PPP loan (though she forgot to mention how that loan was forgiven while she was railing against student loan forgiveness). She also blathered about how everybody was hurt by COVID because of mask mandates, and how we have a big deficit, and how lots of money was spent on COVID relief, but she knows it was all wasted on secret globalist grooming events. Or some such madness that is not worth following.
She finally had a question for Gene L. Dodaro, comptroller general for the Government Accountability Office. “Can you tell me, as our Comptroller of the United States, how much COVID cash was given to abortion?” Mr. Dodaro said he did not know, but I can tell you how much: Zero point zero dollars. In fact, I believe the actual number is zero to the power of one-thousand zeroes. She points to the Republican talking point that Planned Parenthoods across the country reportedly received $80 million in PPP loans—like the one Marjorie was saying she was thankful for just a few minutes before.
Important question number two for Ms. Greene: “Can you tell me how much money COVID cash went towards diversity, equity, and inclusion, or racism issues?” Can you follow that? Mr. Dodaro couldn’t either and said he didn’t know. “Well, I can tell you the Pennsylvania Humane Humanities Council did receive 1.4 million and released and used it for equity and geographic diversity. I’m not sure how that helped in a pandemic time.”
Of course, given how outlandish her claim was, Twitter responded appropriately. See some of our favorites below.
YouTuber and author Ward Carroll asked, “Why do I feel like she’s just riffing here?” Twitter user Brandon Baumgartner got in perhaps the best zinger when he said: “That’s what I heard too… Obviously her elementary school didn’t even receive $5.10 to teach basic numbers to her.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene, the personification of your racist aunt’s Facebook feed and the representative for the 14th congressional district in Georgia, is back at it.
This time, during a congressional hearing, she claimed that an Illinois elementary school (which she, of course, didn’t name or offer anymore identifying characteristics for) was awarded $5.1 billion to teach critical race theory, which she called “a racist curriculum used to teach children that somehow their white skin aren’t equal to Black skin.” (It’s actually the study of how the social conceptions of race are shaped by media, politics and preexisting laws.)
Mr. Dodaro is doing his best not to say What the F are you talking about? and instead says, “I don’t know that. But I do know that there’s provisions that the federal funds generally are not used. They’re supposed to be used for curriculum.” Hehe.
It is here that Ms. Greene takes her biggest swing at the fence of make-believe, saying, “Oh, Mr. Dodaro, I have to tell you in Illinois that they received 5.1 billion. At at an elementary school there that used it for equity and diversity.”
So when she was asked to clarify what she meant by CRT (critical race theory), an academic concept about systemic racism that is taught in universities, she was at liberty to define it as a “racist curriculum” that is “used to teach children that somehow their white skin is not equal to black skin.” (See video below.)
The unleashed white supremacist sympathizer then went on to say that one elementary school in Illinois “received $5.1 billion for equity and diversity” – as if any elementary school would receive that much money from the government, and as if receiving money for equity and diversity is a bad thing. Her outrageously bogus remarks make George Santos seem like a normal person. (Well, almost.)
Important question number three! “Mr. Dodaro, can you tell me how much how much COVID cash went to CRT?” Mr. Dodaro looked absolutely perplexed. He seemed to have not even gotten the pretend memo about CRT being a thing in existence. At all. Rep. Greene was not deterred—she isn’t interested in answers to anything she says anyways, right? “CRT, Critical Race Theory and Education. It’s a racist curriculum used to teach children that somehow their white skin is not equal to black skin and other things that education [sic].” Yes, even her mind gave up at the end of that made-up sentence about CRT, and she phrased it “other things that education.” That … education.
