Summary:
MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has accused Rep. Jasmine Crockett of orchestrating “political violence and terrorism” and has made her concerns known to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.
“A Member of Congress is organizing political violence and terrorism,” the controversial Georgia congresswoman wrote on X Thursday in response to a live stream titled TeslaTakedown.
The stream included several speakers on Wednesday, including Crockett, who discussed plans for non-violent political protests against Elon Musk’s billion-dollar Tesla enterprise.
Attacks against Tesla vehicles have been escalating since President Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election. Musk aligned himself with the MAGA movement during the campaign trail and has become a key figure in the administration.
Crockett said in the livestream that she “was truly here for very selfish reasons.”
“On March 29, it’s my birthday, and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down – yes!” she said.
The Democrat said that everything she promoted was non-violent but underscored that it was important “to stand for freedom in this country and for the constitution.”
“The best way to show that we are American is by using our constitutional rights and deciding we are going to engage in protests,” she explained.
My pleasure!
Here’s some additional context of this same political tactic and dynamic occurring in Iraq - the 1979 Ba’ath Party Purge:
The 1979 Ba’ath Party Purge (Arabic: تطهير حزب البعث), also called the Comrades Massacre (Arabic: مجزرة الرفاق), was a public purge of the Iraqi Ba’ath Party orchestrated on 22 July 1979 by then-president Saddam Hussein six days after his arrival to the presidency of the Iraqi Republic on 16 July 1979.
Six days after the resignation of President Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr and Hussein’s accession to President of the Iraqi Republic, Regional Secretary of the party, and Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council on July 16, 1979, he organized a Ba’ath conference on July 22 in Al-Khuld Hall in Baghdad to carry out a campaign of arrests and executions that included Ba’athist comrades, who were accused of taking part in a pro-Syrian plot to overthrow Saddam.
The list included most of the comrades who opposed Saddam Hussein’s rise to power after Al-Bakr, and among these was the former president’s secretary, Muhyi Abdul-Hussein Mashhadi. Names of people were announced and they were taken outside the hall and into custody; 21 of them were later executed. Ba’athist propaganda at the time showed that they were convicted of conspiracy and high treason to the party. Iraq subsequently cut off diplomatic relations with its fellow Ba’athist regime in Syria, accusing Hafez al-Assad of organizing the plot.

i was actually somewhat worried this sort of thing was going to happen at the last State of the Union, and was somewhat relieved when Al Green made it out unscathed (props to the king for speaking truth to power).
The main reason I post this example is to prove that hey, it’s not just Nazis, or Germany, or now sadly the US. Even though this administration is running the Nazi playbook, it’s important to note that this sort of thing happens all over the world, in many countries. What we haven’t seen since WWII is the dictatorships unifying and actively working to overthrow democratic governments.
We’re all at war with this cabal, these tactics and these policies - not because we want to be, but because they want to actively enslave, exploit, and exterminate us. The US is just the latest casualty.
