A little bit of piling on here where in ticking off a litany of bad behaviors defined as beyond any pale you characterize behavior shy if that threshold as beyond any pale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headline: Marjorie Taylor Greene vandalized Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s guest book and taunted her in a deleted 2019 video<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question: what does it mean to “vandalize”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members of the group filmed themselves vandalizing the congresswoman’s guest book with pro-Trump messages and insults, and demanding that the congresswoman “come out” and “face” them. Greene wrote “you’re a traitor” and drew a picture of the US-Mexico border wall in the book. She also called out to Ocasio-Cortez through the mail slot in her locked door.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greene and her associates taunted Ocasio-Cortez and her staffers, calling the New York lawmaker a “baby” and referring to her office as a “daycare” and a “college sorority” because of a wall of Post-it messages left outside her office door by supporters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greene also encouraged her followers to travel to the Capitol and confront Democratic lawmakers.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have no idea if every congress critter on Capitol Hill has a “guestbook”, but if they do, open to the public, I don’t see how they wouldn’t be inserted with inflammatory partisan messaging. Maybe Marjorie Taylor Greene rips them out of hers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest arises to some levels of concern — open to debate the nature of it all — but we do have that basic”decorum” issue. But I fail to see this 2019 yeared “vandalism”. Or does vandalism have a secondary meaning of which I am not aware ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
