Donald Trump has launched a lot of ridiculous conspiracy theories in his time, and he's back this week with a brand new one. As Marjorie Taylor Greene fights for her political life in court, Trump came to her defense and actually accused Republicans in Georgia - specifically governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger - of somehow colluding with Democrats to allow the election challenge to move forward. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins tries to make sense of this claim.

Well folks, today is the day Marjorie Taylor Greene has of course, headed to court to defend whether or not she should even be allowed to be on the ballot. But before all of that even happened, Donald Trump came rushing into her defense to accuse Republicans in the state of Georgia of somehow colluding with the Democrats to kick Marjorie Taylor Greene off the ballot. Now, Donald Trump obviously is no stranger to launching conspiracies, but this one is particularly ridiculous here. This is what Donald Trump said in his statement this week. The governor of Georgia Brian Kemp and secretary of state Brad Raffensperger, perhaps in collusion with radical left Democrats, have allowed a horrible thing to happen to a very popular Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. She is now going through hell in their attempt to unseat her. Just more of an election mess in Georgia. Brian Kemp should be voted out, voted out of office. Vote for David Perdue.
Remember Brian Kemp will never be able to win the general election against Stacey the hoax Abrams, because a large number of Republicans just will not vote for him. Um, obviously David Perdue is Donald Trump's handpicked candidate to primary incumbent Republican governor Brian Kemp in the state of Georgia. Brian Kemp is out polling David Perdue. Kemp is out raising David Perdue in fundraising. And Donald Trump seems to be the only one that doesn't like Brian Kemp in the state. But enough about that. Back to Marjorie Taylor Greene, right? Who is allegedly going through hell. Oh, it's so sad, right? The hell that she created for herself. See that's the problem. None of these Republicans ever want to take any kind of personal responsibility for their own actions. The same kind of personal responsibility that they keep telling American citizens they have to have in their everyday lives. Right?
Oh, you're poor. You need to work harder. That's your fault that you're poor. Oh, you got pregnant. Well, that's your fault you got pregnant. You shouldn't have had sex. Take personal responsibility. Marjorie Taylor Greene on January 5th tweeted out, this is our 1776 moment. Kind of seems like she's supporting an attack on the government. You know, after all wasn't that what happened in the revolutionary war? We revolted against the government that was oppressing us. So yeah, kind of seems like she needs to take responsibility for the words that she said. If she wasn't encouraging the insurrection, she should have nothing to worry about. She shouldn't be going through hell. This trial, if you even want to call it that because it's not really a trial, but this hearing is exactly what kind of remedy the law calls for. If you've been accused of something, you're allowed to get up there, defend yourself, make your case and show why this is all BS. Yeah, it's a hassle. But if you didn't do anything wrong, you really shouldn't have all that much to worry about. Right?
And to somehow suggest that Kemp and Raffensperger, two very loyal Republicans whose only crime in the eyes of Trump is not breaking the law to give him the state of Georgia, to think that they might be colluding with the Democrats to kick Marjorie Taylor Greene off the ballot. That's borderline insane if you ask me. Although, I will point out that Marjorie Taylor Greene is in a Republican.
