Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) received harsh backlash after raising the prospect of a so-called “national divorce” on Twitter.
On Wednesday, the Georgia Congresswoman shared a tweet suggesting that people moving from states such as California or New York to Florida should not be allowed to vote for a certain period of time.
“All possible in a National Divorce scenario,” she wrote. “After Democrat voters and big donors ruin a state like California, you would think it wise to stop them from doing it to another great state like Florida. Brainwashed people that move from CA and NY really need a cooling off period.”
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) responded, “There is no ‘National Divorce’ either you are for civil war or not. Just say it if you want a civil war and officially declare yourself a traitor.”
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) tweeted, “Don’t ignore this. I want you to see what a GOP-run country looks like. They will take your right to vote if you don’t agree with them. MTG may sound batty but she’s not kidding and she has fully behind her.”
The criticism was bipartisan, with Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) tweeting, “Retweet this message to Kevin McCarthy @GOPLeader if you think he should address whether he agrees with MTG or not? Do you agree the media should only ask this question until they get a direct answer? Easy yes or no.”
