Does it occur to anyone that putting MTG on such a large national stage might well inform many viewers of just how totally nuts that woman is? 60 Minutes is a program watched by many people who likely have never watched the Fox cable channel and many of whom may be more liberal than "conservative".

Judith, are you familiar with Dr. Bandy Lee?

A tweet from her in Jan.: 2021

Bandy X Lee, MD, MDiv

@BandyXLee1

What do I think of Marjorie Taylor Greene? There are obvious signs that she is unwell, dangerous, and criminally-minded. Disease will spread where conditions are set up for their spreading, and this is why I have advocated for attention to mental health, not purely politics.

A more recent tweet regarding what can be done to decrease the risk of violence:

As long as Donald Trump has a public megaphone, the country will continue to grow more dangerous. Taking it away from him is the first step toward our safety.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Tim Snyder give the same warnings. The violence is contagious. It’s a serious public health issue more than a political issue.

Find it hard to believe that anyone hasn’t heard the 💩💩💩 she spews. Normalizing the sickest among them is a big mistake. They did it to tffg in 2015-16. It’s happening again, only she’s even sicker.
