Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said a private business’s decision to not admit unvaccinated patrons was tantamount to “segregation,” her latest use of inflammatory language while spreading anti-vaccine messages.

The Republican Georgia congresswoman tweeted Sunday night a screenshot of a recent Instagram post from an Atlanta restaurant that included a door sign that reads “NO VAX NO SERVICE.” In its message, the restaurant said “[a]fter a few positive covid cases last week” it decided the rule was necessary..

Businesses have wide latitude to refuse service to particular individuals, though there are a variety of characteristics such as age or race that cannot be grounds for discrimination. The first-term Republican has repeatedly compared vaccination requirements and mask mandates to the Holocaust and other callbacks to Nazism. In June she

I’m so confused; I thought old Madge was in favor of segregation?

The vitamin industry takes billions from Americans on supposed-health “benefits”. But god forbid you get suckered into something that will actually, really save your life WHEN you get infected with Delta COVID. Strange nation. Weird beliefs.

What kind of INSANE 😱 ELECTED TO THE HOUSE WOMAN IS MTG 👿👿💩💩 EXPELL HER NOW😠🗽

She gets press why?

MTG is adept at putting her foot in her mouth!

Sick attitude 😒

For the life of me I cannot figure out why “ reporters “ waste their time sharing this demented individual’s rants. What a waste of their talents. Giving this hate speech a platform cannot be what they had envisioned for their careers.

Call it what you want, Covid is deadly! Get vaccinated.

This is wild..down right preposterous

MTG needs to be segregated out of Congress, out of Georgia, out of society.

It’s a shame, some of the Republican Senators won’t even help our Afghan Allies! We Republican voters did this, we voted these Republican into office and once again are proving they only care about themselves! Election Day we have the power to turn this around!

If I were a woman I would say, 'You don't let me wear a mask? I don't wear a bra'.

To stay on MTGs retoric..... Antiwaxxers should wear an armband (like jews in 1930ies Germany)... So vaccinated people knows to pass them in 'at least 6 feet' .... THAT WOULD BE RIGHT UP MTGs ALLEY.

Fuck that that is an anti-vaccine rhetoric that’s freedom rhetoric

Why do these people want to be victims so badly.

Media just gonna keep on amplifying these aggressive messages huh?

What about a the right to refuse service?

It is segregation that anyone can opt out of by getting a free vaccine though.

100 times worse than TRAILER TRASH!

Can we please segregate her

So what if it is segregating vacced from unvaccrd? Are unvacced a protected class? I don’t remember any laws prohibiting it. Who wants to be exposed to the virus?guess all those unmasked unvacced do. Please don’t go to the hospital if you get the virus. You made your choice.

Keep giving her air.

Get the jab, bitch.

This woman is a menace to our country. Vote her out.

Ankit Shah, a pediatrician with a law degree who teaches health law as a lecturer at USC. “Healthcare entities have your information and are prohibited from sharing it without your consent. That’s it. That’s HIPAA.” RepMTG

She counted that out on her troll toes.

Marj mtgreenee doesn’t really understand does she?

Why isn’t MTG in jail, yet?

I thought Republicans were ok with discrimination? Hmm🧐

WTF? But I expect no less!

No shirt, no shoes, no service

This woman's brain is damaged.

She can't create a right to spread a highly contagious and deadly virus. There is none.

One can choose to be vaccinated or not ... so if you choose not to get vaccinated you choose not to be accepted as a customer by businesses who choose to serve only vaccinated ... it is all free choice, no?

What do you want expect? She's a tRunt.

Stop covering this vapid know nothing

Lady...you need to dye your hair olive drab or something. You are giving blondes a bad reputation

Uh..Twitter fodder again. People...not a single one that I have ever met... Been able to choose the color of their skin. HENCE..SEGREGATION EVERYONE CAN CHOOSE TO HAVE THE VACCINATION OR NOT YOU ARE JUST TOO DISGUSTING FOR WORDS. ARE YOU ON DRUGS OR SOMETHING?

So she’s not for private property rights. Where have all the Republicans gone cause she ain’t one.

Oh *I* see, yeah. So a private business is FINE when they refuse to serve gay people, just not when they’re unvaccinated, right? Got it.

Segregation? Duh she's right and yes it's wrong of them.

She is vaxxd last time I checked.

Why is this woman even talking?!🤨🙄

Politico why would we care what Marjorie Taylor- Greene says

It’s best to let the opposition speak their mind, so you can understand what’s what. De facto she’s right, it is a segregation, but most certainly not the Segregation. Best to work for vaccination rather against an anti vaxxer. FDA approval would be a help. 👍🏻

Why all the fuss? If people who could, got vaxxed, this would not be an issue! This is stubborn or hateful people who just want what they want, when they want, screw everyone else.

This lady is wacky

It actually is segregation. A more important question however... If she opposes segregation for reasons of national health, why does she support segregation for reasons of ethnic discrimination?

Yeah, it will be segregation when the police sick the dogs on you for not taking the vaccine. Talking about equating not taking the vaccine to Jim Crow segregation. BULL SHIT!

She’s not yet done. Anyway, if you need any help with online research and writing, feel free to contact me. View my reviews/testimonials and contact me here Best Quality Guaranteed.

I bet she’s fully vaccinated

Her mouth is moving. But she has nothing to say.

Not stupid, Greene Stupid

Next time I’m too tipsy to get into a bar I’m going to claim that they are segregating me from everyone else. Oh wait I’m not braindead

Access to private property, business or not, is a privilege, not a right, unless you're a member of a group legally protected against discrimination.

Almost as bad as calling a simple voter ID law 'a return to Jim Crow'.

She just wants attention, stop reporting her crazy nonsense

No, it's called learning from mistakes!

Individuals have a right to personal health, but not public health. Our elected officials have the responsibility for keeping the masses safe from pandemics and she should be working for constituents not personal issues.

You know, we can all just not ask her questions.

She should be sued.

She is not!!!

White people need to be discriminated against a bit and enjoy what they claim doesn’t exist towards black and brown people. Maybe it’ll give them some perspective

feces throwing chimp

What about all those “No shoes, no shirt, no service” signs?

Her ignorance and illiteracy always comes through.

stop reporting on her - please

Teeth is relentless, she just can’t stop talking!

Well it is. Unvaccinated are nasty and vaccinated are not.

looks like the unvaxxed choose to be segregated...lol

Siberia would give her 25 years.

Sooo if your customer is gay, it's your constitutional right to deny them entry (cause Jesus finds it icky) but if they are highly infections, you can't keep them out? Got it. Still thinking MGT smacked her head too often on the bar while doing those cross fit pull ups.

It's also her latest demonstration of her stupidity. Segregation is the separation or isolation of a race, class, or ethnic group, according to Webster. Selfish people who choose not to get a vaccine that will stop further variants of a deadly virus don't meet that definition.

Good, now she knows how it feels...

Is this the same person that would say it ok for a company to not serve a 🏳️‍🌈 couple not allow a woman choice over her own body

So wait is she suggesting the government enforce their own laws on a private business?

She didn’t use “tantamount”. There is no way.

It's almost amazing the republican party has not done anything to her

Nutball! Full Stop.

So if I don't pay to get into a concert, I should be allowed in anyway? Or if I don't pay for a new BMW, I'm entitled to drive it off the lot? Her reasoning does not add up

She doesn't know what 'segregation' means does she?

Being from GA, she should be an expert on integration and segregation! Not sure that that's comparable to getting or not getting the vaccine!

It ain't easy being Greene.

In other words RepMTG says if you are Gay any private business has the right to refuse to serve you, but if you are conservative that’s illegal to refuse to serve them based on what they believe.

When will she be censured? She is a Congress person out of control!

I wonder would a bucket of water or getting a house dropped on her work better?

Georgia’s 14th congressional district, with 12% unemployment, high school graduation rate less than 80%, median household income less than $42K deserves better. Who honestly believes this district can improve with her representation?

SO WHAT! NO ONE TAKES THESE CLOWNS SERIOUSLY ANYMORE 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

SHE is the Poster child why CRT needs to be taught!

You guys do know that just because someone in Washington says something, it doesn't mean you have to run a story about it, right?

Why does this creature get so much publicity?

Next Marge is gonna say she's been forced to the back of the bus and has to use the 'Fools Only' door at the back of the Capitol.

But they can choose not to make a cake for a gay couple ?🤔🤔🤔

ICYMI …

Hi Karen 👋🤓

Unvaccinated? Stay out of public places. Lessons children learn early - choices have consequences.

So she means those who choose to recklessly endanger themselves and others is the same as those who chose to be black in white-dominated society.

Segregation : the policy or practice of separating people. Sounds spot on.

she’s making herself the victim by not getting the shot lmao

She just says whatever...

So let me get this straight: a private business CAN make a decision to discriminate by not serving gay people (e.g., a baker making a wedding cake for a gay wedding), but CAN'T discriminate not to admit unvaccinated people?

Truly dense.

Shame on you RepMTG !!
