'I can't process it': Marjorie Taylor Greene takes Supreme Court ruling as personal blow
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she was personally harmed by the U.S. Supreme Court after President Joe Biden's administration won a case related to social media censorship.
In a Wednesday 6-3 ruling, the high court reversed a lower court's decision that limited the Biden administration's ability to communicate with social media companies. Two states brought the case, claiming they were harmed by the government's efforts to stop the spread of misinformation about COVID-19 and elections.
"I'm shocked," Greene told convicted criminal Steve Bannon on a Wednesday podcast. "It's a war on our First Amendment rights, and this was a heavy blow. This was basically one that may sink the ship."
"When you've got the Supreme Court weighing in, that social media companies can censor Americans' free speech, that it's completely fine with the government to join in," she continued. "Millions of Americans died because of COVID-19, and children are still behind in school.
"Natural immunity all of a sudden became dangerous, and people were murdered on ventilators in the hospital, and our Supreme Court just sided with censorship of people's ideas."
"With the sociopathic tech overlords, right?" Bannon pressed.

"Absolutely," Green replied. "You know what, Steve, I can't process it, because to me, it's, this was a debilitating blow in our war, and I think it's, I think it's bad."
Greene insisted she was frustrated and "rocked" by the court's decision.
"And I'll tell you, as a member of Congress, I myself was censored by these social media companies," she pointed out. "Evidence has showed that I'm — no doubt about that — 100% right."
"And I paid the price with my own money," she added. "Nancy Pelosi fined me $2,500 every single day because I refused to wear a mask on the House floor."
"I was treated like the scourge of the earth because I told everybody I'm not vaccinated, and I refused to get the vaccine and will not ever get the vaccine. But this is what the Supreme Court did to not only me, but to Americans."
