Greene (R-GA-14) 11/29/2021: Twitter thread – “1. If Democrats move against @laurenboebert, who apologized, they'll only help Lauren and reveal their true nature. @IlhanMN committed immigration fraud by repulsively marrying her brother, revers Al-Qaeda, & refers to 9/11 Islamic terror attack as ‘some people did something.' 2. @SpeakerPelosi has already proven that she uses her position of power to attack her enemies. The Russian collusion investigation led by top liar @RepAdamSchiff has already been proven to be the real #BigLie, but Nancy won't apologize for wasting the People's time & money. 3. Instead, Pelosi is on her last destroy America stint in power, she's still abusing her Speakership with another fake committee just to spread more propaganda & lies against Republicans about J6. And it's laughable Schiff is on that witch hunt too. The Committee of Clowns. 4. Pelosi's defense of @ericswalwell is the one that should cause every single American serious concern. Swalwell was so dumb that he was easily enticed into a sexual relationship with a Communist Chinese spy. Shamefully, Pelosi protects his seat on the Intelligence Committee. 5. Well you know how Democrats are. They are #AmericaLast and #ChinaFirst and Hunter Biden has proven that all too well in his business dealings. Pelosi probably told Swalwell to take Hunter's racist advice & be careful who he sleeps with to protect our country's secrets. Link to image 6. With Islamic Terrorist sympathizer Israel hating Ilhan Omar on Foreign Affairs, the biggest proven liar in Congress Adam Schiff leading the J6 Clown Committee, & CCP spy lover Eric Swalwell on Intelligence, the whole country can see that… 7. Pelosi's absurd committee assignments and punishments can't really be taken serious. Instead Members who vote with her deranged abuses of power, clearly don't care about America's security or sensibility. Rest assured 🐘's don't forget.”

Massie (R-KY-4) 11/28/2021: Twitter thread – “When did the prevailing Democrat position change from “end the draft” to “expand the draft”? (I'm a Republican legislator who is for ending the draft.) Link to quoted tweetFor the first time in history, women may be included in any future military draft. (Women would be required to register with the Selective Service if this amendment becomes law) Before someone points out there's technically not a draft underway: substitute “Selective Service” or “future draft” for “draft.” The bill I've cosponsored would eliminate the Selective Service. Link to reply@RepThomasMassie You should be able to buy your way out of having to serve if you can afford to buy the government a predator drone to fight in your stead @AntiNurse ok, I will admit I laughed at this. But if people would just give the MIC their money, maybe we'd be engaged in fewer conflicts around the globe.”
