Just one day after having her Twitter account reinstated, Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) accused California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) of being a communist groomer after he criticized the use of the term as a slur generally. The word groomer is categorically an anti-LGBTQ hate word, Wiener, who is gay and represents San Francisco in the California State Senate, tweeted. Its super homophobic/transphobic. It plays into the slander that LGBTQ people are pedophiles. Its no different than calling someone a ******. If you call someone groomer, youre inciting violence against LGBTQ people. Wiener wrote the tweet Sunday in the aftermath of the shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs that killed five and injured 18. Some far-right conservatives have taken to using the term groomer which refers to adults who build relationships with children so they can abuse them for LGBTQ people generally and gay men in particular, trading on an old stereotype that LGBTQ people are more likely to molest children (which studies over the years have shown is not true, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center).

The shooting happened on the night the club advertised a drag show, and some conservatives have increasingly tied the homophobic accusation to drag performers and transgender people, as KRON4 previously reported, particularly since the debate on the Florida Parental Rights in Education Act (disparaged by critics as the Dont Say Gay law) earlier this year. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has been criticized even within her own party for antisemitic and anti-Catholic remarks, quote-tweeted Wiener on Tuesday, stating: Pass my Protect Childrens Innocence Act to stop communist groomers like this from using state government power to take children away from their parents to allow a for-profit medical industry to chop off these confused childrens genitals before they are even old enough to vote. The Protect Childrens Innocence Act would make it a federal felony, punishable by up to 25 years in prison, for doctors to prescribe puberty blockers or testosterone therapy to minors, for the purpose of changing the body of an individual to correspond to a sex that differs from their biological sex, according to the Georgia congresswomans office. It also prohibits all taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care, her office states. Wiener quote-tweeted Greene early Wednesday, stating that her remarks are a pretty deft blending of McCarthy red-baiting & gay-baiting. For the record, her Protect Childrens Innocence Act comes pretty damn close to banning trans people from existing. Oh & [Republican House leader] Kevin McCarthy is going to re-empower her. Democratic State Assemblyman Matt Haney (San Francisco) chimed in, tweeting that Wiener is the target of some of the most vicious, hateful & violent homophobic attacks, and thanking him for calling out homophobia & hate.

The world will be a brighter place once she leaves it.

bitch has no business calling names to others when she looks like an ugly goblin that was farted straight from Satan's anus...

And she's a bought and paid for grifter whose only goal is to radicalize people against minority groups.

I would sooner rather be dead than be a MTG

What a stupid, vile **** that woman is.

She's not a grifter for herself. She's a grifter for the Party.

She's someone who isn't afraid to say stuff the Party can't outright say, and they'll wag their fingers if she gets too outlandish, but the Party is willing to bring those she courts into the fold of the Party.

It's dogwhistling but just point blank speakerphone

I'm just gonna post this in every thread about that MTG, forever.

They keep lobbing the term groomer around to devalue the meaning and make it unrecognizable when it actually happens. If they actually cared about groomers, they'd look at people like Matt Gaetz.

how ironic would it be if she was caught for being involved in actual pedophile shit...
