MTG says Pride flag has become a ‘symbol of aggression’ for an ‘evil, perverted, and hyper-sexualized agenda’

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has developed quite a reputation for saying what she really thinks and her take on the Pride movement, its colorful rainbow flag, and what it has come to represent is guaranteed to have leftists seeing red and screaming for her to be silenced.

For the first time, the movement which has morphed from its initial stated purpose of gay rights into a powerful authoritarian political force, is experiencing pushback from the American people who are sick of incessant homosexual propaganda being shoved down their throats and big corporations like Target aggressively pushing the agenda that includes the sexualizing of children.

On Monday, the fiery Georgia Republican rattled cages with a tweet that included a video clip of a discussion with conservative activist and commentator Charlie Kirk as well as her take on the Pride movement and its flag that she served up without sugarcoating it.

“The pride movement is not about rights for gay people anymore. Every American has equal rights,” MTG wrote. “️‍ has become a symbol of aggression that should be concerning to all Americans. This is an evil, perverted, and hyper sexualized agenda that is targeting kids and it must end!”

The conservative congresswoman recalled to Kirk how when she arrived at the venue for the recent Turning Point USA Young Women’s Leadership Summit, the Pride flag was prominently displayed at the Marriott-owned hotel in Texas where the event was held.

“You’re told you can’t say things like this, and I’m going to say it,” Greene said in the clip of her speech. “I just drove up today here at the Gaylord and I saw three flags. And one of the flags, which is just as big as the other ones — the United States flag, the Texas flag — was the rainbow flag. Shame on them! Shame on them for hanging that flag out there. Because it shouldn’t be about what people do sexually that causes us to hang a flag somewhere. The only flags that should be hung are the United States flag — and it’s big and beautiful in the back of this room — and a state flag. So, shame on the Gaylord!”

After Kirk said that the organization had tried to get the flag removed but was rebuffed, he turned to the controversial display of the rainbow flag in a subservient position at the White House during President Joe Biden’s big LGBTQ+ soiree over the weekend, a violation of US Code that drew criticism from many, including herself.

“Absolutely, I called them out because the Pride movement is not about rights for gay people anymore, that’s been totally determined for a very long time,” the GOP lawmaker said. “Every single American has equal rights. The equal right to vote, the equal right to buy a home, to have a job if they qualify for job qualifications, get an education, and so much more in America.”

“But that flag that you’re showing there, that the White House and Joe Biden prominently displays as more important than the United States American flag, has become a symbol of aggression. It’s an aggression in a type of form that should be concerning to all Americans, and it is to most Americans,” she told Kirk.
