    Two things that shall never be as one.

    Integrity and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

    Indeed, the professionally outraged over untrue rhetoric representative has taken a Trumpian approach to facts, that being to totally reject them in favor of outright lies.

    In this case, the MAGALiar claimed than one elementary school, one, received $5,000,000,000 for CRT from Covid relief funds.

    Yes, $5 billion.

    One has to wonder, why do these people, those so closely aligned to Trump, have such a propensity for such outrageous lies, and such a lack of shame in telling them?

    Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was ridiculed over Twitter on Wednesday after claiming that an elementary school in Illinois had received over $5 billion in COVID-19 federal relief funding to be used toward critical race theory curriculum.

    Greene made her statement during the House Oversight and Accountability Committee's first hearing of the new congressional term, which focused on times when pandemic-related federal aid was allegedly used for waste or fraudulent spending.

    Greene in particular spent her portion of the hearing directing questions to Gene Dodaro, the comptroller general of the U.S. and head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO).


    "I do not know that," Dodaro answered. "But I do know there's provisions that the federal funds generally are not used...supposed to be used for curriculum."



    "Oh Mr. Dodaro, I have to tell you in Illinois, that they received $5.1 billion at an elementary school there that used it for equity and diversity," Greene tells the comptroller. "So it's being used for these things."
