Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has ignited controversy by advocating for the division of the United States into two separate nations, one “red” and the other “blue,” amid claims of an impending civil war. Greene, known for her far-right views, appeared on Fox News on Tuesday to defend her position, with host Sean Hannity questioning her on how such division could be healed without a split. While Greene stated that she doesn’t want a civil war, she argued that the nation was moving in that direction and action must be taken. “The last thing I ever want to see in America is a civil war. No one wants that — at least everyone I know would never want that — but it’s going that direction, and we have to do something about it,” she said. Greene claimed that she speaks with many people who are “sick and tired and fed up with being bullied by the left, abused by the left, and disrespected by the left.” She went on to state that “our ideas, our policies, and our ways of life have become so far apart that it’s just coming to that point.” The Congresswoman’s position was outlined on Twitter on Presidents’ Day, where she called for a “national divorce.” Greene suggested that the nation should be separated into red and blue states, and the federal government should be reduced in size. She described it not as a civil war but as “a legal agreement to separate our ideological and political disagreements by states while maintaining our legal union.” Hannity questioned Greene on whether she believed that the left and right could work together or if there was a “growing move” towards a split because the “divide is so deep.” Greene responded by saying that she thinks “this is a much bigger movement than most people in Washington even realize.” She added that the response to her message “should tell people a lot.” We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are… https://t.co/Azn8YF1UUy — Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) February 20, 2023 The Congresswoman’s call for the division of the US into separate red and blue states has been met with widespread criticism, with many labeling it as a dangerous and unpatriotic idea. Some political commentators have pointed out that such a division would be highly impractical, with many states having mixed political leanings. Others have questioned how a split could be achieved peacefully and without violence. This is not the first time that Greene has courted controversy since being elected to Congress. She has been accused of promoting extremist views and supporting conspiracy theories, leading to calls for her to be expelled from Congress. People saying national divorce is a bad idea because the left will never stop trying to control us literally make the case for national divorce. We don’t want a civil war.We’re not surrendering.We’re tired of complaining with no change and want to protect our way of life. — Rep.
