| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, Tim O'Hourn from the Bullwark here with managing editor Sam Stein, who thinks he is funny. Others think he's repugnant. You know, the different views, different strokes, different strokes. We're here to talk about Marjorie Taylor Green. She's fresh off her star turn on real timers with Bill Maher. And then she was on the view today. And it was pretty chummy on the view. And we want to play the clips for you. |
| 0:23.2 | But before we do that, Sam, I'm wondering, do you have like a kind of global theory on what's |
| 0:28.0 | going on with Marjorie Taylor Green? You want to share it with the group? Sure. Well, first off, |
| 0:32.4 | fact check. One person thought I was repugnant. It was Stephen Miller. And I wear that with honor and pride. |
| 0:39.7 | Okay. People have actually brought that up to me. Be like, why did Stephen Miller say that? |
| 0:42.5 | And congratulations. We should mention, since it's election day, Andrew Cuomo endorser, Stephen Miller. |

| 1:32.1 | being provocative and stirring the pot is good no matter what. |
| 1:42.2 | In one way to differentiate yourself from a pack of people who are just like lemmings following Donald Trump is to occasionally not follow Donald Trump. |
| 1:45.3 | Now, you could do like the Tom Massey version of this, right? |
| 1:50.2 | And you could do the MTG version of this, which is slightly different than Massey. |
| 1:54.5 | And I kind of find myself going back and forth between the two of those theories. What about theory? |
| 1:55.2 | See that she's spurned? |
