More than 30 million people viewed a short video of Marjorie Taylor Green speaking about what the Biden administration is doing to the country. If you haven’t seen it, here it is:
It’s not about the words she spoke. Greene appears to be framing Biden in a certain way, assuming people will accept her framing and vote Biden out. In more popular jargon among right-wing politicians, she is attempting to “own the liberals.” You know, because that’s what the crazies do.
It didn’t quite work if that was her assumption. Biden received a lot of free, public media because of the way their campaign used words she spoke. It was a moment of brilliance on the part of team Biden in a campaign expected to have many advertisements. Biden got the better of Greene in this face-off.
It is early in the campaign to think much about a single advertisement. I enjoyed this one and as it runs its course, will forget it just as quickly as it was created. The lesson is not only do words matter, the context in which they are spoken does too. When words like Greene’s are spoken in the right-wing media echo chamber, the speaker should do a reality check, something she didn’t do before the Turning Point conference where she unwittingly made a Biden Harris ad.
