Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Laughable Typo Gets The Treatment On Twitter

Fellow Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger said he was “zero percent surprised” about Greene’s gaffe.

Move over “gazpacho police,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is back with a brand-new gaffe.

On Wednesday, the extremist lawmaker caused much mirth on Twitter when she wrote “commander and chief” instead of “commander in chief” while clashing with conservative commentator Bill Kristol.

She also wrote “your” instead of “you’re.”

I tell you what pumpkin.

How about you suit up and report to your commander and chief yourself and tell him your reporting for duty.

You might want to train a little first, the only thing in shape on you and prepared for war is your little Twitter thumbs.@BillKristol https://t.co/b4bbsmUY8k

Twitter suspended Greene’s personal account in January for repeated violations of the platform’s COVID-19 misinformation policy. She continues to post on her congressional account, though.

Critics predictably pounced on her latest snafu:

I mean seriously, if anyone is going to say “commander and chief” it’s her. She literally has no idea it’s commander in chief and I’m zero percent surprised. https://t.co/kpKrkovHIZ

Welcome to America where you don't even have to know the proper title of your president to serve in congress. Ok, please tell me America has not been dumbed down to some of the lowest levels in this modern day society (by the republican party I'll add). Way to go @RepMTG 🤦♀️ https://t.co/gDAOpLId9K

Marjorie Gazpacho Police Greene is back at it again just shitposting through her one term in Congress with no Committee assignments. https://t.co/6x8fAl9Whd

THIS JUST IN: Calling people “pumpkin” doesn’t make you correct

Many people think it's just one person, but no, it's two: the commander and the chief, working simultaneously like God the Father and the Holy Ghost https://t.co/fhnf2J2vZE

Commander AND Chief 🤣🤣🤣

"Your", denotes possession.
"You're", is a contraction of "You are".

I'm a naturalized citizen; English is my second language. Yet I've managed to learn to navigate the intricacies and nuances of our language. What's your excuse Congresswoman? 🤣🤣

Were it not for her inexplicable election victory, Marjorie Taylor Greene would be yelling incoherent QAnon bullshit at some hapless teenage clerk in a Georgia gas station because they were out of Virginia Slims and it was all Biden's fault. https://t.co/PxzzYzQuau

Commander "and" Chief? Really? Seriously? Apparently your "little twitter thumbs" could use a few grammar lessons from @BillKristol's little Twitter thumbs... https://t.co/dd6ZdCg6xi

"Commander and chief" is the head of the Gazpacho Police, where there are lieutenant corporals, as well.

All serving King John.

It's “commander and chief” at Gazpacho police, but here on Earth, It's Commander In Chief, genius.

Isn’t this your government account? The one you are supposed to use to inform your constituents about the work you do for them? The one you said would be professionally handled by staff? I guess you are so addicted to Twitter that you can’t help yourself. Weak

What is it about the word "dictionary" that scares you so much?

For the love of God, ma'am.

What has the English language done to offend you?

Clearly written personally by Taylor-Greene, as proven by wrong use of basic English words.

*“commander-in- chief”, not “and chief”

*“you’re” is the correct word, not “your”
