Poor Marjorie Taylor Greene! Not too long ago, this taxpayer-funded troll knew how capture the news cycle for days with a glib comparison of public health officials to the Nazi brass or a shameless equivalence of COVID-19 mitigation measures to the Holocaust. She regularly drew juicy denunciations from famous Democrats. She even got the Anti-Defamation League and Holocaust Museum involved, which is like winning the troll lottery. But recently, the Republican congresswoman from Georgia has been suffering diminishing returns for her relentless, risible Nazi talk. Why, she went on Infowars last week to compare Dr. Anthony Fauci to Josef Mengele and barely anyone paid attention. To add insult to injury, the decline in attention also means that triggering-the-liberals money is drying up. 

Suddenly, in what is truly a tremendous stroke of good luck, Greene mispronounced a word. On Tuesday, during one of her approximately 8 trillion public statements accusing her perceived political opponents of being Nazis, Greene used the word "gazpacho" when she meant "Gestapo." She was on One America News when she very loudly and unmistakably mispronounced this word, so the moment went unnoticed for about a day. But then, blessed forever by the gods of trolling, Greene got lucky and a never-Trumper group called the Republican Accountability Project tweeted the video out.
