A comedian from Georgia is sharing his thoughts on the Congresswoman who represents his district — Marjorie Taylor Greene — and he’s not holding back.

Greene has attracted endless controversy since before she was even elected to the House of Representatives during November’s election, but that controversy has ramped up over the past few weeks.

Numerous videos and social media posts have resurfaced showing that Greene isn’t just “the QAnon Congresswoman” as she became known. She also believes the Parkland and Sandy Hook shootings were staged events, has harassed at least one survivor of the former, thinks California wildfires were purposely caused by Jews using a laser beam from space, and has supported calls for Democrat politicians to be executed.
Greene was elected, in part, due to her Democratic opponent dropping out suddenly not long before the election, prompting questions as to just how representative she is of Georgia’s 14th congressional district.
Despite it being a heavily Republican district, comedian Corey Ryan Forrester wants the world to know that Greene’s views don’t represent all of them. But more than that, he’s begging other white people in Walker County to step forward and use their privilege to denounce her and everything she stands for.
“We’re not all like that,” he said. “And I don’t want to sound like a ‘not all white people’ thing, because we definitely need to take accountability. We definitely have earned a lot of it. But I’m so f—king sick and tired of having to constantly defend my accent. And I’m not asking everyone out there to stop thinking of my people [in] a certain way — I’m talking to my people right now. Vote this f—king b—ch out!”

Forrester went on to call it “embarrassing” that people would leave comments on his videos calling him “one of the good ones.”
“QAnon has become synonymous with Walker County, Georgia, and I’m f—king tired of it,” he said. “I’ve grown up here my whole life, and I was led to believe there are decent people, and I still believe that. But until I start seeing a majority scream at this lady, and talk about how she doesn’t represent us, I don’t believe it.”
“I know I’m not the only one,” he added.
Forrester implored other people in his county who feel the same way as he does about Greene to forget about worrying that they may upset people in their life by speaking out against her.

“Now is time to use that f—king white privilege, baby! We’ve got it in spades!” he proclaimed. “I’ll say whatever the f—k I want! F—k her, f—k QAnon, f—k the radical right, f—k all them. I’m in a goddamn blue state now, and it’s time we started f—king acting like it!”
Other people in Georgia and other areas with questionable representation responded viscerally to Forrester’s video, sharing their own internal struggles with speaking out against these loons vs keeping quiet and “keeping the peace.”

I have family in Walker and Gordon, all female. They love Corey’s message and passion but they don’t feel safe either. I’m not sure what the solution is.

Greene will be up for reelection in 2022, but in the meantime, calls for her resignation and removal over her inappropriate comments and part in pushing the election fraud conspiracy theories that led to the Capitol riots on January 6th continue.
