Former CIA director condemns Marjorie Taylor Greene: “Not fit to hold public office”

Former CIA director John Brennan criticized Marjorie Taylor Greene’s very public defense of the 21-year-old who allegedly leaked classified Pentagon documents.

Greene’s tweet was just the tip of the iceberg

Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the man known as Jake Teixeira by saying he was “white, male, Christian, and antiwar. That makes him an enemy to the Biden regime.” She continued, “He told the truth about troops being on the ground in Ukraine and a lot more.”

She further attacked the president

In her tweet, Green pondered, “Ask yourself who the real enemy is. A young, low-level national guardsman? Or the administration waging war in Ukraine, a non-NATO nation, against nuclear Russia without war powers?” She also alleged that the man was “treated like a traitor and criminal.”

Former Wyoming’s at-large congressional district representative, and fellow Republican, Liz Cheney, said that Greene should not hold a security clearance after defending the Air National Guardsman suspected of leaking classified documents. Cheney tweeted, “Marjorie Taylor Greene makes clear yet again that she cannot be trusted with America’s national security information and should not have a security clearance of any kind.”

Nicolle Wallace asked the former director of the CIA if he agreed with Cheney’s comments. Brennan shared his opinion, “From my perspective, I think Marjorie Taylor Greene has demonstrated time and time again that she’s not fit to hold public office with some of her commentary that she has made, even previously.”

Brennan further disapproved of Greene

Further, the former CIA director shared, “I believe she should not be involved in any type of sensitive, classified information. And she does have some clearances because of her role within the Congress and position on the committee.” His lack of trust, like with Cheney, only further proved that Greene could not be trusted.

He is not against having a difference of opinion

Brennan explained that one could be against the US involvement in helping Ukraine. He said, “You could have this bizarre policy view that we shouldn’t be helping Ukraine, and if you do have that, you can still decry and condemn the unauthorized disclosure of our classified information that has (damaged) … our interests abroad.”

Many online users also shared their lack of trust in the Georgia representative

Brennan, who led the CIA under former President Barack Obama, echoed statements made on social networks. One person responded to Greene’s tweet: “Her public agenda is reinstalling a criminal traitor she’s obstructing justice for and breaking up the United States of America.”

People clarified why they disagreed with Greene

Someone wrote, “What’s not okay is leaking highly sensitive documents.” The third explained why Greeene’s logic was flawed, “He didn’t leak them because he thought it was best for the country, he didn’t come forward as a whistleblower, three was nothing being covered up in what he exposed. He wanted to impress other racists. Lock him up!”
