Controversial Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was blasted over the idea she unleashed on Presidents' Day to call for red states to "divorce" blue states. "Everyone I talk to says this," she insisted. Liz Cheney took Marge to school on Twitter over her outlandish proposal.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk interviewed Marge, and she doubled down on her idea for, well, basically, secession.

First, Charles claimed that Democrats are invading red states, and asked, "How do we stop them?"

"Red states can choose in how they allow people to vote in their state," she said. (So can any state)

"If Democrat voters choose to flee these Blue states where they cannot tolerate the living conditions...Well, once they move to a Red state, guess what?" she asked. "Maybe you don't get to vote for five years. You can live there. You can work there."

Then she explained that she "is a big believer in freedom" after she sucked all of the freedom out of the room. So, after Ms. Freedom Believer takes away someone's right to vote for five years, do they have to pay taxes during that time? How would all of this even work? Speaking of work, doesn't she have a job that we pay her to do?
