Tea’s Weird Week: Who Said It–Phantom Patriot or Marjorie Taylor Greene (Revisited)?

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was busted flying an American flag upside down (a form of protest to indicate dissent or that the country is in distress) outside his home as well as the “Appeal to Heaven” flag flown by J6ers outside his vacation home.

Don’t worry, Alito. Marjorie Taylor Greene has your back. Fresh off her conspiracy that the FBI was going to assassinate Trump, Greene rambled on X (aka Musk Twitter) about Trump and Alito.
“WE SHOULD ALL BE FLYING THE FLAG UPSIDE DOWN!!!” she concludes.

Hmm, that reminds me of someone. I can’t quite place it. I seem to remember he had a skull for a face. Raided the Bohemian Grove, charged with five felonies. Conspiracy theory ended up taking his life. Oh right, it’s this guy…Richard McCaslin, aka the Phantom Patriot.

About two years ago, I wrote a TWW column titled “Who Said It– Phantom Patriot or Marjorie Taylor Greene?” The quotes I provided were identical in ideology. The only difference– Richard was considered a “crackpot” and “domestic terrorist” while Greene for some reason is a member of Congress.
