Revealing herself to be the flakiest of GOP snowflakes, Greene lashed out against late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel in response to a joke that she regarded as a threat. So she did what any red-blooded American goofball would do. She reported him to the police. For the record, this is joke that triggered <em>&#8220;Empty&#8221;<\/em> Greene:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This woman, &#8216;Klan Mom,&#8217; is especially upset with three Republican senators who said they&#8217;ll vote &#8216;yes&#8217; on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is nominated for the Supreme Court. she tweeted &#8216;Murkowski, Collins, and Romney are pro-pedophile. They just voted for #KBJ.&#8217; Wow. Where is Will Smith when you really need him?&#8221;&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Greene was so <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52496\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">perturbed by the nomination of an eminently qualified Black woman<\/a><\/strong> to the Supreme Court that she was compelled to viciously malign her Republican colleagues in the Senate. Here is Greene&#8217;s announcement of the police filing, and Kimmel&#8217;s succinct reply:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Officer?

She previously compared the House rule requiring members to wear masks during the height of the pandemic to the Holocaust. Because protecting people from a deadly virus is exactly the same as murdering millions of innocent people by gas.<\/p>\n<p>There is a stark irony about Greene reporting Kimmel to the Capitol Police. Her prior history with that law enforcement agency is fraught with hypocrisy and animus. She notoriously <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51545\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">supported the deadly riots took place in Washington, D.C. on January 6th<\/a><\/strong>, where more than 140 officers were injured, and five subsequently died. And she was among 21 Republicans who <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/06\/15\/politics\/congressional-gold-medal-house-vote\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">voted against honoring the Capitol Police<\/a><\/strong> with Congressional Gold Medals because she objected to referring to the insurrection as an insurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Now Greene wants the Capitol Police to protect her from the ravages of rampaging humor. And yet, somehow, she thinks that people should still take her seriously. Yeah, that&#8217;ll happen. Maybe after Kimmel slaps her &#8211; with a lawsuit for filing a false police report.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Kimmel replied to Greene&#8217;s probably phony police report in his Thursday night monologue.
