Given that I have spent a good bit of emotional capital — not to mention filled a fair amount of cyberspace with commentary on this congresswoman — fairness dictates that I offer a good word when she seeks to atone for her loud and brash mouth.<\/p>\n

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the QAnon queen of the House, popped off not long ago comparing mask-wearing mandates to what Jews suffered during the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

Rep. Greene toured the Holocaust Museum in Washington and then this week issued what looks to me to be a sincere apology for what she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m truly sorry for offending people with remarks about the Holocaust,\u201d Taylor Greene told reporters outside the Capitol on Monday. \u201cThere\u2019s no comparison and there never ever will be.\u201c<\/p>\n

To be clear, this apology did not contain that non-apologetic cliche “If I offended anyone … “<\/em> This sounds to me like the real deal.<\/p>\n

This is a good thing from this otherwise reckless ultra-right winger who’s been known to say some patently outrageous things.<\/p>\n

Will this signal a new turn for the Georgia congresswoman? Has she found some form of religion that will enable her to retain a semblance of decorum and dignity in her public pronouncements? Time will tell if it lasts.<\/p>\n

I just feel the need to express my own appreciation that on this matter, she had the good sense to own her mistake and seek to atone for it.<\/p>\n\n
