(Washington) An elected Republican customary for controversy, Marjorie Taylor Greene, found herself derided on the internet on Wednesday for having used the word “gazpacho” in place of “Gestapo” in order to denounce the so-called police method by Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.
Posted yesterday at 7:29 p.m.
In a diatribe delivered Tuesday evening on the very conservative channel One America News, the elected representative of the State of Georgia likened the prison where the attackers of the Capitol of January 6, 2021 are being held to a “gulag” and denounced “the police gazpacho of Nancy Pelosi, who spies on members of Congress”.
This confusion between the political police of the Third Reich and the famous Spanish vegetable soup served frozen has delighted many Internet users and personalities.
Among the latter, the Spanish chef José Andrés, known for having popularized tapas in the United States, offered the Republican representative to come and taste a glass of gazpacho in one of his restaurants in Washington.
Marjorie Taylor Greene is familiar with conspiracy theories and has already been sanctioned, notably by Congress and by Twitter, for controversial remarks. She was particularly shocked by comparing the vaccine passport against COVID-19 to the yellow star imposed on Jews.
This time, the elected Trumpist, however, took things with humor, in a tone of self-mockery: “No soup for those who illegally spy on members of Congress, but they will be thrown into the goulash,” she said. tweeted, making a play on words between “gulag” and “goulash”, a Hungarian soup very common in central Europe.
