Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “censored” mask at the House impeachment debate caught the eyes of some in the media, including CNN’s Jake Tapper and NBC News’ Katy Tur, who are saying the mask is hyperbole:

Wearing a “censored” mask while speaking on the house floor which is being broadcast live by multiple broadcast and cable news outlets and on the web is something something else.

Tur once compared the media to firefighters running towards a story, but that wasn’t over-the-top whatsoever. *Eye roll*
it reminds me of people who used to pretend free speech was under assault from orange hitler while calling him a fascist on tv. https://t.co/OasrgT5y24

Remember the hysteria by journalists when Trump first talked back to them and they screamed of how freedom of the press was under attack and the very fabric of democracy was unraveling? ?☕ https://t.co/rUTiXvBqZw

Like the LGBT campaign a while back featuring every celebrity wearing tape over their mouths with 'NOH8' on it to fight LGBT oppression? https://t.co/rUTiXvBqZw

Maybe it’s someone just trying to represent what is being imposed on their constituents. https://t.co/DSOJE7vbNk
