Aaron Sorkin doesn’t want anything to do with Marjorie Taylor Greene.
We haven’t been hearing much from the Georgia Congresswoman thanks to her getting herself banned from Twitter after racking up enough policy violations for spreading COVID misinformation that the social media platform was forced to take action. But she’s still active on right-wing sites, such as GETTR and Telegram, and shared her thoughts about a private company exercising their right to deny her service over there.
“Twitter is an enemy to America and can’t handle the truth,” she wrote. “That’s fine, I’ll show America we don’t need them and it’s time to defeat our enemies.”
It’s a perfectly Republican sentiment — shirking personal responsibility for violating terms, feeling like businesses exercising their rights shouldn’t apply to her, deploying volatile language to try to paint others as the “enemy,” and alluding to violence being the answer without actually saying as much.
It’s also a rip-off of an Aaron Sorkin quote.
“You can’t handle the truth!” is, of course, a famous line uttered by Jack Nicholson in the 1992 film A Few Good Men. It’s so iconic that it’s become one of those phrases that have entered common usage even among people who don’t know where it originated.
And while Sorkin obviously has no control over who says it, when asked his thoughts about a woman representing the actual dregs of the Republican party using it in this context, he had no qualms with making his opinion known.
“Yeah, she can go to hell,” he said during an interview on The Late Late Show With James Corden. “I liked it a lot better when Burger King was using [the reference] in its billboards.”
