I wonder if Marjorie Taylor Greene has ever heard of the tale of the scorpion and the frog? In summary, a scorpion wants to cross a river but can’t swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across on its back. The frog hesitates, fearing the scorpion will sting him.
The scorpion points out that wouldn’t make sense, as the frog’s death would mean he’d drown in the river. Convinced by this logic, the frog agrees. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog. As they both begin to sink, the dying frog asks why. The scorpion replies, “I couldn’t help it. It’s in my nature.”
