In a surprising turn of events, retiring Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14) has recently found unexpected allies among leftists, despite being labeled “Marjorie Traitor Green” by former President Trump and branded “Crazy Pants” by Democratic Senator John Fetterman. Among these newfound supporters are the well-known Capitol Hill protesters, Cope Pink (CP), led by the outspoken Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans.

Medea Benjamin and I share a long history, though it’s fair to say she isn’t particularly fond of me. Intriguingly, Medea’s real name is Susan, but she prefers the name Medea, after the mythical figure from Greek mythology. Medea, the wife of Jason of Argonauts fame, is known for her dark deeds, including betraying her family and going to extreme lengths for vengeance. It’s an unusual choice of namesake, one might think, for someone to emulate.

My encounters with Medea and CP date back to my time with the Senate Judiciary Committee (SJC) in 2005. Even then, they were a constant presence at our hearings, with their protests aimed squarely at then-President George W. Bush and his policies on the War on Terror, which they harshly criticized. CP was vocal in their condemnation, often comparing Bush to historical dictators and accusing the U.S. military of unjustly detaining individuals and sending them to Guantanamo Bay under grim circumstances.

Medea Benjamin is not really named “Medea.” Her real name is Susan, but she has chosen Medea instead. Which is strange – Medea was the witchy wife of Jason of the Argonauts fame, who in Greek mythology killed her brother, betrayed her father for Jason, only to later be abandoned by Jason and, to punish him, slew their own children. 

The mythical Medea is not the type of upstanding person a normal person would want to emulate, is she?

When I joined the staff of the Senate Judiciary Committee (SJC) in 2005, Medea and CP were already protesting at our hearings. Back then, everything was about President George W. Bush and the War on Terror (i.e., Islamic Extremism). CP was pushing the left-wing talking points that Bush was a “Hitler” and a “dictator” and that the “evil” U.S. forces were running around the world snagging innocent goat herders and shipping them off to Guantanamo to be tortured. 

So, almost every hearing the SJC held during 2005-2009, the CP showed up and disrupted it by shouting out various calumnies at Bush and the U.S. The subject matter of the hearing was totally immaterial. If the SJC had a hearing on copyright law, CP were there. CP headquartered themselves in the Hill cafeterias, where Medea and the other leadership held court and presumably got praise from the Democrats. 

That was 20 years ago. But CP is still there, in the cafeterias on the Hill, as I just saw when attending a House hearing on Israel. And they are still harassing, although their specific talking points have been tweaked. In this hearing, they focused on Israel’s “demonic behavior.” In most other hearings, however, the CP have updated their “Republican President Bad” talking points to focus on Donald Trump.  

Because, you know, Bush and Trump are totally the same.

If you want to know how to get under their skin – which I do because they just won’t stop bothering me – the best way is to heckle these hecklers. They specifically hate being called out for being the paid foreign-sponsored protesters they are. 

Here are some facts. It is a fact that Jodie Evans, the cofounder of Code Pink, is married to Neville Roy Singham. It is a fact that Singham lives in Shanghai, China, as a foreign “millionaire.” It is a fact that, according to The New York Times, Singham “is a vital node in a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda apparatus that spans the globe.” And it is a fact that Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has requested “an investigation into Code Pink for potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and material support to foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs). Code Pink has received funding from groups aligned with the Communist Chinese government and partnered with designated FTOs.”

So, when Medea Benjamin and her CP buddies were harassing me and others at this House hearing, I began to call them out for being paid CCP agents.  

They absolutely hate the CCP angle, btw. Which is interesting – they didn’t get so upset when I called them agents of George Soros and Qatar. Why is that? Racism?

That was actually my second time heckling the heckler known as Medea Benjamin. In 2012 (or so), I attended an AIPAC convention.  

AIPAC, for the non-Jew haters out there, is a group of primarily Jewish American voters – although non-Jewish Americans also donate and belong – who are pro-Israel. For the Jew-haters, AIPAC is an “evil foreign entity” that seeks to corrupt American politics. Despite the facts not backing up that argument. Of course, the Jew-haters have no problem with the CCP or Qatar, two very real, and two very anti-American, foreign entities, and the domestic anti-Israel Soros organs, all of whom swamp the money from Israel, AIPAC and other pro-Israel American groups – including Christians United for Israel, which is bigger than AIPAC – with their donations to government officials, the media, our universities, etc.   

Medea Benjamin and CP were at the AIPAC Convention to heckle the people lined up to go in. 

Since it was early morning, I must confess I was a little tired and ornery. So, when I saw my own nemesis, the woman who had annoyed me constantly when I was at the SJC, irritating me again, I decided to turn the tables on her. I began to follow Medea as she heckled people, and I heckled her. 

Which Medea didn’t like at all. She even got so distracted that she began to stutter. So, I made fun of her for that, too. Eventually, she lost her mojo because of my heckling and wandered off. 

As an aside, my apologies to those people who really do stutter. (Which does not include JOE BIDEN.) I understand that you face a real affliction. But for those people who stutter once while being absolute evil foreign enemy-sponsored jerks, the art of heckling the heckler demands the unrelenting heckling of that heckler.  

Those are the rules, and I must obey them. 

Anyway, it’s a shame that while on the Hill, I didn’t see this cozy meeting with Rep. Greene and CP. “Traitors” honoring the “Traitor.” If I had, I believe I would have been duty-bound to ask Medea the question that I keep forgetting to ask her: Why did you voluntarily name yourself after an evil traitor witch who slaughtered her own children?
