Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said during a speech on the House floor Thursday that Congress wants to “crucify” her for actions that she has since apologized for, yet tolerates members who have “condoned riots,” which has led to violence against police officers and destruction of property.
Greene spoke before the House planned to vote on a resolution that would strip the Georgia conservative of her committee assignments.
Greene has come under fire for her past controversial and conspiratorial remarks that emerged in videos and social media posts amid her congressional bid. This included screenshots in which she believed that the Parkland school shooting was a “false flag” operation.
Greene condemned her past support for the conspiracy theories and said that they do not represent her values or district.
However, she did note that Democrats have supported “conspiracy theories,” such as the idea that Donald Trump colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 presidential election.
The Georgia conservative said she first became enthralled in politics after Trump’s election in 2016, thanks to his plain manner of speaking and his America First agenda. This includes his pro-life platform and noninterventionist policies.
She said, “Maybe we could stop sending our sons and daughters to fight in foreign wars and be used as the world’s police.”
The House floor speech also arises as House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) condemned Greene’s past comments in a statement Wednesday night.
She did state things that are not nice in many eyes. She stated on the floor that she knows things in the past happened, a la an apology…..yet others say she didnt and picked specific words from her statement saying she didnt. No plane hit the pentagon was the original statement…she said 9/11 was real. Hens on tv said she didnt apologize correctly, by not mentioning exactly what she originally said. I.e., no plane hit the pentagon.
Those casting stone better not have one damn thing against them on video cuz they will eventually be toast.
Lou Dobbs comes to mind today.
