WASHINGTON – Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is no stranger to controversy.
The freshman congresswoman from Georgia came into office as a contentious figure and, in an unprecedented step, was soon removed from her committee assignments by a House vote over a stream of inflammatory and menacing social media posts she made before she was elected.
Greene has stirred controversy on Capitol Hill over her tolerance of conspiracy theories, including questioning whether the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened, stalking and taunting a teen survivor of the deadly Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Florida, and suggesting that space lasers were causing deadly wildfires in California.

The Washington Post, “aggressively confronted” by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) outside the House chamber.
After shouting “Hey, Alexandria!” twice to get Ocasio-Cortez s attention, Greene reportedly continued.
“You don’t care about the American people,” Greene shouted, the
Post originally reported. “Why do you support terrorists and Antifa?”
The
Post added: “When Ocasio-Cortez did not stop walking, Greene picked up her pace and began shouting at her and asking why she supports antifa, a loosely knit group of far-left activists, and Black Lives Matter, falsely labeling them ‘terrorist’ groups. Greene also shouted that Ocasio-Cortez was failing to defend her ‘radical socialist’ beliefs by declining to publicly debate the freshman from Georgia.”
