"I only believe some of what Qanon says about Dems being satanic pedophile cannibals, okay?"

 

“Despite formidable competition, the real superstar of ridiculousness has to be Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), who was stripped of her committee roles after the House voted to punish her for advocating for, among other things, the execution of her Democratic colleagues. Among the litany of bizarre conspiracies Greene promoted, one of them had to do with the September 11 attacks. On the House floor, Greene was forced to accept reality about the events of that day.

“Who among us hasn’t had to stand up in front of our colleagues and declare that yes, the terrorist attacks absolutely happened? In 2018, Greene made a video in which she acknowledged 9/11 had happened, but she claimed a plane did not crash into the Pentagon. That’s what makes her comments so remarkable now; 9/11 truthers don’t dabble in the idea that the attacks never happened. Their belief is that the attacks were a false flag event, planned by someone on the inside designed to make the public believe it was a terrorist attack. Greene’s overdue acknowledgement that 9/11 happened doesn’t actually do anything to make her beliefs, like say mass school shootings are also a false flag event, remotely acceptable” (Mother Jones).

“Greene previously posted about other false theories on the 2018 Parkland, Florida, school shooting, the 2017 Las Vegas shooting and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. A viral video also shows Greene heckling David Hogg, a teen survivor of the Parkland shooting.

“In a Facebook post from April 2018, Greene responded to a post from a person who asked whether former President Barack Obama and former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton could be hanged, CNN reported. Greene replied by saying the ‘stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off,’ CNN reported. 

“She has also targeted Muslim members of Congress and promoted anti-Semitic rhetoric, Media Matters found. ‘I was allowed to believe things that weren't true and I would ask questions about them and talk about them. And that is absolutely what I regret. Because if it weren't for the Facebook posts and comments that I liked in 2018, I wouldn't be standing here today and you couldn't point a finger and accuse me of anything wrong,’ Greene said” (USA Today).
