Marjorie Taylor Greene Lashes Out After Report Unearthing Her Comments That Parkland, Sandy Hook and 9/11 Were Staged

By Joe DePaolo Jan 22nd, 2021, 9:21 am

Newly-minted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a believer of the QAnon conspiracy theory, is lashing out following reporting on her past comments in which she expressed her belief that the Parkland and Sandy Hook shootings were staged — as was 9/11.

The progressive watchdog site Media Matters for America uncovered old Facebook posts from Greene touting her belief that 9/11 was an inside job, and that the Sandy Hook and Parkland shootings were false flags.

In a Thursday tweet, the Georgia representative lashed out at Media Matters.




Apart from the blanket claim of fake news, Greene did not issue a specific rebuttal to Media Matters’ reporting. The progressive site found a 2018 post in which Greene expressed agreement with someone who said 9/11 “was done by our own gov[ernment]” and “none of the school shootings were real or done by the ones who were supposedly arrested for them.”

“That is all true,” Greene wrote, in a now-deleted post.

I laughed at Groucho Marx when he said "who are you going to believe, me, or your lying eyes." I mean he was a comedian. These Trumpers are serious.

She might want to bone up on what Communism is.....Autocratic control over the people.

Now Democratic Socialism is different Marjorie. It is how Nations in Scandinavia have operated for years. People are free to vote it out but why would they? No worries about going bankrupt if you have serious medical issues or whatever.

They have freedom.

Read a book, come back to earth and quit exposing your ignorance

The White Male power structure wants to promote the 'crazy woman, go back to the kitchen and have babies' stereotype.

She fits right in.
