Here is Apple's AI response (with references left out) :
No, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has not issued a specific, direct apology to David Hogg for the harassment incident.
In February 2021, amidst a House vote to strip her of committee assignments, Greene made a general statement in a closed-door meeting and on the House floor where she expressed regret for "words of the past" and engaging in "toxic politics". She clarified that she no longer believed the Parkland shooting was a "false flag" operation and said she knew the fear David Hogg experienced.
However, when specifically asked by reporters if she was sorry for following and hounding Hogg in a March 2019 video, she defended her actions. Greene stated that Hogg was an adult at the time and that she was not sorry for telling him he should not push for gun control.
David Hogg dismissed her general statements as insincere, noting they only came when her committee assignments were threatened. He stated that he did not need her apology, but that she owed one to the families of all mass shooting victims. Other activists and victims' families continue to call for a public and sincere apology for the specific harassment.
