GOP Tested Anew By Georgia Congresswoman’s Facebook Activity

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., supported Facebook posts that advocated violence against leading Democrats and the FBI before she joined Congress. While some Republicans condemned the activity on Wednesday, it was hardly a surprise. Facebook posts surfaced last year showing she’d expressed racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim views.

Republicans have a Marjorie Taylor Greene problem. Again.

Before she joined the House this month, Greene supported Facebook posts that advocated violence against Democrats and the FBI. One suggested shooting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the head. In response to a post raising the prospect of hanging former President Barack Obama, Greene responded that the “stage is being set.”
