Tracking scandals and controversies involving Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Guns
After the 2022 mass shooting in Uvalde Texas that killed 19 children, Greene said that the United States does not have a gun problem: “We don’t have a gun problem in America. We have a sin problem. And no gun control passed & signed into law and enforced will stop these things from happening, because they’re already illegal.”
Greene said that the way to protect children in schools from mass shooters is to repeal gun free school zones.
Capitol Attack
Greene claimed the January 6 2021 attack on the US Capitol spontaneously happened without any pre-planning, noting, “nothing was planned — it just simply happened.”
Milo Yiannopoulos
Greene hired right-wing activist Milo Yiannopoulos as an intern in her office. Yiannopoulos previously argued in favor of pedophilia.
