MTG, Who Harassed School Shooting Survivor, Is Livid Someone Yelled at Her

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the right-wing conspiracy theorist known for harassing her political opponents, is now preaching tolerance after claiming she was “attacked” by an “insane woman” at a restaurant on Monday night.

“I was attacked in a restaurant tonight by an insane women and screamed at by her adult son. They had no respect for the restaurant or the staff or the other people dining or people like me who simply have different political views,” she tweeted. “They are self righteous, insane, and completely out of control. I was sitting at my table, working with my staff, and never even noticed these people until they turned into demons. People used to respect others even if they had different views. But not anymore. Our country is gone.”

Greene doesn’t have a great track record of “respecting others even if they have different views.”

She indicated she supported assassinating prominent Democrats like Nancy Pelosi in social media posts in 2018 and 2019, before she joined Congress. She also followed and harassed Parkland High School shooting survivor David Hogg near the Capitol, peppering him with conspiracy theories and calling him a “coward” for not engaging with her.
