Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's Rainbow Flag Rant Gets Flipped Back On Her

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) got into a flap over the rainbow flag and was fast mocked on Twitter.

Greene took offense to the LGBTQ flag outside the Gaylord Texas Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, during her talk there at a conference hosted by the right-wing college group Turning Point USA.

It was flying next to the Stars and Stripes and the Texas state flag, she said.

“Shame on them. Shame on them. Shame on them for hanging that flag out there. Shame on them,” ranted Greene, who has a history of homophobic rants. “Because it shouldn’t be about what people do sexually that causes us to hang a flag somewhere.”

“The only flags that should ever be hung are our United States flag and a state flag, so shame on the Gaylord,” Greene continued. She told the audience: “I’m surprised one of ya’ll hasn’t shimmied up that flag poll yet and taken it down.”
