Parkland families call for Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation after posts surface showing she agreed shooting was a 'false flag'
(CNN)Students who survived the Parkland, Florida, school shooting and families of the victims are calling for Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation, after comments surfaced that showed her agreeing with people who said the 2018 shooting was a "false flag" operation.
Seventeen people, including 14 students, were killed in the shooting, which ignited a nationwide movement for stricter gun control laws spearheaded by March For Our Lives, a group started by survivors of the shooting.
"The shooting at our school was real. Real kids died and our community is still grieving today," the Parkland chapter of the organization wrote in a tweet directed at Greene. "You should be ashamed of yourself and resign from congress. Conspiracy theorists don't deserve a seat in the people's house."

According to screenshots captured by MMFA, Greene agreed with commenters who said the shooting was a "false flag" operation, a conspiracy theory that the shooting was set up or designed to look like it was carried out by another individual or group. (Similar lies have been perpetuated about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012, prompting the harassment of the victims' families.)
