Marjorie Taylor Greene refers to Asians as 'yellow people' as she brags about diversity at event

[RandySF]

According to Newsweek, at a gathering for the right-wing youth group Turning Point USA, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) offered an eyebrow-raising defense of the Republican Party on racial issues — using a racially-loaded term to explain why the party is inclusive.

Specifically, she suggested that the GOP couldn't be a "white supremacist" party — because there are "yellow people" voting for them.

"The Georgia Republican mentioned the term — which was historically used as a racist slur against Asian people — in her Sunday opening remarks on the second day of 'AmericaFest', a conference organized by conservative group Turning Point USA," reported Danya Hajjaji.

"'So I've never been to one of these events before,' said Greene. 'I've heard a little bit about them. I've seen a little bit of this event, this type of event before. And when I walked in yesterday, I was like, 'What kind of people come here?'' she continued. 'So I'm walking around and seeing some good people and I see white people, Black people, brown people, yellow people...'"
