Conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) claimed this weeks mass shooting at a parade in Illinois could have been a secret operation carried out by gun control advocates.
Two shootings on July 4th, one in a rich, white neighborhood and the other at a fireworks display, she said in a clip posted on Twitter by Patriot Takes, which monitors right-wing media.
Greene was referring to the parade shooting in Highland Park, which left seven people dead, and likely an incident in Philadelphia that left two police officers wounded.
It almost sounds like its designed to persuade Republicans to go along with more gun control, she said. I mean, after all, remember, we didnt see that happen at all the Pride parades in the month of June.

(964 posts)Perhaps it could be that some NRA advocates and gun-humpers carried off this massacre and others, so that they could claim their whack-a-doodle theories.

(51,574 posts)The idiot who did this shooting was a MAGA Republican from a Republican pro-gun family. Ask his dad, who ran for mayor of Highland Park in 2019 and was defeated by a pro-gun control Democrat. https://www.newsweek.com/robert-crimo-father-lost-highland-park-mayor-race-gun-control-democrat-1721775
She is pushing a blatantly false conspiracy theory, that is right up there with accusing Sandy Hook kids of being "crisis actors."

(50,560 posts)...but is it just slightly possible that there WAS going to be a mass shooting incident at the Pride event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, but the police arrested the nazis and put them in jail before they could accomplish it?
