Marjorie Taylor Greene indicated support for executing prominent Democrats in 2018 and 2019 before running for Congress

(CNN) -- Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene repeatedly indicated support for executing prominent Democratic politicians in 2018 and 2019 before being elected to Congress, a CNN KFile review of hundreds of posts and comments from Greene's Facebook page shows.
Greene, who represents Georgia's 14th Congressional District, frequently posted far-right extremist and debunked conspiracy theories on her page, including the baseless QAnon conspiracy which casts former President Donald Trump in an imagined battle against a sinister cabal of Democrats and celebrities who abuse children.
In one post, from January 2019, Greene liked a comment that said "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In other posts, Greene liked comments about executing FBI agents who, in her eyes, were part of the "deep state" working against Trump. ... In one Facebook post from April 2018, Greene wrote conspiratorially about the Iran Deal, one of former President Barack Obama's signature foreign policy achievements. A commenter asked Greene, "Now do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O ???," referring to Obama and Hillary Clinton. ... Greene replied, "Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off."
After CNN reached out to Greene, her personal Twitter account posted a statement in which she did not deny that she liked posts and replied to comments but claimed that many people have run her Facebook page. ... "Over the years, I've had teams of people manage my pages. Many posts have been liked. Many posts have been shared. Some did not represent my views. Especially the ones that CNN is about to spread across the internet," she wrote.

The question is what will they do when they find stuff?

Jake, please don't distract the House Republican leadership. They're busy giving out committee assignments. I believe Rep. Greene got hers to the House Education and Labor Committee today.

(6,183 posts)If she didn't agree with it, she should have repudiated those "like's" and fired the people who put it out in her name.
But then, we all know she did the "likes" herself.
That's who she is.

(108,036 posts)Everytown for Gun Safety is again pushing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) to resign following reports that she expressed support for violence against Democrats before running for Congress.
The gun control advocacy group, along with its grassroots networks Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action, cited Facebook exchanges from 2018 and 2019 that were reported by CNN's KFile on Tuesday.
The investigation found a post from January 2019 in which Greene liked a comment saying that "a bullet to the head would be quicker" to remove House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
"Unhinged conspiracy theorists and gun extremists like Rep. Greene have no place in the People's House," said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action. "She's putting lives in danger and will continue to do so for as long as she's in office."

Of course Greene's more likely to double down on her stupidity.

(9,155 posts)The term for extrajudicial political killings is "assassination", so she indicated support for assassinating prominent Democrats.
Why the Secret Service didn't pay her a visit at the time, is a good question.
