Marjorie Green Goes After David from Parkland School Shooting
.@mtgreenee, is this you harassing @davidhogg111 weeks after the Parkland shooting, that my daughter was killed in & he was in? Calling him a coward for ignoring your insanity. I will answer all of your questions in person. Get ready to record again.
But this video is just one of numerous accounts about Greene's dangerous harassment tacticsthat have popped up in the past week alone. A recent CNN review of Greene’s Facebook pagerevealed posts and comments from 2018 and 2019 in which she encouraged violence against Democrats. During that same period, before she was elected to
Congress, Media Matters for America discovered posts from Greene where the congresswoman appears to support a conspiracy theory that the Parkland shooting was staged. And just yesterday, CNN revealed more comments from Greene where she called David Hogg “#littleHitler” and spread a conspiracy that he was a “bought and paid little pawn.”
These are not the only dangerous and disproven conspiracies Greene has spread in recent years: She publicly supports QAnon, claimed that there’s no evidence of a plane crashing into the Pentagon on 9/11, and has frequently pushed deeply antisemitic and anti-Muslim rhetoric, reports The Independent.
Hogg responded to the 2018 video on Twitter and denied receiving funding from Soros for his work as an advocate against gun violence. “Everyday we are forced to act and fight through all our trauma to fight for those that can’t because they were killed due to people like you refusing to do your job and protect kids not guns,” he tweeted.
Prior to this video re-emerging, Hogg joined a number of other justice advocates and Democratic leaders calling for Greene's resignation. The demand to have Greene removed from office heightened after the Capitol insurrection on January 6, where Greene appeared to galvanize rioters by suggesting that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against former president Donald Trump.
Short of a voluntary resignation, the House of Representatives has been empowered by the Constitution to remove members for engaging in “disorderly conduct” so long as it is supported by a two-thirds majority. Currently, there have been no formal motions to expel Greene from office.
