Her support for QAnon and attacks against the Parkland students have no
place in Congress.Dear MoveOn member,
We'll get straight to the point. U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor
Greene (R-GA) supports the QAnon cult, has called deadly school shootings
"false flag" operations by gun reform advocacy groups,^1 and thinks Jewish
space lasers are responsible for a wildfire in California.^2 Yet somehow
Representative Greene has secured a position on the House Committee on
Education and Labor. This cannot stand.
[ [link removed] ]Sign now: Tell Republican leaders to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
from the House Committee on Education and Labor!
Hundreds of posts, likes, and comments showing Rep. Greene inciting
violence by spewing baseless conspiracy theories that have endangered the
lives of many are resurfacing all over the internet. Rep. Greene is seen
in one of these posts supporting the execution of prominent Democratic
politicians.^3 She is even seen on Capitol Hill, harassing Parkland
student and activist David Hogg and other survivors of gun violence.^4
Rep. Greene was recently assigned to the House Committee on Education and
Labor by Republican leadership. This is unacceptable. In 2019, Republicans
removed Representative Steve King of Iowa from the Judiciary and
Agriculture Committees in response to his support for white
nationalists.^5 The same must be done to Rep. Greene.
Based on this precedent, her incitement of violence, and her egregious
attacks on our democracy, Republican House leaders can and must remove
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from her committee appointment.

Throughout history, we've seen white supremacy and far-right groups go
unchecked for the violence and terror they have caused. Most recently,
Donald Trump was enabled and supported by Republicans for four years as he
attacked our democracy over and over.
It's long overdue for the GOP to grow a spine. Rep. Marjorie Taylor
Greene's support for QAnon and her attacks against survivors of gun
violence have no place in Congress. Her dangerous ideas have no place in
Congress.
