John,
Marjorie Taylor Greene has no place in Congress.
From conspiracy theories about 9/11 to QAnon, whether or not Marjorie Taylor Greene has the mental capacity to serve in Congress is a legitimate question.
But there’s no question that someone who has indicated support for using an assault weapon to “clean house” on Capitol Hill, hanging President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, and “a bullet to the head” to remove Nancy Pelosi as Speaker is not fit to serve.
If you or I threatened co-workers with a bullet to the head, we would be thrown in jail. The least Congress can do is remove her from all committee assignments and then expel her from Congress.
Nothing short of complete repudiation for supporting insurrection against America and the execution of political leaders is acceptable.
Sign our petition calling on Congress to use the full force of the House to hold her accountable.
There's not a lot I can add about the things Greene has espoused. They speak for themselves. They're hateful, violent, and deranged.
Here are a few of the abhorrent things Greene has said and done:
- Mocked a Parkland Florida school shooting survivor as an "idiot" who "only talks when he is scripted" saying, "He is very trained. He's like a dog. He's completely trained" and using the hashtag #littleHitler
- Peddled anti-semitic ideas that California’s 2018 wildfires were ignited by a Jewish control space laser
- Believes that the Clintons had JFK Jr. killed
She’s advocated for conspiracy theories claiming the horrific school shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, and Parkland, Florida were hoaxes. She called both shootings and the Las Vegas massacre in 2017 “false flags,” a term used to describe a military operation designed by perpetrators to look like they were carried out by other individuals or groups.
Despite knowing all of this about her, House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy still assigned Greene to the Education and Labor, and Budget Committees. Think about that for a minute. Republican leadership actually assigned her to the Education committee of all places.
These frightening, hateful, and bigoted beliefs are enough to know she must be marginalized and kept from serving on any Congressional committee, but sadly ignorance and intolerance aren’t enough to expel her from serving in Congress completely.
Do you know what is? Supporting calls to murder political leaders and sedition against the U.S. Government.
Democratic Leadership must use the full force of the House to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from all committee assignments and then expel her from serving in Congress. Join me by signing the petition now.
Removal from committee assignments isn’t an outrageous idea. In 2019, former Congressman Steve King was removed from two committees after questioning why white supremacy was offensive. Even Republicans used to understand what accountability for hate and bigotry should look like. Hard to believe that wasn’t that long ago.
Now, Republican leadership in the House refuses to take action against Greene, so America needs Democrats to step up and repudiate Greene themselves.
Nothing short of complete repudiation is acceptable.
In solidarity,
— Molly
