Marjorie Taylor Greene
The president called the congresswoman “Marjorie Traitor Greene” and said, “I don’t think anybody cares about her.”
A police officer heading to the congresswoman’s home following a bomb threat “for Palestine” was involved in a car crash that killed an innocent woman, sparking a federal investigation.
Reports say Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene led the effort against hiring the far-right Loomer, who is Jewish.
“It is appalling and outrageous that a Member of Congress would share a platform with an individual who has actively spread anti-Semitic bile, mocked the Holocaust and promoted dangerous anti-Israel conspiracy theories,” the Republican Jewish Coalition said in a news release.
“Anti-Semitism is true hate,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). “And I saw that today at the Holocaust museum.”
“Let me be clear: The House Republican Conference condemns this language,” says House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy “unequivocally” condemns the controversial statements by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (D-Ga.), but he says she’s learned her lesson.
The Republican Jewish Coalition, which opposed the campaign of the now-Georgia congresswoman, said it was “offended and appalled” by her comments and actions.
Incumbent Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), and progressive Cori Bush in Missouri won their respective congressional races, as did Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia.
It features a Holocaust denier decrying that “Zionist supremacists have schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation” and “implies that Jews are at the heart of a project to destroy Europe as we know it.”
Adherents to the conspiracy theory claim that the “liberal elite,” including Democratic politicians and Jewish billionaire George Soros, are part of a secret faction to overthrow the president.
“Candidates should not promote anti-Semitic tropes or associate with white supremacists. This is not the face of Georgia,” said Dov Wilker, director of the American Jewish Committee’s Atlanta branch.
