Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) should “be on a watch list” after the emergence of Greene’s controversial Facebook activity, which includes Greene seemingly indicating support for violence against prominent Democrats including Clinton.
“This woman should be on a watch list. Not in Congress,” Clinton tweeted, linking to Washington Post coverage of Greene’s social media activity. The lawmaker liked comments in 2018 and 2019 suggesting that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should get “a bullet to the head” and calling for the hanging of Clinton and former President Obama.
“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,” Greene commented in response to the latter comment. The congresswoman has claimed the comments were liked by people she hired to manage her social media pages.
Greene has expressed support for the baseless far-right QAnon conspiracy theory, which involves the eventual mass execution of prominent Democrats and liberal public figures.
On Wednesday, video also emerged of Greene following David Hogg, who became a gun safety activist after surviving the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, and calling him a “coward.” Hogg responded to Clinton’s tweet, saying “agreed” and linking to the video.
Gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety has called for Greene to resign over her social media activity.
“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, said Tuesday. “She’s putting lives in danger and will continue to do so for as long as she’s in office.”
