Parkland victim’s mother urged Rep. Greene to stop saying shootings were faked
The mother of a teacher at the Parkland, Fla., high school killed during a 2018 mass shooting said she spoke to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) over the weekend and urged her to stop calling it a fake shooting.
Linda Beigel Schulman, whose son Scott was among the 17 people killed in the shooting, said she spoke with Greene on Saturday over Zoom and that the controversial lawmaker declined to say she would stop calling it a false flag operation put on to inspire stricter gun control measures.
“When we started our conversation, I was totally upfront and told Congresswoman Greene that I was going to be on MSNBC today,” Schulman said during an appearance on the network. “Parameters were set, and the only topic discussed would be the school shootings at Parkland and Sandy Hook and that the conversation would be totally confidential. Our talk went very well.”
Schulman said Greene told her she could speak publicly about their discussion, but declined to go on television and retract statements about Parkland herself.
“My first question to Congresswoman Greene was do you really believe that Parkland and Sandy Hook were false flags and staged?” Schulman said. “That was a real important question to me. To this moment, I cannot fathom that somebody could say something like that. Her answer was unequivocally no, I do not.”
