Democratic lawmakers call for removal of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene over incendiary rhetoric

Lawmakers and activists are calling to remove freshman GOP Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Education Committee and from Congress.

Videos and social media activity from 2018 and 2019 recently resurfaced that show Greene harassing a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, falsely suggesting that several deadly school and mass shootings were staged, indicating support for executing prominent Democrats, and expressing approval of far-right conspiracy theories.

„It’s absolutely appalling and I think that the focus has to be on the Republican leadership of this House of Representatives for the disregard they have for the deaths of those children,“ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at a weekly news conference Thursday.
