Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for armed troops to be placed in schools on Parkland anniversary

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called for thousands of armed troops to be placed in schools on the anniversary of the Parkland school shooting.

The congresswoman, who was recently stripped of her committee appointments by House Democrats for controversial social media posts posted her idea for military-occupied schools on Twitter.

"@JoeBiden had 30,000 armed guards at his inauguration, he clearly believes in good guys with guns. The best way to prevent school shootings is to repeal all gun free school zones and protect our kids like he protects himself. #FixIt," she wrote.

The troop presence Ms Greene was referring to was the National Guard, which was deployed in response to the violent insurrection Donald Trump's supporters participated in two weeks before the inauguration.

"School shootings are a hoax created by crisis actors," to "Put 30,000 National Guard troops in schools to prevent school shootings."

Margie q, the anniversary was yesterday. Since you torment the survivors, you could at least get the date correct.

Oh, one more thing. Your words are totally lacking in relevance or importance. Kindly STFU.

Until 12 noon and after he was sworn in, Biden had no authority to give the military orders of any kind.

...Joe certainly knows the difference between 'good guys' and 'bad guys'...

...but you're a bad guy with bad ideas...

...your bad ideas would just bring out more bad guys and pour more fuel on the bad guys versus us flame...

...of course, after violence ensued it would offer you more opportunity for more bad ideas...

Let’s turn our public schools into military fortresses. I’m surprised she didn’t call for barbed wire fences and soldiers patrolling with dogs.

So she has to say something outrageous. That is what most of this is about, keeping her name and face in the news. Always putting on a show.
