MTG Constituent compares her to the woman that "Got Emmitt Till Killed."

A Georgia voter just put Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) on blast for making “reckless” comments about Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.)

The conservative darling has recently come under-fire for calling Bowman “aggressive” and claiming she felt threatened after a confrontation on the steps of the Capitol last month ― comments which many have called a racially-charged dog whistle.

A Greene constituent took her to task during a recent town hall-style event in Georgia, which ex-GOP official Ron Filipkowski shared in a Twitter video on Saturday.

Pointing out the dangerous implications of Greene’s accusations, the voter asked, “Do you know who Carolyn Donham is?”

“It’s the same thing Carolyn Donham said that got Emmett Till killed, and that was reckless, and you did a reckless thing. And if anything happens to Jamaal Bowman, it’s going to be on your hands,” she went on.

It’s not like there’s any shortage of that sort of thing. It’s a form of ‘value signaling’ to her MAGAt constituents that she upholds the practice.
