Marjorie Taylor Greene Ripped For 'Encouraging' Violence In 'Outrageous' Pic

Marjorie Taylor Greene Ripped For 'Encouraging' Violence In 'Outrageous' Pic (HuffPost)

The conspiracy theorist lawmaker shared an image of herself outside the U.S. Capitol with a high-powered weapon.

A former U.S. Capitol Police sergeant tore into Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for posting a new image of herself arriving at the complex with a military-style gun.

“Finding this outrageous and dangerous is an understatement,” wrote former Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, who left the police force after injuries and trauma sustained during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. He called out Greene’s “delusional obsession with political violence.”

veterans in Congress.

You don't see them slinging military weapons to seem . . . . relevant.

The political violence has been, is, and will be real.

We need to write a strongly-worded letter! Next week!

I can't tell any more, but if I have a suspicion that something isn't real lately, I've ended up right. I don't have a twitter account, so I can't follow the link unless I create one (which I will not) - Oh well, will be watching this story. If it is real, she should be thrown out of any type of public office. I have never ever seen anything so disgusting, disgraceful. Treasonous.
