Republican party leaders will meet next week with Georgia extremist congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene because an ongoing crisis over her racist and bizarre political views continues to rage American politics.
Greene, who in the past has voiced support for the racist QAnon conspiracy movement, has been the subject of a number of media reports her social media posts that support or promote a range of fringe, violent and big ideas.
Some important outreach groups have demanded that the Republican Party condemn her and Democrats are demanding that Greene be removed from Congress or that she be removed from at least some of the important committees on which she has been given positions.
Kevin McCarthy, the leader of the Republican House, will sit down for a conversation with Greene next week, his office said. But Republican leaders have so far offered no meaningful condemnation of Greene or an indication that they would take action against her.
Greene herself has remained furiously defiant in the face of criticism, although many posts have been removed through her Facebook profile. “I will never stand back. I will never give up, “she said in a statement on Friday.
Since arriving in Congress, Greene has become a symbol of how far right the Republican Party has moved under Donald Trump and the continued influence of extremists in its ranks, especially after the January 6 attack on a Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.
Democratic Congresswoman Cori Bush said Friday she was moving her office away from Greene due to safety concerns after Greene and her staff complained to her and refused to wear masks. Bush told MSNBC that she was moving her office, “not because I’m scared” of Greene, “because I’m here to do a job for the people of St. Louis.”
“What I can not do is continue to look over my shoulder and wonder if a white supremacist in Congress named Marjorie Taylor Greene … conspired against us,” she said.
The calls for action against Greene became louder as more and more reports of her extreme views emerged. In earlier social media reports exposed by CNN, Greene indicated that they were executing Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In a 2018 Facebook report reported by MediaMatters, his conspiracy theories reflected that the wildfires that plagued California that year were caused by a laser from space caused by a group of Democratic politicians and companies for financial gain.
In a 2019 confrontation with the survivors of the Parkland massacre documented on tape, it appears that she captivated the students and later the conspiracy claims that the survivors of the massacre and relatives of victims are ‘crisis actors’ and that the attacks which killed their loved ones was staged. as a conspiracy to pass arms control laws.
Some of her views include anti-Semitic tropes, and this has led some Republican Jewish groups to speak out against her.
The Republican Jewish Coalition said Friday it was working with co-leaders on “next steps” and noted that he was opposed to the 2020 election of Greene because “she repeatedly used offensive language in long online diatribuses” and “bizarre political conspiracy theories promote’.
Meanwhile, the conference of presidents of major Jewish organizations, which includes large conservative Jewish groups such as AIPAC and American Friends of Likud among the 53 Jewish groups he represents, has issued a strongly worded condemnation and call for action.
The group said Greene was “spreading unfounded hatred against the Jewish people” and called for a “quick and appropriate” response from political leaders.
Elsewhere, the Human Rights campaign called on McCarthy to remove Greene from her committee.
“There must be consequences for her actions. “The Human Rights Campaign calls on the House’s minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, to hold her accountable and at least remove Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from all her assigned Congressional Committees,” said HRC President Alphonso David. said.
