Critics criticize Marjorie Taylor Greene’s rhetoric after Trump’s assassination
Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was condemned on Sunday for her divisive rhetoric following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden urged people to “lower the temperature in our politics” following the shooting at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed that sentiment, saying, “We have to turn down the rhetoric. We have to lower the temperature in this country.”
Greene, on the other hand, vowed in a series of inflammatory posts on X (formerly Twitter) that he would “fight for this country” and called people on the left “sick and evil.”
“We are in a battle between GOOD and EVIL,” she wrote under an interview with Real America’s Voice in which she called the Democratic Party a “party of violence” and “plain evil.”
We are in a battle between GOOD and EVIL
The Democrats are the party of pedophiles, the murder of innocent unborn children, violence and bloody, senseless, endless wars.

“The Democrats are the party of pedophiles, murder of innocent unborn children, violence and bloody, senseless, endless wars,” she added in the above-referenced post on X. “They want to lock up their political opponents and terrorize innocent Americans who would tell the truth about it. The Democratic Party is simply evil, and yesterday they attempted to assassinate President Trump.”
Critics condemned Greene’s comments as “reprehensible” and accused her of “fanning the flames of hatred again.”
You are a disgrace to the United States Congress.
This is so pathetic.
Resign.

Your rhetoric is DAMN. Sit down.

I am so fucking sick of you and your hate!!
Please explain to us again why Trump needed presidential immunity to go after his political opponents? If you want to go down that road, I can continue to give you examples of the rhetoric you alone have spewed that has led to hatred.

They are directly responsible for the polarization of American politics
Their rhetoric of hate and division promotes violence
You create an “us versus them” atmosphere and claim that anyone who disagrees with you is the enemy.
You are the problem. You should be removed from office.— Clifford K 🇪🇺 (@holte) July 14, 2024
And there you have it: This madman posts hate and once again stokes the flames of hate. Without a hint of irony or intelligence.

We want you convicted in Congress. We are tired of your fear-mongering and violent rhetoric.
