Critics Slam Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Rhetoric After Trump Assassination Attempt

Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) drew condemnation on Sunday for her divisive rhetoric following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

President Joe Biden has called on people to “lower the temperature in our politics” following Saturday’s shooting at a Trump campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) echoed the sentiment: “We’ve got to turn the rhetoric down. We’ve got to turn the temperature down in this country.”

Greene, though, in a series of incendiary posts on X, formerly Twitter, vowed to “fight for this country” and slammed people on the left as “sick and evil.”

“We are in a battle between GOOD and EVIL,” she captioned an interview she gave to Real America’s Voice in which she called the Democratic Party the “party of violence” and “flat-out evil.”

“The Democrats are the party of pedophiles, murdering the innocent unborn, violence, and bloody, meaningless, endless wars,” she added in that post, above, on X. “They want to lock up their political opponents, and terrorize innocent Americans who would tell the truth about it. The Democrat party is flat out evil, and yesterday they tried to murder President Trump.”

Critics condemned Greene’s comments as “reprehensible” and accused her of “stoking the flames of hate once again.”
