‘Save your fake prayers’: Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed for response to Georgia mass shooting

Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has been slammed after responding to the school shooting in her home state of Georgia with a simple call forprayers without mentioning the issue of gun violence and her longstanding opposition to gun control.

On Wednesday, two teachers and two students were killed at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia. Nine were sent to hospital while dozens more were wounded.

The suspect, a 14-year-old boy, has been charged with four counts of murder in the shooting. The FBI had already noticed him over a year ago when he reportedly made online threats with images of firearms.

“Let us join together in prayer for the victims of the school shooting at Apalachee High School and their families just as these students of AHS circled together in prayer today,” Greene wrote on X on Wednesday afternoon.

Her bio on the platform states that she’s “100 percent Pro-Gun.”

In March, Greene shared her rage at the new initiative at the Department of Justice aimed at keeping guns away from high-risk people.

“Merrick Garland just announced a massive Red Flag Operation that the DOJ will be running by using EVERY spy tool the US government has in order to violate American’s Second Amendment!!” she wrote at the time.

Sharing a video of herself confronting gun control activists in September 2022, Greene wrote on X: “These foolish cowards want the government to take away guns & the rights of parents to defend their children in schools.”

“You have to be an idiot to think gun control will create a utopian society where criminals disarm themselves and obey the law,” she added. “‘Gun-free’ zones kill people.”

In 2019, Greene filmed herself following Parkland school shooting survivor and anti-gun violence
