Shortly after a 14-year-old mass shooter killed two teachers and two children and injured nine more victims at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) issued a statement saying that people should be praying for the victims and their families. The father of a child killed in a school shooting criticized her reaction. Greene is well-known for her love of guns, history of harassing school shooting survivors, and accusations that school shootings are fake. Yesterday, Greene wrote on X, 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. Numerous Republican politicians expressed similar messages calling for prayer. Related Marjorie Taylor Greene accused a DNC speaker of pedophilia. It didnt go well for her. Numerous commenters pointed out her hypocrisy and her love of sexually explicit material.

Then, referencing Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R), Oliver added, You have a governor in that place that is asking us to pray, to join his family and pray. That is not enough, and that is not working.Oliver then predicted that pro-gun politicians would start recommending putting metal detectors and armed teachers in schools to make them more secure. Greene describes herself as 100% Pro-Life Pro-Gun Pro-Trump in her bio on X. In a 2018 Facebook post, she claimed that the 2012Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and the 2018Stoneman Douglas shooting were both false flag operations. I am told that [then-Democratic House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi tells Hillary Clinton several times a month that we need another school shooting in order to persuade the public to want strict gun control,' Greene wrote, furthering a common right-wing conspiracy theory that has inspired harassment and death threats against the families of school shooting victims.In 2019,Greene filmed herselfharassing gun safety activist andParkland school shootingsurvivorDavid Hogg. She has called Hogg#littleHitler, an idiot who is trained like a dog, a coward, and baselessly claimed Jewish billionaire philanthropist George Soros funds him.Greene has also shot guns in several of her own campaign ads and social media posts.
