Republican Congressman Marjorie Taylor GreenIn the US House of Representatives, controversy arose day after day over a first Republican member of the Republican Party.
Controversy is growing, including the Democratic Party’s demand for resignation after reports of inappropriate and drastic words and actions by Republican Congressman Marjorie Taylor Green, who was elected to the Georgia State House of Representatives and began his term last month.
According to the US public radio NPR, Congressman Green supports the far-right conspiracy theory group QAnon. During the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001, he took the attitude of advocating the 9/11 conspiracy theory, saying that it was not an airplane but a missile or other projectile that struck the US Department of Defense building.
We agree with the claim that the 2018 shooting of 17 people killed at a high school in Parkland, Florida, was a camouflage operation intended for gun control.
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote on social media that he should be shot and killed, or that former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should be hanged.
Muslims are said to have even made racist remarks that they should not hold office in the government.
In addition, he defended the allegations that former President Donald Trump was defeated in the 11·3 presidential election last year due to fraudulent elections, and last month initiated a prosecution for impeachment of President Joe Biden.
When Green’s past remarks and social media articles became known through the media, the Democratic Party rose up like a swarm.
Democratic Congressman Jimmy Gomes came up with a resolution calling for the expulsion of Congressman Green on the 27th of last month (local time). Also, Congressman Jake Ochinclos of the same party demanded Green’s resignation.
Rep. Cory Bush, a Democrat’s first elector who was in close proximity to Green’s office, said he was relocating the office, claiming that Green is shouting or making threatening comments without wearing a mask.
Some Democratic Party lawmakers, such as Debbie Washerman Schulz, even proposed a resolution on the 1st to withdraw Green from standing committees such as the House Education and Labor Committee and the Budget Committee.
President Trump and Congressman GreenHowever, although some of the Republicans openly criticize Congressman Green’s words and actions, foreign media say that most are silent on the matter.
The Hill, a political media outlet, reported that Republican Congressman Kevin McCarthy is scheduled to meet with Congressman Green this week, but it is unclear what the Republicans will do.
In the absence of Republican criticism, the NPR said Green is taking a more stubborn stance.
In a statement on the 29th of last month, Congressman Green wrote in a statement that the more the’radical left Democratic rioters’ and the fake news media try to let them out, the more supporters’ donations will increase.
On the 30th of last month, he spoke with former President Trump. “Blood-thirsty media and socialists hate the United States, and Democrats attack me as if they attacked President Trump. I will never back off.”
