"Hey, friends. I've got a question for you. How do you get avid gun owners and people that support the Second Amendment to give up their guns and go along with anti-gun legislation?" Greene said in, apparently filmed in a car. "Are they trying to terrorize our mindset and change our minds on the Second Amendment?"

In a Facebook post a few months later, Greene accused the FBI of lying to the American public about the shooting, the Atlanta Journal ConstitutionGreene has since somewhat distanced herself from that particular conspiracy theory, telling AJC in a statement that she was "satisfied with the results of the investigation, and that they did not show a second shooter, accomplice, or even a motive.

This girl showed up in a Trump mask before. Let that sink in. Wearing another mans name on your face. She is a mentally weak human who has lost her own ability to think freely and is now spiraling out of control at the depths of a dangerous cult. Doesn’t deserve a platform.

Why isn't she being forced out like Katie Hill or Al Franken were? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY TRYING TO SAY THAT SEX IS WORSE THAN SEDITION? GOPComplicitTraitors GOPHypocrisy SeditionHasConsequences

No one finds it odd that this only now coming out after her impeachment of Joe Biden stunts? Her stupid remarks from 4 years ago are being used to discredit her when she had little credit to begin with. They are wrapping up Trumps lose ends... nothing more.

Imagine if she was Muslim and did all this. What could have happened differently?

lol 'conspiracy theories' smh

Good. No one in a position of leadership should act like that.
