U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the far-right Republican firebrand from Georgia who has made no secret of her anti-LGBTQ+ worldviews, is continuing to tweet baseless attacks on the community and making preposterous arguments against gun regulations.As she did in June, she started the month of July with a wild assertion.
This time it was a claim that mental health medications were behind Monday's mass shooting in Highland Park, Ill.In relation to the shooting that left seven people dead and more than three dozen injured, she tweeted the image of a 21-year-old man who was arrested and charged with the crime.
While the photo was clearly manipulated, Greene asserted it was proof of mental illness in the shooter."The public should not allow this to continue," she tweeted. "People are not stupid.
Is he in jail or rehab or a psychiatric center in this photo? That's not his bedroom. 22 yrs old and 5'11 and 120 lbs is not normal or healthy.
