Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman for Georgia, said on stage at the conference, eliciting boos from the crowd before laughing."And one of the flags, which was just as big as the other ones—our United States flag, the Texas flag—was the rainbow flag," she said, stirring more boos from the audience."I'm standing in the Gaylord and they might kick me out and never want me to come back – shame on them," Green added to further cheers. "Shame on them for hanging that flag out there.
Shame on them. Because it shouldn't be about what people do sexually that causes us to hang a flag somewhere."This is the pride flag that had Charlie Kirk threatening to no longer bring his conference to the Gaylord Texan Resort.
