Marjorie Taylor Greene became incensed after she was accused of worshipping ‘convicted felon’ Donald Trump after getting heated with Dr. Anthony Fauci in a hearing Monday.
The Georgia representative told Fauci he was ‘not a doctor’ and ‘belonged in prison’ during heated questioning.
This led Congressman Jamie Raskin to say that Republicans were treating him ‘like a convicted felon’ before joking that the GOP ‘worships’ convicted felons, referencing former president Trump.
In an interview following the hearing, Greene was clearly annoyed with Raskin over the accusation.
‘We have Jamie Raskin in there accusing us of worshipping Trump, worshipping a convicted felon,’ she said, putting finger quotes around the words ‘convicted felon.’
The interviewer responded: ‘Well, he is a convicted felon,’ referencing the 34 counts of falsifying documents Trump was found guilty on in Manhattan Thursday.
‘Well yeah, so is George Floyd. You all too, the media worship George Floyd. Democrats worship George Floyd. There were riots, burning down the f***ing country over George Floyd,’ she said.
Greene then became irate and started to refute claims that she worshipped Trump.
‘Raskin is in there saying we worship him. Excuse me, let me correct you, and this is really important. I don’t worship… I worship God. God! And Jesus is my savior. I don’t worship President Trump and I’m really sick and tired of the bulls*** antics I deal with constantly from the Democrats.’
She then tried to call out Congressman Robert Garcia of Florida, who called her ‘insane’ for refusing to refer to Fauci as a doctor in the hearing.’
‘Then they’re sitting there, they can attack my character all they want. Whatshisface is in there, whoever was talking last, was calling me insane. But yet we can’t say they’re attacking my character? Oh no, it’s nonstop BS and antics.’
She then reiterated that she held Democrats and Fauci responsible for ‘the horrors this country lived through during COVID,’ including suicides, forced vaccinations and lockdowns.
‘Fauci belongs in prison, he should be tried for mass murder and he should be tried for crimes against humanity,’ she said.
She was asked if she had any regrets over the conduct that took place during the hearing with Fauci.
‘No, absolutely not, everything I said is correct, it’s how the American people feel, it’s what we know to be a fact, the evidence has been proven true.’
The Republican firebrand was rebuked by colleagues for her questioning as Fauci was grilled over his pandemic response and COVID origins.
Greene also claimed that Fauci’s ‘repulsive, evil science,’ led to school children having to endure class with masks and claimed he abused puppies with his testing.
The Georgia lawmaker also showed the hearing photos of him sat in the empty seats of a Washington Nationals baseball game after he threw out the first pitch.
He was sat close to two colleagues in an image she said broke his social distancing guidelines.
‘Do you think that’s appropriate…Mr. Fauci, because you’re not a doctor in my few minutes…that man does not deserve to have a license. As a matter of a fact it should be revoked and he belongs in prison,’ Greene said.
‘We should be recommending you to be prosecuted … for crimes against humanity,’ the Georgia Republican continued.
Freshman Democrat Garcia slammed Greene for her ‘ridiculous’ attacks on Fauci.
He says this has been the most unruly conference in his 1.5 years in Congress.
Fauci got emotional when detailing death threats against him and his children, while also insisting taxpayer dollars were not used for risky gain-of-function research in China and he never used personal email for ‘official business.’
His bombshell admission came before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that has been seeking for over a year now to determine the origins of the pandemic that killed over a million Americans and millions more globally.
The fast-paced hearing slowed down briefly when Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., asked Fauci about the personal toll his role on the White House Coronavirus Taskforce cost him.
Myself, my three daughters, they have had credible death threats, leading to the arrests of different individuals,’ he said. ‘Credible death threats meaning someone who clearly was on their way to killing.’
‘It’s very troublesome to me,’ he continued. ‘It is even more troublesome because they involve my wife.’
