and that they have "already begun doing so."
We’re all targets now, though, for daring to push back against the regime,” Greene said at the event in Warren, Michigan. “And it doesn’t stop at a weaponized legal system. I’m not going to mince words with you all. Democrats want Republicans dead and they have already started the killings.”
Like other Trump loyalists and far-right Republicans, Greene echoed the former president’s claim that the “corrupt” FBI wrongly targeted him by searching his Mar-a-Lago property for classified documents in August.
Greene’s speech conflated her baseless belief in that conspiracy theory with another: that two violent incidents in disparate parts of America were entirely motivated by political animus
The first incident occurred in North Dakota, where a 41-year-old admitted to fatally running down a teenager with his SUV. The man reportedly told a 911 dispatcher that he believed the teen was “part of a Republican extremist group” and that people were “coming to get him,” Fox News reported.
North Dakota Highway Patrol Captain Bryan Niewind, however, told Fox News there was “no evidence” to support the claim that the teen was a “Republican extremist, nor that this incident involved politics.”
The incident in Michigan, meanwhile, appeared to concern trespassing.
A man shot an 83-year-old anti-abortion canvasser who reportedly got in a screaming match with his wife, according to Fox News. The man told News 8 that he shot the woman by accident after he warned her several times she was trespassing and she refused to leave his property. The woman survived and the incident is under investigation; it’s unclear if the man was a Democrat.
Greene, who was stripped of her House committee assignments over violent rhetoric in 2021, recently came under fire for likening Democrats to wild hogs that should be put down.
Thanks to ridiculous statements like this, I expect there will be some violence this fall in the elections. No one in the GOP holds anyone accountable for saying such incredibly provocative things, just like Trump did./does.
