QAnon rep Marjorie Taylor Greene faces calls to QUIT for fueling conspiracy that Parkland school shooting was staged
QANON representative Majorie Taylor Greene faces calls to quit after fueling conspiracies theories that the Parkland school shooting never happened.
Relatives of the victims who died in the Valentine’s Day shooting in 2018 have demanded the Georgia congresswoman resign after spreading theories that the massacre was staged.
The horrific shooting resulted in the deaths of 17 pupils and teacher at Stoneman Douglas High School in after a lone gunman opened fire.
The congresswoman’s shocking remarks came to light this week when Media Matters for America unearthed a number of 2018 Facebook posts by the representative.
is a Pro-Trump representative who was elected to Congress despite supporting that the government is run by a “deep state” of Satanist pedophiles.
In May 2018, Taylor Greene posted a story about - who was shamed after running away on the day of the school shooting - receiving a pension on retirement.
In the comments section, a follower wrote: “It's called a pay off to keep his mouth shut since it was a false flag planned shooting.”
Greene replied: “Exactly.”
Another person commented: “Kick back for going along with the evil plan. You know it's not for doing a good job.”
And Greene responded: ‘My thoughts exactly!! Paid to do what he did and keep his mouth shut!”
Gun rights activists often claim school shootings are “false flag” events, staged by Democrats with paid actors instead of real victims to bring in tighter gun restrictions.
Taylor Greene also made in a Facebook post.
In 2018, Green posted: “I am told that tells several times a month that 'we need another school shooting' in order to persuade the public to want strict gun control."
The comments were deleted on Wednesday after they were discovered this week.
But relatives of the 17 students and staff killed in the Parkland school massacre have demanded the congresswoman resign.
Survivor of the shooting David Hogg said Taylor Greene must apologize.
He said: “Apologize Now or continue to spread these conspiracies and we will be sure to make the next 2 years of your life not only your last in Congress but a living hell as well.”
Mr Hogg added that relatives and survivors of the shooting would “also accept your resignation in place of an apology”.
Activist group March For Our Lives - which was created after the tragedy to campaign for gun control tweeted: “@mtaylorgreene, the shooting at our school was real. Real kids died and our community is still grieving today.
“You should be ashamed of yourself and resign from congress.
“Conspiracy theorists don't deserve a seat in the people's house.”
But the Rep Taylor Greene instead issued a statement, insisting MORE guns are needed in schools to keep students safe.
She said: “‘Gun-free’ school zones are a FAILURE.
“Laws that prevent legal ownership of firearms turn schools into targets.”
The congresswoman did not explain her 2018 comments on the Parkland School shooting.
Father Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter Jamie, 14, died in the attack, demanded the representative explain her views.
He wrote: “@mtgreenee , your feelings on gun laws are irrelevant to your claim that Parkland never happened.
“You are a fraud who must resign. Be prepared to meet me directly in person to explain your conspiracy theory, and soon.”
