Marjorie Taylor Greene visited the Capitol in 2019 and falsely claimed that Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are illegitimate House members because they swore in on the Quran. She also unsuccessfully tried to get them to retake their oaths on the Bible. mediamatters.org/congress/marjo…
To be clear: factcheck.org/2019/01/bibles…
Greene also said that she wanted to tell Reps. Omar and Tlaib that they "really should go back to the Middle East if they support Sharia." In addition to her remark being bigoted, it's also ignorant: Omar was born in Somalia while Tlaib was born in Michigan.
The @splcenter previously noted this visit in an August 2019 @Hatewatch profile which documented how Greene has frequently published hateful videos to social media: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
In addition to being a bigot, Greene has pushed QAnon (mediamatters.org/qanon-conspira…, via @AlKapDC), 9/11 (mediamatters.org/congress/qanon…, and Seth Rich (mediamatters.org/seth-rich-cons…) conspiracy theories.
She has the support of Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

Greene also "mused about the possibility that the Las Vegas massacre was a massive conspiracy intended to help pass gun control measures" () and called the pipe bomb packages near the 2018 midterms a hoax by the targets (mediamatters.org/congress/membe…).
