Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene bellowed with laughter when at a recent town hall a supporter suggested executing political rivals.
Ms Taylor had a q&a session with Gordon County residents when she was asked about the penalty for treason.
āWe know that treason has been released and nobody is prepared to answer for it. Something has got to be done. Itās treason. Our country, our Constitution has been stomped on repeatedly. … People have got to be tried for treason,ā an audience member said.
To that, Ms Greene retorted yes.
Then another supporter chimed in adding, āAnd death penaltyā causing Ms Greene to roar with laughter.
āI think weāre ending on the right note,ā Ms Greene said.
In 2021, a CNN review of Ms Greeneās social media ā from before she ran for Congress to represent Georgiaās 14th Congressional District ā found that repeatedly call for the execution of Democratic politicians including former President Barack Obama and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
In a Facebook post in 2018, Greene went on a rant about the Iran Deal from Mr Obamaās tenure as president. Then a supporter commented on the post, āNow do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O ???,ā referring to Mr Obama and Ms Hillary Clinton.
Greene replied, āStage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off.ā
