Get Greene’s gun giveaway off YouTube!

27September 2021 – Congressperson Marjorie Taylor-Greene today reached a new low with an online giveaway for a semi-automatic weapon.

In her video which can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhT9Yp1tK1Q  , she mixes in anti-Biden propaganda as part of this giveaway, linking him inexplicably to the gun prize draw.  For example, one of her video segments carries the caption ‘Joe Biden armed an Islamic terrorist nation with $83 billion in weapons’.  This can easily be interpreted as meaning to inflame anti-Biden sentiment to the audience of people wanting to get this gun.  She then says she will ‘blow away the Democrats [sic] socialist agenda’, and presumably using the ‘prize,’ she aims and seems to destroy a vehicle marked ‘socialism’.  Is this a member of a well-regulated militia? Is this a person fit to be in Congress?

The far-right webchat group Gab emailed its subscribers with information on how to enter the prize draw.  This ad talks about the weapon being the kind that “TRIGGERS fake news media and Democrats.”  The ad, which has no closing date or terms and conditions,  can be found here https://action.greene2020.com/50cal-gab-em/  

Let’s get this vile, gun-glamorizing, inflammatory video taken off social media.  If you would also take an extra step and let your Congressional representatives know about the situation – they may be able to help.

This ad for a gun – where the entry form has no age limit, no info on background checks – is highly irresponsible. Greene brings Biden into her vile gun giveaway with propaganda about him which could inflame her base. How is destroying a vehicle after talking about Biden anything but incitement? America has a serious gun violence problem and this content does not help.  It doesn’t belong on YouTube; please get rid of it and her channel.

Expel and/or Charge Marjorie Taylor Greene

Wednesday 27 January, Washington DC – Congressman Jimmy Gomez (CA) moved to have Marjorie Taylor Greene expelled from Congress.  At One Pulse for America, we cannot think of a single reason she should remain.

She pushes Q Anon conspiracy.

She called for violence against Democrats and FBI agents.

She has no qualms with the insurrectionists.

Earlier this week a video surfaced from 2019 of her shockingly harassing David Hogg by following him around DC and the Capitol, shouting abuse at him.

Mr Hogg, 18, is a tireless, admirable campaigner for gun law reform since his experience at Marjory Stoneman High, scene of a tragic shooting,  which Greene says was ‘staged’.

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton endorsed calls to remove Ms Greene on Wednesday.

“This woman should be on a watch list,” Ms Clinton wrote on Twitter. “Not in Congress.”

David Hogg wrote to March for our Lives supporters:  “People like Marjorie Taylor Greene are dangerous. She is a vicious, dehumanizing, radicalized bully. The amount of disinformation that gun-rights supporters have spread about my friends and me is ridiculous — and it’s almost gotten us killed. We’ve been chased off the road, threatened with guns at our hotels, and have received thousands of death threats. We’ve had memes made about us, like the one Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on her personal Facebook referring to me as “little hitler.” I was 17 at the time and again, was just asking lawmakers to do something to stop kids from getting killed.”

Statistically, it is not likely the House will vote to expel her, but some form of action must be taken.  It would be nice to see her expelled or at least censured.  There may be a case to say that her inexcusable abuse of Mr Hogg is harassment and that her talk of having high-profile figures killed could be a criminal offense and/or coersion (if it intimidates elected officials or intends to).

Please contact Speaker Nancy Pelosi through one of the channels below and give her the following message, personalized to your liking:

 

Dear Madam Speaker

The conduct of Marjorie Greene is a stain on Congress.  From her support of discredited and dangerous conspiracy theories, her calls for violence against high-profile figures and FBI agents, her support for insurrection, through to her inexcusable treatment of David Hogg, some form of action be taken.

Whether or not successful, a move to expel her as proposed by Rep. Gomez seems a wise course.  We do not avoid asking for justice just because the vote may not go they way justice dictates.  I also think there is a case for her to face criminal prosecutions  on harassment, credible threats of violence, intimidation, death threats and coersion.  I hope you will use your influence to see every possible sanction is taken against her.

As a member of gun law reform group One Pulse for America, I also ask that you expedite gun law reform, which now thankfully will at least no longer be blocked when it goes to the Senate.

I want to see you and all your colleagues, all gun violence survivors treated with respect and dignity, and be able to carry on without fear.  Ms. Greene’s behavior is a threat to everyone.

@SpeakerPelosi I am shocked at how @mtgreenee treated gun violence survivor @davidhogg111 . I hope to see @RepJimmyGomez succeed in his bid to have her expelled. I believe she should face charges re her credible threats to life. Gun law reform must be expedited. Thank you.
