Marjorie Taylor Greene was outraged after she was accused of worshiping ‘convicted criminal’ Donald Trump after getting angry at Dr. Anthony Fauci at a hearing on Monday.
The Georgia representative told Fauci that he was “not a doctor” and that he “should be in prison” during a heated questioning.
This led Congressman Jamie Raskin to say that Republicans treated him “like a convicted felon” before joking that the GOP “worships” convicted felons, a reference to former President Trump.
In an interview after the hearing, Greene was clearly upset with Raskin over the allegation.
“We have Jamie Raskin in there accusing us of worshiping Trump, worshiping a convicted felon,” he said, putting quotes around the words “convicted felon.”

The interviewer responded, “Well, he’s a convicted felon,” referencing the 34 counts of document falsification for which Trump was found guilty in Manhattan on Thursday.
‘Well, yeah, so is George Floyd. You all too, the media loves George Floyd. Democrats love George Floyd. There were riots, they burned the damn country because of George Floyd,” he said.
Greene then became enraged and began refuting claims that she worshiped Trump.
‘Raskin is there saying we adore him. Excuse me, let me correct you, and this is really important. I don’t worship… I worship God. God! And Jesus is my savior. “I don’t love President Trump and I’m really sick and tired of the nonsense I’m constantly confronted with from Democrats.”
She then tried to criticize Rep. Robert Garcia of Florida, who called her “crazy” for refusing to refer to Fauci as a doctor at the hearing.
‘So they’re sitting there, they can attack my character all they want. Whatever his face there, whoever spoke last was calling me crazy. But we still can’t say that they are attacking my character? Oh no, it’s non-stop nonsense and tomfoolery.’
He then reiterated that he held Democrats and Fauci responsible for “the horrors this country experienced during COVID,” including suicides, forced vaccinations and lockdowns.
“Fauci should be in prison, he should be tried for mass murder, and he should be tried for crimes against humanity,” he said.

He was asked if he regretted the conduct that occurred during the hearing with Fauci.
“No, absolutely not, everything I said is correct, it’s what the American people feel, it’s what we know to be a fact, the evidence has been proven to be true.”
The Republican firebrand was reprimanded by colleagues for her questioning while Fauci was questioned about his response to the pandemic and the origins of COVID.
Greene also claimed that Fauci’s ‘evil, repulsive science’ led to schoolchildren having to endure classes wearing masks and claimed that he abused puppies during his tests.

She was sitting near two colleagues in a picture she said broke her social distancing guidelines.
‘Do you think that’s appropriate… Mr. Fauci, because you’re not a doctor in my few minutes… that man doesn’t deserve to have a license. In fact, it should be overturned and he should be in prison,” Greene said.
“We should recommend that you be prosecuted… for crimes against humanity,” the Georgia Republican continued.

He says this has been the most unruly conference in his years and a half in Congress.
Fauci became emotional as he detailed death threats against him and his children, while insisting that taxpayer dollars were not used for risky gain-of-function research in China and that he never used personal email for “official business.” “.
His explosive admission came before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which has been seeking for more than a year to determine the origins of the pandemic that killed more than a million Americans and millions more around the world. world.
The fast-paced hearing briefly slowed when Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., asked Fauci about the personal toll his role on the White House Coronavirus Task Force took on him.
“I and my three daughters have received credible death threats, which has led to the arrest of different people,” he said. “Credible death threats mean someone who was clearly on a path to kill.”
“It’s very problematic for me,” he continued. “It’s even more problematic because they involve my wife.”
