Disturbing video has QAnon Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene calling Parkland survivor David Hogg 'coward'

Greene is a 'Parkland shooting denier' but is now set to join the House Education and Labor Committee. Her Facebook posts have asked for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to be hanged and called Hogg 'little Hitler'

Activist Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was killed in the Parkland school shooting, shared a 2019 video of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene openly harassing the then 18-year-old Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg. In the video, Hogg is on his way to meet with lawmakers over gun legislation when Greene calls him a 'coward' and accuses him of 'using kids' to 'attack our second amendment'. In the tweet captioning the video, Guttenberg wrote: ".@mtgreenee, is this you harassing @davidhogg111 weeks after the Parkland shooting, that my daughter was killed in & he was in? Calling him a coward for ignoring your insanity. I will answer all of your questions in person. Get ready to record again."

Guttenberg posted the video right after CNN's KFile unearthed several examples from back in 2018 and 2019 where Greene wanted to 'hang' former President Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the Iran nuclear deal. "Now do we get to hang them ?? Meaning H & O ???," she had said, referring to Hillary and Obama. She had also showed support for a 'bullet to the head' for Nancy Pelosi. 

After the video was posted, Hogg himself responded about the ordeal, in a long tweet thread in which he retweeted comments by those who were disgusted by Greene's behavior at the time and his own assessment of what he had faced as an 18-year-old. "The amount of disinformation the right has spread about my friends and I is insane. It’s almost gotten my friends and myself killed, people have chased us off the road, showed up at our hotels with guns, put dead animals on our door steps and sent 1000s of death threats," he wrote, and replied with "Agreed" to Hillary Clinton's tweet saying: "This woman should be on a watch list. Not in Congress" with a link to Guttenberg's video. 

After the video was posted, the calls for Greene's removal from the House intensified with prominent names chiming in, ranging from celebrities like Mia Farrow to activists like Shannon Watts of 'Moms Demand Action', an anti-gun violence advocacy group. Mia Farrow tweeted: "This is Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene harassing Parkland high school student just weeks after the shooting. She has also called for executing Democratic lawmakers. She is dangerous & MUST be removed from congress".

Watts tweeted about Greene's track record before she became a Congresswoman, saying: "while Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was an "internet provocateur" before she was a member of Congress. In fact, she gained an online following by videotaping herself harassing Parkland gun violence survivors and posting the videos on Youtube."

Andrew Kaczynski of CNN's KFile, which was behind the original expose, also tweeted about how Greene had called David Hogg "little Hitler" and "paid actor" in her Facebook posts.

Greene is a 'Parkland shooting denier' calling it a "false flag" operation, much like Infowars' Alex Jones had called into question the 'authenticity' of the Sandy Hook shooting. "I think the lesson we’ve learned from Parkland denier Marjorie Taylor Greene is that as long as you’re racist enough, you can say or do just about anything as a Republican and face zero consequences," said another Parkland shooting survivor, Cameron Kasky, who co-founded the student-led gun violence prevention advocacy group Never Again MSD. 

Congresswoman Greene is set to join the House Education and Labor Committee and has plans to "reopen every school in America, expand school choice, protect homeschooling, champion religious freedom for student and teachers, and prevent men and boys from unfairly competing with women and girls in sports,” according to her spokesman Nick Dyer.

Alex Jones incidentally now can be sued for disputing the authenticity of the Sandy Hook shooting by the parents of the victims.
