The Congresswoman, 48, herself posted the video on Twitter slamming the activist and calling the group she was with as "foolish cowards." The video starts with Greene walking outside the US Capitol while being heckled by a group of Voters of Tomorrow who started grilling Congresswoman Greene on gun violence. Engaging with a different protestor at first Greene says, "You're a coward is what you are! Go move to another country where they take away your guns." Greene tells the man, "You have a free choice go somewhere else we have the Second Amendment here. I'll always defend myself, I'll defend my children, I'll defend my home, especially from people like you," she added. Greene's communications director Nick Dyer could be seen repeatedly telling the group we need the access to the sidewalk. This is when the teen protestor Marianna Pecora recording Greene on her phone is seen walking around the congresswoman, before the teen activist starts casually marching in front of Greene as she chuckles into laughter asking her "How does the second amendment prevent gun violence?"
These foolish cowards want the government to take away guns & the rights of parents to defend their children in schools.
