Marjorie Taylor Greene Faces Expulsion From Congress After Taunting Parkland Survivor David Hogg

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is facing expulsion by House Democrats after a video surfaced of her taunting Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg about gun laws. Along with her confrontation with Hogg, there have been recent revelations that Greene used social media to call for violence against Democrats.

In the video, which has since gone viral, Hogg is seen walking to the Capitol as Greene followed him and made baseless claims while asking him about gun rights and his meetings with senators. Hogg, who was a teenager at the time, remained silent throughout the encounter.

On Wednesday, California Democrat Jimmy Gomez announced he would be introducing a resolution to expel Greene from Congress.

“Her very presence in office represents a direct threat against the elected officials and staff who serve our government, and it is with their safety in mind, as well as the security of institutions and public servants across our country,” Gomez said.

The Democrat went on to note that Greene’s Republican colleagues do not support her behavior amid his bid to expel her from Congress.

“Such advocacy for extremism and sedition not only demands her immediate expulsion from Congress, but it also merits strong and clear condemnation from all of her Republican colleagues, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,” Gomez said.

Greene is not expected to be ousted due to a likely party-line vote. To expel a House member it takes a two-thirds majority and Democrats have just a 221-211 majority in the chamber.

Hogg, 20, has been a vocal gun control activist after surviving the 2018 shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Florida. Seventeen people were killed and 17 were injured in the attack.

Hogg on Thursday told CNN that it was important for Republicans to come together and expel Greene from Congress.

“My message to Kevin McCarthy is, take all of her committee assignments away ... also, don't support her when she runs for re-election again and try to get her primaried. If you say this is not your party, actually call it out and hold her accountable,” Hogg told Alisyn Camerota in an appearance on “New Day.”

Hogg also questioned Republican leadership for not taking important stands.

“Republicans always act as if they’re the party of decency and respect. But would the party of decency and respect question whether or not school shootings happened? Would they harass the survivors of these shootings for having different opinions than them? I don’t think so. And if Kevin McCarthy doesn’t think so either, he needs to actually stand up and do something about this congresswoman.”

Greene, who took office on Jan. 3, has liked posts on Facebook that supported violence against Democrat leaders and frequently posted conspiracy theories, including QAnon theories that paint former President Donald Trump in a fake war against celebrities and Democrats who abuse children.

In a Facebook live video from 2019, Greene said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was "guilty of treason" and that treason is "a crime punishable by death." She also liked comments that said that "a bullet to the head would be quicker" than removing Pelosi from office.
