RESOLUTION
Condemning and censuring Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of
Georgia.
Whereas, in 2018 and 2019, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene liked several
posts and comments on Facebook demonstrating her support for the
execution of several members of the Democratic Party;
Whereas, in April 2018, a Facebook commenter asked ``Now do we get to hang
them?? Meaning H & O???'' referring to former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and former President Barack Obama;
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene replied to the Facebook comment,
``Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be
patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them
off'';
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene liked a Facebook comment in
January 2019 that stated, ``a bullet to the head would be quicker'' in
reference to the removal of the Speaker of the House of Representatives
Nancy Pelosi;
Whereas, in January 2019, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene started
circulating a petition to impeach Speaker Pelosi for crimes of treason;
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene called for the execution of
Speaker Pelosi in several videos stating that she was ``a traitor to our
country, she's guilty of treason'' and should ``suffer death or she'll
be in prison'';
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene also said that Speaker Pelosi,
``took an oath to protect American citizens and uphold our laws. And she
gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally invade our land.
That's what treason is. And by our law representatives and senators can
be kicked out and no longer serve in our government. And it's, uh, it's
a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty
of treason'';
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has also liked comments that
stated, ``Trump already said there were some great ones working with FBI
but some have fallen and quite frankly need to be hung for TREASON!''
and ``These Traitors need to be put to death as an example of what will
no longer be tolerated in our country!!!'';
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has continued efforts to cast
doubt upon the results of the 2020 Presidential election by espousing
conspiracy theories and by threatening and inciting violence, which has
the potential to lead to tragic consequences, causing irreparable damage
toward the people's faith in our democratic process; and
Whereas Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's comments and actions are
dangerous, signal a threat to other Members of Congress, and brought
shame on the House of Representatives: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That--
(1) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia be
censured;
(2) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene forthwith present
herself in the well of the House of Representatives for the
pronouncement of censure;
(3) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene be censured with
the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker; and
(4) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene should
immediately resign from office to allow an individual more
befitting of the respect of the people of the United States to
represent Georgia's 14th District.
